  4. Part 1 A New Tool for LMI
  5. LMI or Labor Market Information I What Labor Market Information (LMI) do you use? Does it help decide how to invest in WIA programs? Does it help you engage with employers? Does it help you educate job-seekers about the job market?
  6. LMI or Labor Market Information II Some LMI examples include Unemployment rate Job growth/loss: overall, by industry or by occupation Location Quotient (Industry concentration within a given area) Median Earnings overall or by occupation
  7. Occupational Profile Not all Jobs are Created Equal Most Labor Market Information spends a lot of time talking about job creation, but understanding the profile of jobs, both new and old is more important. Wages Matter Opportunities for growth and connectivity to career pathways matter Skill and educational requirements matter Connectivity to growing industry clusters matter

  11. Part 2 Data from the Tiered Occupational Analysis
  12. Overall Change in Time If we look at a three tier occupational profile of the United States going back to the late 1970’s (Autor, 2010. Brookings), Tier 2 jobs (mid wage/mid skill) have been negatively impacted by Technology and ongoing automation Offshoring of “routine” tasks to a developing country The great recession only catalyzed what has been occurring for 30 plus years
  13. California Occupational Profile 2001 2013 Change Tier 1 15.6% 16.0% +0.4% Tier 2 43.1% 40.3% -2.8% Tier 3 31.2% 33.9% +2.7%

  20. Part 3 Implications For Workforce & Economic Development
  21. Changing Occupational Profile Conclusions Income Inequality The changing structure of occupations has had a considerable impact on income distribution in this country and across the developed world. The income inequality issue is further exacerbated by geographic differences in Tier 3, Tier 2 and Tier 1 median wages. Low cost regions have generally lost to high productivity and innovative areas
  22. Changing Occupational Profile Conclusions Career Pathways & Skill Development Tier 3 occupations generally provide less opportunity for advancement and connectivity to career pathways than Tier 2 or Tier 1 occupations. Tier 1 and Tier 2 occupations are more likely to be employed in industry clusters that have larger employment multipliers, such as Life Sciences, ICT and Aerospace.
  23. Changing Occupational Profile Conclusions Industry Clusters Matter 1. Tier 1 occupational employment generally drives economic development and those occupations that employers have greater difficulty finding qualified applicants. 2. Tier 2 occupational employment tends to have more churn and volatility as it is more connected to industries such as finance/banking, construction and manufacturing.
  24. Key Questions 1. Does your workforce development strategies offer opportunities in Tier 1, 2 or 3 employment? If Tier 3 are they connected to reasonable pathways? 2. How are Tier 3 workers developing skills to move into Tier 2 and 1 employment opportunities (underemployment)? 3. What is the relationship between Tier 1 and Tier 2 employment and a given region and what impact has that had on regional recovery from the great recession?
