16. An Example…

17. Occupational Scan Employment Data by number of Jobs in 2002
projected jobs up to 2018
Earnings
An occupational scan is a way of not only validating existing careers but developing new careers to support our local community through comparing jobs in a region to a larger reference region like all jobs in the state or the nations
EMSI assists with the creation tables of occupation employment and earnings data for a given timeframe,
with options for state and national data, education level, and projected new/replacement jobs.
Occupation Report: This report can Generate quick reports showing job percentage change, location quotient, and shift share—both current and projected up to 10 years—for any occupation or group of occupations.

18. Economic Indicators Location Quotient Shift Shares National Effect
Occupational Mix Effect
Regional Competitiveness Effect
Also, this tool that will assist with a labor market analysis of how certain jobs impact the economy. A standard method of regional economic analysis attempts to separate regional job growth into its component causes. The three main causes identified are the “national growth effect,” which is regional growth that can be attributed to the overall growth of the entire U.S. economy; the “industrial mix effect,” which is regional growth that can be attributed to positive trends in the specific industry or occupation at a national level; and the “regional competitiveness effect,” which is growth that cannot be explained by either overall or industry/occupation-specific trends. Shift share can be applied to job decline as well as job growth.

19. Occupational Comparisons within Industry
Highest Ranked Positions
Lowest Ranked Positions
Compatible Occupations for Transition Workers
Industry Clusters
From the data on the highest and lowest ranked positions we can explain how a certain occupation fairs in an industry. Also, the inverse staffing report can be run to see what other jobs displaced workers can transition to within an industry. The industry clusters data also shows the secondary expertise of current jobs and other avenues for employment for a person with a certain set of skills. Now, I will proceed with an actual example of an entry-level purchasing career. We had a request for an occupation scan of purchasing careers in the desert region. Thus, for the purposes of this part of the presentation I will utilize zip codes from the desert cities. An entry-level occupation for a purchasing career is the procurement clerk.
