Imperial Valley College submitted the appropriate LMI. While a supply gap exists for this occupation, the available LMI recommends proceeding with caution when developing a program because 1) entry-level wages are below the living wage and 2) the percentage of students who earned a living wage after completing related programs is below the state average for students who complete Career Education programs in general.
