Abstract	Occupational supply and demand in Washington State was examined by comparing projected supplies of skilled workers coming out of the state's community and technical colleges against the projected demand among Washington employers for people qualified to enter particular occupations. The analysis was based on a January 2000 report, information gathered after publication of that report, a disaggregation of previous statewide estimates into Washington's 12 service delivery areas, and a survey of information technology (IT) work force needs that elicited 440 usable responses (a 24.6% response rate) from approximately 1,800 questionnaires mailed to Washington firms in May 2000. The following were among the main conclusions of the analysis: (1) the educational and training programs offered by Washington's community and technical colleges in many occupations, including computer-related and health occupations, merit expansion; (2) although demand outstrips the supply of graduates coming from community and technical colleges in the computer support cluster, many students exit after taking only a few courses; (3) the software industry's rapid growth is affecting nearly every major category of occupations and is creating substantial additional demand in a wide range of college programs; and (4) IT-related fields face strong and growing demand from a diverse set of employers.
