What Is The Value Of An Industry Sector Analysis? • Provides baseline regional economic information necessary for development of a workforce or economic development strategy: • Existing sources of industry employment • Recent trends in industry jobs • Future forecasts of demand by industry sector • An industry sector analysis is a first step needed to address further related information needs such as: • Key regional occupations • High wage high growth occupations • Skill sets
How Can the DLEG Industry Sector Profiles Be Used? • Will help answer a number of questions on your regional labor market: • How do local job trends compare with Michigan and U.S. patterns? • What broad sectors contribute an unusually high share of regional jobs? • What are the key local core sectors and what has been the recent job and wage performance in those sectors? • What industries have added and lost jobs locally? • What are the regional “developing” and “competitive-advantage” industries?
