of the total number of occupations reported for that cluster/pathway. The same process is used to determine HS clusters/pathways.
• HW & HD Cluster/Pathway: A Cluster/Pathway is designated as HW if, within the cluster/pathway, the total employment for HW occupations is greater than the
total employment for non-HW occupations. The same process is used to determine HD for clusters/pathways.
