• Mid-Atlantic includes Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, and Virginia.
• MS, HS, HW and HD are abbreviations for Middle Skill, High Skill, High Wage
and High Demand Occupations
• MS & HS Cluster/Pathway: A Cluster/Pathway is designated as MS if, within
the cluster/pathway, the percentage of MS occupations is at least thirty (30) percent
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.
