GETTING READY FOR HIGH-PAYING CAREERS


Getting Ready for High-Paying Careers

The Maine State Chamber of Commerce’s and Educate Maine’s policy brief, “Getting Ready for High-Paying Careers,” identifies the Maine jobs and sectors that are in demand now and that are projected to be in demand in Maine for the next ten years. Job sectors included are computer analysis, construction, engineering, health care, hospitality, and manufacturing.

For each job sector, the policy brief provides data on annual projected job openings, average pay, and education level by occupation. An individual interested in computer analysis, for example, can find data on the types of jobs available in the information technology sector, typical activity for the job, current and projected demand in Maine, and average salary. They also can find information on the various career pathways for jobs in this sector and how a person can get started.
