The education and training requirement for each occupation is classified into 1 of 11 categories identified in the legend for the table. Because there are a variety of ways to enter a field, occupations in the table are classified by the education and training background most workers need to be considered qualified for a job. These categories represent the minimum education and training requirement for entering and progressing in an occupation.

For occupations requiring a college degree, the table indicates the level of degree workers need. For occupations requiring on-the-job training without attending postsecondary school, it notes the length of time workers must undergo training to become proficient. Remember, these education and training categories reflect the most common requirements for entering an occupation. For example, the educational requirement for teacher is level 5, a bachelor's degree. This is because teachers in all States are required to have a bachelor's degree for certification to teach in public schools. But in some States, teachers in public schools must have a master's degree while teachers in private schools may not have the same licensing requirements as do those in public schools.
