Miramar College submitted the appropriate LMI from the COE. There is a supply gap (531 annual job openings), entry-level wages are $29.13, and total employment for the occupation increased from 11,835 to 13,041 jobs in the region over the past 10 years. Based on available LMI, the COE report supports the program modification.
