LMI Researchers Build Dashboards Analyzing State Certifications and Licenses Data
|
|
|
|
|
|
On October 15th, 2020 at 1:00 PM ET, the Labor Market Information (LMI) Institute will hold a virtual seminar to explore applications for State Certifications and Licenses data using Tableau software. In this seminar, FREE and exclusive to LMI Institute Members (Register here), participants can learn how Tableau helps LMI researchers visualize and disseminate the attainment of state level certifications and licenses, and their associated earnings, by age, race and/or ethnicity, gender, industry, and occupation.
State Certifications and Licenses estimates enable labor market researchers to identify the industries and occupations in which certification and licensing is most prevalent and most impactful on workers’ earnings. States can use these data to benchmark the attainment of certifications and licenses, in addition to degrees, for key occupations and sub-populations against other states, their region, and the nation. Researchers can additionally use these data to identify the industries and occupations in which certification and/or license attainment most increase the earnings of workers and design training programs to upskill workers in these fields.

Projections Managing Partnership Adopts 2021-2023 Plan
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Projections Managing Partnership (PMP) serves as a central hub and primary technical assistance resource for state analysts as they develop and deliver high quality state and local employment projections. This includes:
- Maintaining a shared software and consistent methodology for producing projections.
- Fostering a network of projections subject matter experts and analysts to exchange ideas.
- Promoting professional excellence and continuously improving employment projections.
- Establishing common standards for producing state and local employment projections.
- Representing the concerns of projections analysts to national stakeholders.
- Helping customers use projections data and related data products more effectively.
In September 2020, the PMP adopted a new three-year strategic plan (2021-2023) after completing a series of virtual working sessions. Strategies and activities are identified to support the accomplishment of three major goals: Strengthen the PMP value proposition; Increase the value and relevance of PMP products and services; and Enhance PMP capabilities. See Plan.

The PMP supports the work of state LMI offices and is governed by a 9-member board of state LMI Directors, with support from partners in Colorado, Utah, Illinois, North Carolina, the LMI Institute, along with the U.S. Department of Labor Employment Training Administration (ETA) and Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

Michigan: State of Registered Apprenticeships
|
Apprenticeships are a significant component of the talent pipeline in Michigan, as the state ranks within the top five in the country for the number of active apprentices. Moreover, apprenticeship programs provide a key pathway to high-demand, high-wage employment that does not require a 4-year degree. Given this importance, Michigan recently completed a study of apprenticeships using data from the federal Registered Apprenticeship Partners Information Management Data System (RAPIDS). The report findings address several critical topics for policymakers including demographics of apprentices and how well programs serve vulnerable populations, the growth of non-traditional programs, and the outcomes of program completers. Michigan’s recent work also linked administrative wage records with RAPIDS data for the first time, providing a much more in-depth analysis of employment and wage outcomes of apprentices after program completion. See more here.

South Dakota Workforce Report for 2019
|
The South Dakota Workforce Report for 2019 is now available. This comprehensive, annual report on South Dakota’s labor market examines all aspects of the state’s labor economics, including population and workforce demographics, gross domestic product, labor force, worker commuting, worker levels by industry and establishment size, personal income, poverty, population projections, employment projections by industry and occupation, and high demand/high wage occupations. The annual workforce reports typically cover data sets for the calendar year. Because of the significance of the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s annual report also includes a look at trends in workforce data available for the period since the outbreak.
