Amid intensifying debate on the benefits of higher education, the Wisconsin Policy Forum sought to provide context in this report by examining the educational requirements of projected job openings in Wisconsin. Although a strong majority of the state's expected job openings through 2030 do not require a college degree or credential, nearly two-thirds do in occupations with median wages of $50,000 or more. That is likely to increase in the future, as occupations that require higher education are expected to account for a disproportionate share of new higher-paying jobs.
