Labor Market Information -- SO WHAT! • Two words : INFORMED DECISIONS • A person (yourself, client, student, relative, friend) invests time, effort, dreams, money, & plans for a career -- only to find later that there is not a good market for the occupation. • THAT’S A BIG SO WHAT! • Career Advice – We have all heard “Do what you love” – good advice . . . • But make sure there is a market for it.

  16. How can Labor Market Statistics help with Performance Goals and Planning?(help people) Goal: Training and placing people in high demand occupations 1st Step: Identify the high demand occupations in the local job market

  17. Demand Occupations How can we identify high demand occupations? • Fast Growing? • Most Job Openings? • High Paying? • High Skill? • Low Turnover? • Training/Education Requirements?

  18. Sample Comparisons of Arizona Occupations(see handouts 2, 3, & 4) • Short sample lists of occupations ranked high to low based on: • Growth rate (handout #2) • Job openings (handout #3) • Wage (handout #4) • Ranking allows for easier comparisons • Many fast growing occupations do not have the most job openings • Occupations with the most openings are not necessarily high paying • Education & training requirements can limit choices • Can we combine this in one report instead of three?

  19. Training& Education ResourceModel T E R M -- ranks occupations by: YES! – • Percentage growth rates • Number of projected openings • Average Wages • O*NET Skills • Turnover Ratios (Growth/Separations) • Education/ Training Level Requirements • All in one report!

  20. Handout #5 Training/ Education TERM diagram: High Skill Most Job Openings Fast Growing Top TERM Occupations Low Turnover High Pay

  21. Sample Options & Scenarios 3 examples • “All” occupations listing (Handout #5) (notes #6) • No restrictions on training & education requirements • 10 year employment forecast (2008 - 2018) • Top Associates Degree Occupations (Handout #7) • Limited to Associates Degree occupations • 10 year employment forecast (2008-2018) • Top “On the Job Training” Occupations (Handout #8) • Limited to “OJT” occupations • 10 year employment forecast (2008-2018)
