San Diego Mesa College submitted the appropriate LMI from the COE. The COE recommends proceeding with developing a program or a program modification because 1) a supply gap exists for these occupations; 2) their entry-level and median earnings are above the living wage; and 3) a high number of annual openings exist. The region’s community colleges should note, however, that employers typically require a minimum educational attainment of a bachelor’s degree for Construction Inspection Occupations, except “Construction and Building Inspectors.”
