The Occupation In-Demand list (OID) is a set of jobs that we expect to be key regional drivers of employment growth in the near future.
The list only includes occupations with 50 or more jobs within Pierce County. The “In-Demand” classification is based on the Employment Security Department’s occupation projections, updated annually, and adjusted throughout the year, based on partner feedback and other regional considerations. The OID list helps guide training funds and is a criteria for training programs on the state’s Eligible Training Provider List.

If you believe an occupation is misclassified, please feel free to use our Change Request Form to request a reclassification and to share supporting information for that change.
OID Updates & Management
Using the OID Change Request form, community partners and employers can submit additional information to support the reclassification of an occupation. WorkForce Central will review all change requests and supporting documentation with the goal of making a final determination within five business days*.
It is the responsibility of the requestor to submit a clear rationale and supporting evidence for a reclassification. If the change request does not make a strong case, a request may be declined. WorkForce Central will notify the requester of the final decision as soon as a decision is reached.
