Educational Requirements
This data provides the percentage of difficult to fill or high demand jobs that require various levels of education: less than high school or GED, some college, a vocational or associate degree, a bachelor's degree, or a graduate or professional degree.  Because these data are reported directly by employers, some apparent inconsistencies may emerge.  For example, teachers may appear to need less than a bachelor's degree, when in fact, the data reflect a need for a substitute teachers who may not require a bachelor's degree.
