The Michigan Career Outlook Through 2012 includes statewide and labor market regional information on high-growth occupations, occupations with large numbers of annual job openings, and the levels of education required for specific high-growth occupations. This information is useful for students, job-seekers, individuals seeking a career change, and career counselors.  These 19 publications (one statewide and 18 regional by labor market area) are published by the Michigan Department of Labor & Economic Growth (DLEG), Bureau of Labor Market Information and Strategic Initiatives.  The PDF file format is compatible with JAWS screen-reader software.  Below are links to each brochure, listed alphabetically by labor market region, indicating the counties included:
