Low 57
Other 12
High: Fields directly related to biotechnology, advanced manufacturing, and industrial sectors. Critical to economic health of the City. Industries create high-skilled, well-paid positions, generate significant tax revenue, and are rapidly expanding.
Medium: Field that is not as critical to local economy’s immediate needs, such as healthcare support roles, professional services, and business administration. These fields require skilled workers and offer good career prospects but do not face the same level of urgency in workforce shortages.
Low: Fields with less direct demand in Hayward’s current labor market such as general arts or hospitality.
Other: Classes that do not fall under any other category, such as transfer credit classes. *Data has been updated since staff report approval
