WIOA Emphasizes Use of Labor Market Information (LMI)
• States are encouraged to use funds to develop and disseminate workforce and labor market information (WLMI).
• Knowledge pertaining to the socio-economic factors influencing the employment, training, and business decisions in national, State, sub-State, and local labor market areas. These factors, which affect labor demand-supply relationships, worker preparation, and educational program offerings, also define the content of the WLMI programs and system.
• Employment statistics information includes job listing information, job skills information, and demand occupation information.
“In-Demand” Defined
(WIOA) In-Demand Industry Sector or Occupation means:
… has or is projected to have a number of positions (including positions that lead to economic self-sufficiency and opportunities for advancement) in an industry sector so as to have a significant impact on the State, regional, or local economy, as appropriate.
IndustrySector
Occupation
…..has a substantial current or potential impact (including through jobs that lead to economic self-sufficiency and opportunities for advancement)… and that contributes to the growth or stability of other supporting business, or the growth of other industry sectors
In-Demand Services Alignment
• Regional and Local Planning - must consider local and regional occupations that are in-demand
• Employment Opportunities - must focus on in-demand occupations with a sustainable living wage
• Program Planning - training programs must include skills and credentials of in-demand occupations and industries
• State and Local Board Members - must represent local and regional in-demand occupations and industries
Services and Activities Must Align with In-Demand Occupations and Industries:
LMI for State and Local Plans
• Contains a Regional Analysis of economic conditions including existing and emerging in-demand industry sectors and occupations.
• Employment needs of employers in existing and emerging in-demand industry sectors and occupations.
• Knowledge and skills needed to meet the employment needs of the employers in the region, including employment needs in in-demand industry sectors and occupations.
• An analysis of the regional workforce, including:
current labor force employment and unemployment data
information on labor market trends
educational and skill levels of the workforce, including individuals with barriers to employment.
Ways of Determining In-Demand Occupations and Industries
• Custom Employer Surveys – Expensive, difficult to conduct. Age immediately they are completed. Can provide an accurate picture of a point in time.
• Traditional LMI – Survey based. Usually very precise, utilize rigorous sampling criteria and careful sampling frames. Data can lag.
• Real-Time LMI – Data is as recent as yesterday. Not as rigorous as surveyed data. Issues of representation and duplicate postings.
Measures of Occupation & Industry Demand • Total Employment –
Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) Program
• Annual Percentage Change
in Openings – Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) Program
• Total Annual Openings – Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) Program and QCEW
• Advertised Jobs – Real-time job postings
