Local Labor Needs

Projected Employment: The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services has produced the Job Outlook to 2014 for the Youngstown-Warren-Boardman metroplitan area.

Local businesses anticipate a change in employment over the next few years due to the number of baby boomers retiring.

Fastest Growing Occupations 2004-2014

Occupations with Most Annual Openings 2004-2014

Jobs that become available when workers leave the position to take a job elsewhere, or decide to leave the workforce entirely, are labeled replacement jobs. They are not new jobs, but a reordering of existing employment. Replacement jobs in the Youngstown-Warren area are expected to increase in the next few years due to the number of expected early retirements.
