Occupational Projections (Long Term) provide estimates of current and projected occupational employment for a 10-year projections period. Also provided are the annual growth rate, the number of annual openings, the number of annual transfers from one occupation to another, and the number of annual exits from the labor force. These data are updated every 2 years.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How accurate are these job projections?
  Readers should view the estimates of projected employment as indicators of relative magnitude and probable direction rather than as estimates of absolute values. Therefore, consider the projections a starting point when studying future industry and occupational employment.
• What happened to the two-year projections?
  Short-term projections are no longer required by the U.S. Department of Labor, so Indiana production ceased with the 2025-26 vintage.
