It is our goal to provide our education and workforce partners with the information they need to help Michiganders find their path to high-demand, high-wage jobs.”
The top careers according to the highest hourly wage are Architectural & Engineering Managers, Computer & Information Systems Managers, Financial Managers, General & Operations Managers, Lawyers, Marketing Managers and Sales Managers.
The top careers according to job growth are Health Specialties Teachers – Postsecondary, Industrial Machinery Mechanics, Logisticians, Massage Therapists and Physicians Assistants.
Many of the careers require Bachelor’s Degrees and some require even more education. Many also required licensing and work experience. There were a few jobs listed that can be acquired through apprenticeships like electricians, plumbers, pipe fitters and steamfitters. Other jobs could be attained through an Associate’s Degree such as Dental Hygienists, Paralegals, Legal Assistants, and Physical Therapist Assistants.
