“The data compiled in these lists are invaluable to students and job seekers alike as they make decisions about their futures,” said Jason Palmer, director of DTMB’s Bureau of Labor Market Information and Strategic Initiatives. “It is our goal to provide our education and workforce development partners with accurate, relevant, timely, and transparent information to help them advise their constituents.”

The "Michigan’s Hot 50" brochure and poster list the top high-demand, high-wage careers through 2028 that show a favorable mix of projected long-term job growth, projected annual job openings, and median wages. The career information includes title, projected annual openings, hourly wage range, job growth information, and the education or training level needed. The "Michigan’s Career Outlook" brochure features the highest demand jobs based on education level and features the top jobs in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) careers.

The third annual Michigan Occupational Outlook Conference brought together representatives from education, state government, the legislature, and workforce development to learn about the information available to them and how it is developed.
