Labor market economists argue that it is difficult to fit occupations into a few skill categories, but most will agree that there are at least three. In this schema, high-skill occupations are those in the professional/technical and managerial categories. Low-skill occupations are in the traditional, in-person service and agricultural categories. The rest are middle-skill occupations. There is much focus on high-skill and low-skill occupations, but many jobs and careers fall somewhere in the middle. In this article, the authors give an overview of the characteristics of middle-skill occupations, and the role career and technical education (CTE) plays in preparing workers for those jobs.
