Why Do We Need Labor Forecasts?
Helps with big picture big picture understandingunderstanding of trends and worker migration
Provides insight into changes changes over timeover time of workforce
Provides a springboard springboard to answer some questions about the distribution of trades by building type and geography
5
Challenges to Creating Demand & Supply Forecasts
Understanding exactly how much labor, by trade, flows into different kinds of construction types
Differences in construction practices by geography
Understanding the supply of labor by trade & across geographic areas
6
Examples of Existing Major Information Sources Department of Commerce’s Economic
Census of Construction Industries
Bureau of Labor of Statistics Occupational Employment Surveys
McGraw-Hill Construction Dodge Construction Project Data
SEMTA’s* Southeastern U.S. Open Shop Craft Census Study
Construction Labor Research Council’s Database of Labor Costs
* Southeast Manpower Tripartite Alliance (SEMTA) has been organized to determine the magnitude of craft labor demand and supply in the Southeast, including the impact of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita; identify ways to minimize potential labor shortages; and develop appropriate action plans
7
Specific Outcomes of Demand & Supply Forecasts Projection of overall demandProjection of overall demand and supply
for each of the skilled trades during the intermediate (up to 5 years) and long-term (more than 5 years)
Geographic concentrationGeographic concentration for each skilled trade
Determination of the impact that changes in construction practiceschanges in construction practices, building products and worksite management / training may have on skilled trade
8
Understanding the relationship relationship between different craft hours for between different craft hours for different project typesdifferent project types

McGraw-Hill Construction’sConstruction Labor Demand Forecast
Harvey Bernstein, F.ASCEVice President, Industry Analytics, Alliances & Strategic Initiatives, McGraw-Hill Construction

MHC Construction Labor Demand Forecast Focuses on creating a demand model for skilled trades in
the construction sector
– Over the intermediate termintermediate term (5 years)
– Calculates local skilled trade utilization mixlocal skilled trade utilization mix
Covers U.S. at national, state and local levels
– The geographic and building type detailgeographic and building type detail in MHC forecasts means projections of demand for the skilled construction trades by building type extends down to the local geographyextends down to the local geography
Links building activity with labor demand in ways that are consistent with federal data and McGraw-Hill Construction forecasts and Dodge project data
25
MHC Construction Labor Demand Forecast Methodology Uses proprietary Dodge database of construction startsDodge database of construction starts along
with projects in the planning stages
Uses MHC forecasting modelsMHC forecasting models to determine sector forecasts and scale to regional and state level forecasts
Uses U.S. government dataU.S. government data to determine skilled trade hours in different building types
Creation of national, state demand coefficientsnational, state demand coefficients for state and local forecasts
26
MHC Proprietary Project Information Dodge Project Network Database:
– The most comprehensive source for construction starts data for the entire U.S.
– Used by U.S. Department of Census for Put-in-Place, which feeds GDP calculation
– Time series data monthly back to 1967
– 600,000 active projects
– 60,000 plans and specifications per year
27
MHC Proprietary Forecasting Methodology
Analytic Analysis:
– Forecasting modelsForecasting models based on the most comprehensive historical database available
– Econometric modelsEconometric models for 22 major construction industry sectors at the national and regional levels
– State and metro area modelsState and metro area models
– Expertise in determining the percentage of percentage of projects that will ultimately reach start projects that will ultimately reach start (within 5 years)(within 5 years)
– Expertise in determining the length of time to length of time to start for projectsstart for projects
construction analysis, forecasts and trends
28
Uses Government Data to Create National Demand Coefficients
Create national “demand coefficients” by drawing on two major government information sources to create a table of skilled trade employment per thousand dollars of construction value by building type
– Department of Commerce’s Economic Census of Construction Department of Commerce’s Economic Census of Construction Industries:Industries: Contributions of each construction industry to building activity by building type
– Bureau of Labor of Statistics Occupational Employment Surveys Bureau of Labor of Statistics Occupational Employment Surveys (OES):(OES): Occupational employment for the skilled trades by industry
29
Creating State & Local Demand Coefficients
Adjust national demand coefficients to fit state and major metro areas
Use OES data & MHC Dodge project data MHC data allows for impact from large projects These calculations are performed to produce trade
hours per $1000 of construction by building type
30
Creating Local and State Skilled Trade Forecasts Multiply the demand coefficients by the
corresponding McGraw-Hill Construction forecast by building type for a state or local level
Sum each skilled trade across building types Note: The construction mix is crucial in forecasting Note: The construction mix is crucial in forecasting
demand for the trades, since utilization rates vary demand for the trades, since utilization rates vary significantly by building typesignificantly by building type

Electricians in Albany-Schenectady-Troy, NY MHC examines large
projects in the planning queue
And evaluates whether projects will go to start
This allows for clarity on labor demand forecasts
More large projects means the forecast will be more stable versus dependence on one very large project
