A new report projects Indiana will have more than 487,000 job openings by 2016 requiring more than a high school diploma but less than a four-year college degree.
The report Thursday from the National Skills Coalition and the Indiana Institute of Working Families says the state should continue to invest in training and education to ensure it has people ready for those so-called "middle skill" jobs.
It says more than half of all jobs are classified as middle-skill, but fewer than half of Indiana workers likely have the credentials to fill them.
Demand is expected to grow for middle-skill jobs such as nurses, dental hygienists, police officers, truck drivers, electricians, industrial machinery mechanics, pipelayers, plumbers and welders.
