Supply and Demand Gaps The supply side for this analysis uses Board of Regents data, and includes completers for
fiscal year 2008. The demand side uses the 2006-2016 occupational projections. LED worked with LSU to compare supply of annual completers to annual projected openings resulting from job growth and replacements.
Assumption: Some training or education in a technical or community college is required for 50% of jobs requiring long-term training and 25% of jobs requiring moderate-term training.
Demand for 3,892 more 2-yr and technical positions than supply of completers. This figure represented 51% of the total supply.
Supply of 10,312 more four-year completers than demand.
At the doctoral and first professional degree level, supply exceeded demand by 836 graduates.
