A person with a CTE-related associate degree or credential will earn on average between $4,000 and $19,000 more a year than a person with a humanities associate degree.

27 percent of people with less than an associate degree, including licenses and certificates, earn more than the average bachelor degree recipient.

The skilled trades are the hardest jobs to fill in the United States, with recent data citing 806,000 jobs open in the trade, transportation and utilities sector and 293,000 jobs open in manufacturing.

Health care occupations, many of which require an associate degree or less, make up 12 of the 20 fastest growing occupations.

STEM occupations such as environmental engineering technicians require an associate degree and will experience faster than average job growth.

Middle-skill jobs, jobs that require education and training beyond high school but less than a bachelor's degree, are a significant part of the economy. Of the 55 million job openings created by 2020, 30 percent will require some college or a two-year associate degree.
