Vacancies by Education Requirement Vacancies by Education and Length of Vacancy

• The majority of job vacancies, 76 percent, had no educational requirements or required a high school diploma or GED. This is compared to the 10.1 percent of vacancies that required a bachelor’s degree or higher. • The average lowest hourly wage offer generally increased with the level of education required, ranging from $8.89 for vacancies that required no education to $40.38 for those that required a doctoral or professional degree. The exception is that wages for vacancies requiring a master’s degree were less on average than those requiring a bachelor’s degree.

• In six out of the seven educational groups, the plurality of job vacancies had been open for less than 30 days, indicating that jobs are being filled quickly. • A majority of job vacancies, 50.2 percent, with no educational requirements were always open. • For vacancies requiring a doctoral or professional degree, 55.7 percent were open for 30 days or longer. This was the only education level where the majority of jobs were open for this long of a period indicating a possible shortage of people with this education level in the area.
