* AO: All others, occupations that are not being included in other occupational classifications

**On-the-Job Training is classified as Shrt/trm (Short-term), Mod/trm (Moderate-term) and Long/trm (Long-term)

*** Occupations that are projected with a large number of openings for one of the WDAs are designated with either (Milw) or (WOW); (projections on growth, annual openings and wage information will apply to that WDA only)

**** When information was not available for both WDAs, numbers are marked by (WOW) or (Milw) to indicate figures are only for that WDA

***** The list excludes those occupations which typically require training and education beyond a bachelor's degree.
