The study seeks to expand the occupational information available to educators by relating job openings data to information about the earnings of persons employed in different occupations, their educational attainment, and the opportunities individual fields are expected to offer for women and nonwhites. The data refer to 123 occupations including those related to all the major federally-supported vocational programs. The report presents historical data and projections to 1980 and 1985 which are consistent with the U. S. Department of Labor's economic growth model. The data base includes published and unpublished decennial census data, current population survey reports, and Office of Education and other enrollment data. The research indicates that the vocational enrollments tend to be concentrated in programs related to occupations with median earnings below those of the overall labor force. The occupational distribution for women is projected to change slowly in the next decade with somewhat greater shifts for nonwhites. The major changes in educational attainment are expected to take place in the less skilled occupations. Vocational enrollments have become more labor market oriented. However, there is a high ratio of enrollments to anticipated job openings in the agricultural fields, and a low ratio in the health and distribution fields. Appendixes (121 pages) contain the national projections, replicability of the national projections for the states of Kentucky and New Jersey, and the statistical tables. (Author/RG)
