  11. Regional Occupational Makeup (Cont.) The last step is to provide the competitive wage intelligence. This is done based on the number of applicants per job opening. You can see that since the number of applicants per job opening is 1.21 for Sales representatives, you’d yellow the 75th and 90th percentiles

  12. Regional Occupational Makeup (Cont.) What you’ve just done here is provide business intelligence about supply/demand in various occupations and show how this might affect where the wage offer would fall. In order to obtain the ‘available applicants’ you need to be in partnership with your workforce center, because this data comes directly from your statewide workforce development data base. In Colorado this database is called Connecting Colorado. This is one of our most popular data products. Businesses, economic developers and site selectors have found the information of great value.
