Who is CWIA? Why are we here? CWIA = Center for Workforce Information & Analysis (www. workstats. dli. pa. gov) About CWIA: Ø A bureau within the PA Department of Labor & Industry charged with compiling, analyzing & preparing labor market information (LMI) on the residents and workforce of the commonwealth. Ø CWIA measures and report on Pennsylvania’s labor force (employed and unemployed), employers, industries, occupations, wages, and skills through various products and services. Today’s Presentation Goals: Introduce users to new and updated LMI products Ø Basic LMI Concepts Ø Useful Products – Big Picture to Little Picture • Economy and Industry • Career Exploration • Other Concepts and Tools
LMI Concepts Ø Much of CWIA’s data is assigned by: • Industry or • Occupation Ø While these terms are often used interchangeably, they are in fact very different when it comes to data. • Industry refers to the type of business or organization where an individual works • Occupation refers to the job duties that an individual actually performs at their place of work Ø An industry has workers in various occupations while a single occupation can be found in many different industries. Example: • Industry – Hospital or Residential Construction • Occupation – Registered Nurse or Carpenter
Industries Ø Industries are categorized by North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes. Ø The structure is hierarchical and starts with a 2 -digit NAICS code for the broadest category (“Sector”) and expands to a 6 -digit NAICS code for the most specific category (“National Industry”) Example of Hierarchy: Sector: Subsector: Industry Group: NAICS Industry: Natl. Industry: 44 -45 441221 Retail Trade Motor Vehicle and Parts Dealer Other Motor Vehicle Dealers Motorcycle, Boat, and Other Motor Vehicle Dealers Motorcycle, ATV, and Personal Watercraft Dealers http: //www. census. gov/econ/census/help/naics_other_classification_systems/naics_structure. html
Occupations Ø Occupations are classified using the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) structure. Ø Like NAICS codes, SOC Codes are also hierarchical starting with 2 -digit codes for broad “major group” occupations and finishing with 6 -digit codes for “detailed occupations”. Example: 15 -0000 Computer and Mathematical Occupations 15 -1100 Computer Occupations 15 -1110 Computer and Information Research Scientists 15 -1111 Computer and Information Research Scientists 15 -1120 Computer and Information Analysts 15 -1121 Computer Systems Analysts 15 -1122 Information Security Analysts 15 -1130 Software Developers and Programmers 15 -1131 Computer Programmers 15 -1132 Software Developers, Applications 15 -1133 Software Developers, Systems Software 15 -1134 Web Developers

Job Skills Ø Job Skills go beneath occupational titles to list the knowledge, work activities, tools & technologies, and certifications typically required for an occupation and can aid in training and curriculum development. Ø Tangible and attainable skills that can be trained for utilizing local community colleges or technical schools q A Knowledge Area is a key educational or experience requirement for an occupation (e. g. Computers and Electronics) q General Work Activities are types of job behaviors that occur across multiple occupations (e. g. interacting with computers) q Detailed Work Activities are types of specific job behaviors or duties particular to an occupation (e. g. use computers to enter, access or retrieve data) q Tools & Technologies are machines, equipment, tools, and information technologies that one could be expected to use in a particular occupation (e. g. Microsoft Access)

Skill Gaps and Most Needed Skills Ø Determine Skill Gaps from Occupation to Occupation – • To move from an Statistician to an Economist requires additional training on 3 key knowledge topics (economics and accounting, law and government, and sociology and anthropology), 25 DWAs, and 24 tools and technologies. • Use the Determine Skills Gap Tool Ø Determine most needed job skills from Skills Projections – • Look at total, growth and replacement occupational openings and determine most needed job skills by Workforce Development Area • Find your region’s Hot Skills – determined by volume and rank change from previous projections, difference from state projections, and projected change from 2014 to 2024 • Use Projected Job Skills 2014 -2024
