The 30mapped occupations supported 64,970 jobs across all educational levels in theWestchester County economy in 2022. Over the next 10 years, these jobs are expected to grow 12.3% (Figure 1.5). In 2022, there were 6,952 job openings within the mapped occupations at the associate degree level and below. The 6,952 job openings are in part being filled by the 356 SUNY WCC’s Healthcare program completers, as well as the 92 completers from other institutions in the region. Subtracting this supply of human capital from the 6,952 annual openings, we arrive at 6,504 job openings, or a gap of 6,504. This means there is not enough supply of trained workers in Westchester County to meet the need of regional employers. In 2022, regional employers posted 4,968 unique job postings at the associate degree level or below for these occupations in Westchester County. The annual median advertised salary for these job postings was $41,600.
