The professional trades are the hardest jobs for employers to fill. More than one million jobs are currently unfilled in manufacturing, trades, transportation and utilities. People with a professional trades associate degree earn $4,000 to $16,000 more per year than those with a humanities associates degree.

There are a ton of rewarding career opportunities in professional trades. Check out the website below for more information:
