I. Introduction Founded in 1947 as Sacramento State College, California State University, Sacramento (Sacramento State) serves the educational needs of a rapidly growing, diverse population. The University has a paramount role in advancing the economic interests of the region and throughout the state. Within the seven different academic colleges, the University offers baccalaureate, master’s and doctoral degrees with a high level of rigor that prepares students to become leaders in our communities. The economic impact of Sacramento State is more than $900 million yearly to the Sacramento region. According to the California Department of Finance, this metro area is expected to be one of the fastest growing areas in the country. The Greater Sacramento Area’s economic outlook is positive with the recent addition of the new Golden One Center, Downtown Commons (DOCO), Wide Open Walls Festival, and the continued development of infrastructure throughout the city. Planning for the Future at Sacramento State Sacramento State is a fast growing campus setting the blueprint for other universities in the CSU system. With the recent completion of the 71,000 square foot University Union expansion, Sacramento State now offers more campus seating, a new Starbucks, Student Crisis Office (CARES), and the ASI food pantry that is bringing in more resources for students. Most recently, Sacramento State set forth a new project called, “Hornet Commons,” a new student housing project that is set to house over 1,100 students. Sacramento State continues to make strides to meet the growing housing needs. Additionally, the campus recently opened its new $90.5 million dollar Ernest E. Tschannen Science Complex for fall 2019. This 95,000 square foot building includes new classrooms, laboratories, a planetarium, and observatory, and is the hub for discovery, preparing Sacramento State Students to tackle global issues such as climate change. Additionally, the campus opened the new Welcome Center. This two story building is now the focal point for campus tours and the location for University news conferences. This building also houses University Transportation & Parking Services (UTAPS) to make parking related transactions more accessible to the campus community and visitors. Purpose The purpose of this report is to highlight important characteristics within the GSA (Greater Sacramento Area) that are useful for administrators and other stakeholders. This report examines important areas including population characteristics, employment characteristics, education characteristics, income and poverty characteristics, information on local education providers and current and future needs within education. This report can be utilized as a guide in assessing the needs of services and academic programs provided by Sacramento State to future populations.
Study Area The GSA is the focus of the report and encompasses Sacramento County, Yolo County, Placer County, and San Joaquin County. These counties are high feeder areas that make up approximately 60% of enrolled undergraduate students during the fall 2019 semester. For this reason, data reported reflects the GSA.
For the purpose of this report, we include the following higher education institutions: Sacramento State, UC Davis, Sierra College, Los Rios Community Colleges (Sacramento City, American River, Cosumnes River, and Folsom Lake), San Joaquin Delta College and Woodland Community College.

B. Crosswalk of Gap between Degrees Awarded and Associated Demand for Occupations
This section examines gaps between program areas offered at Sacramento State and the occupational demand of those occupations.
Table 46 shows the Occupation, number of degrees awarded in AY 2019-2020 that are cross-walked to each occupation. The Ward Gap is the difference between the number of degrees awarded and the Target Range (The range between Annual Demand and the US Awards Benchmark), The US Awards Benchmark is the average occupation demand for other regions with similar employment levels as the region, and the Annual Demand is the total 1-year demand for that occupation in the region.

Regional reports from the Office of Institutional Research, Effectiveness & Planning at Sacramento State, Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) and the Economic Development Department (EDD) all echo that the industry forecast needs to keep up with the economic demands of business and commerce.
The occupational trade and skill labor sector presents a large gap between what is offered at the CSU’s and UC’s, and do not meet the needs of the local economy. The fastest growing occupational categories projected from 2016-2026 for the Greater Sacramento Area include trade and skill labor and service; Transportation Workers, Personal Care Aids, Home Health Aides, Physical Therapist Aides, Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks, Taxi
Page 70 Office of Institutional Research, Effectiveness & Planning, California State University, Sacramento ACADEMIC PROGRAM NEEDS ASSESSMENT OF THE GREATER SACRAMENTO AREA Drivers and Chauffeurs, and Pipe layers. These top employment needs pose a major gap in industry needs and must be addressed by either certificate’s, coursework or apprenticeship programs.
Sacramento State, which is part of the CSU system, along with the UC system offers educational programs to prepare graduates in most career areas. Highlighted are the top three programs with job opportunities; Business, Nursing, and Education. This was determined by examining the number of graduates compared to the average annual job openings. These are the three program areas we will need more graduates from in order to fulfill the demands of the Greater Sacramento Area labor market.
Sacramento State along with the other local colleges and universities will need to come up with technological, innovative and fresh ideas on how to meet the present and future employment gaps.
