Existing Demand Occupations
Existing demand occupations are occupations that have the highest number of projected total job openings. Starting with the release of the 2017-2025 projections, job openings will be calculated using the new Separations Method. Total job openings reflect (1) job openings resulting from employment growth, (2) job openings resulting from workers permanently exiting an occupation and (3) job openings resulting from workers transferring to other occupations. In most occupations, replacement needs provide many more job openings than employment growth does.
Existing demand occupations tend to be occupations that serve the most basic societal needs. The most common existing demand occupations in the U.S. labor market are low-skill, hourly wage occupations with high turnover. Florida follows the national pattern, with common existing demand occupations in the state, including retail salespersons, food preparation and serving workers, waiters and waitresses, and cashiers. Some existing demand occupations in Florida are relatively high skill. Such occupations include registered nurses, accountants and auditors and elementary school teachers.
The top five existing demand occupations for Florida statewided are related to customer service and hospitality. Retail salesperson is the top existing demand occupation, with 482,959 projected total job openings between 2017 and 2025. Two of the top existing demand occupations are healthcare occupations: registered nurses and nursing assistants, which have a relatively high turnover rate and will experience employment growth because of the increasing demand for healthcare services, driven by population growth and aging, expanding insurance coverage and technological change. Only two of the top existing demand occupations require significant technical training: registered nurses and accountants and auditors.
The following table displays the top 15 existing demand occupations (based on 2017-2025 total job openings) for Florida statewide.

Emerging Occupations
Emerging occupations consist of (1) new occupations in the workforce and (2) traditional occupations whose requisite knowledge, skills and abilities are currently evolving in response to altered market conditions, new technology and societal changes.
Some of the factors that cause occupations to emerge are changing technology, laws, demographics and business practices. In Florida, the fastest growing among the emerging occupations are statisticians, solar photovoltaic installers, nurse practitioners, cartographers and photogrammetrists. The most common industry sectors for emerging occupations are healthcare and professional services, due to ongoing advances in medical technology; life, physical and environmental sciences; engineering, mathematics and computer sciences; and psychology and the social sciences.
Most top emerging occupations occur in the healthcare (11 of top 20) and professional services (6 of top 20).
The growth in healthcare sector emerging occupations reflects an increasing demand for medical services due to population aging, expanding medical insurance coverage and technological innovation.
The following table shows the top 20 emerging occupations for Florida statewide. This list is based on 2017-2025 projections of percent job growth for occupations with less than the average employment level.

(iii) Employers’ Employment Needs
The needs of employers with respect to knowledge, skills and abilities (KSAs) are provided for each occupation in the labor market by the O*Net system (see https://www.onetonline.org/).
By using the content in the O*Net database, it is possible to analyze the knowledge, skills and abilities for individual occupations, occupational groups, or targeted occupations. The following is an analysis of occupations that are emerging, have rapid growth and have numerous job openings. O*Net level and importance scores for the various KSAs were matched to the relevant occupational groups. The level and importance score were added together and standardized to a 100-point scale. The following nine graphs show the knowledge, skills and abilities for (1) emerging occupations, (2) occupations with numerous job openings and (3) rapid growth occupations as defined in the O*Net system.
The highest KSAs for emerging occupations are knowledge of English Language, Customer & Personal Service, Active Listening, Reading Comprehension, Oral Comprehension and Oral Expression.
