Report shows regional economic and industry growth

SAN BERNARDINO, CA (April 10, 2014)—The County of San Bernardino announced today occupations that will be in high demand over the coming years in San Bernardino and Riverside counties.

The Economic Trends and Forecasts Report lists sectors that will see the largest growth and pinpoints 75 specific careers that are predicted to see an increase. The report, compiled by Chmura Economics and Analytics, commissioned by the County of San Bernardino Workforce Investment Board, was presented on Wednesday, April 9 to representatives from the region’s business community.

The report recommends actions to expand the supply of locally trained and credentialed workers and that the type of intervention needed to strengthen the talent pipeline will vary between the occupations. Additional outreach may be required, for example, in communities with low-education attainment to foster greater interest in key fields.

Key findings of the report are as follows:
