Why is the list of "priority sectors" different, depending on where you get your information?

The comparison was between the San Diego Workforce Partnership (SDWP) and the Centers of Excellence for Labor Market Research (COE). First, it's good to know that the seven COEs are tied to the CA Community College's Chancellor's Office. This means that they are supporting the needs of the 116 community colleges in the state and their students. The focus for community colleges is ensuring students are being trained for in-demand, middle-skill jobs. On the other hand, the SDWP is looking at industry sectors that have high and growing numbers of jobs that pay at least a self-sufficient wage at entry level. This includes jobs and sectors where little to no education is necessary, or the post-secondary requirements can include bachelor's degrees or higher. Need an example? Hospitality was often a priority sector for SDWP, but not necessarily for the San Diego community colleges due to the fact that most entry-level jobs do not need more than a high school diploma and the initial wages are fairly low. So which list do you use? Both are great. It just depends on what you need your data for.
