Question:
What is a five-star job?
Answer:
The Utah Department ofWorkforce Services uses astar rating to rank jobs basedon employment outlook andwages. In this rating system,five-star jobs are those with thestrongest employment outlookand high wages. The employ-ment outlook rating is based 90percent on the number ofannual openings projected forthat occupation and 10 percent

wage estimates for decision-making purposes. Theseinexperienced-level estimatesare computed by taking theaverage of the lowest third ofworkers in an occupation.
Wages were collected by theUtah Department of WorkforceServices in 2005. For moreinformation on occupationalwages visit our web site:jobs.utah.gov/wi.

on the rate of new employmentgrowth in that job. Wagerankings use the medianannual wage from the Utahwage survey conducted by theDepartment of WorkforceServices.
The system groups jobs bytraining level. In other words, ahigh-paying or five-star job withon-the-job training will notmatch the wages of a high-paying five-star job requiring acollege education!

These openings cover only the“demand” for occupations.Every good economist knowsyou also need to look at thesupply side of the equation. Inother words, you need to knowthe supply of workers availableto work in that occupation.Unfortunately, that isn’t easy.There’s not much supply-sidedata available.
An occupation may createhundreds of new openings ayear. BUT, if thousands ofworkers are qualified for thosepositions, a bunch of people
won’t be able to find work inthat occupation!
In other words, look at thesupply of labor for a particularoccupation—not just thedemand data you find in thispublication. We do have somefigures on the number ofpeople completing certainprograms at public institutions.However, that excludes many,many qualified workers.
So, you’ll have to do yourhomework! Check with peoplealready employed in the occu-
