As you might know, LMI is focused on using data to predict the future of work. Here’s how we made our prediction, and what we learned.
After producing automation scores, we engaged our networks to develop next generation skills-based labor market information. We convened nine experts to help better identify the various ways that technology change differentially affects regions and industries, the nature of occupational transformation due to automation, and, for manufacturing specifically, the increase in technology-related roles despite an overall decline in manufacturing jobs over the last 20 years. Based on these observations, initial recommendations for public LMI data systems and projection analysts include:
- Increase integration of real time data, not just on skills, but also industry and technology change that informs skill requirements, as well as on the function of job chains that shape supply of skill
- Demonstrate more practical modeling for planning purposes, such as consideration of multiple scenarios, to help regional decision makers consider various skill futures
- Reflect on past predictions and real results, demonstrating a learning mindset that competitive regions must adopt to respond effectively to technology change
Four papers commissioned for the Projections Managements Partnership (PMP) in 2023 informed these recommendations. Summaries and the papers are available below. We also thank Manav Raj and Robert Seamans for their work and paper, How will Language Modelers like ChatGPT Affect Occupations and Industries? as well as Yustina Saleh, Anuraag Singh, Michael J. Handel, Allison Forbes, Tucker Plumlee, and Jacob Stenstrom for participating in the discussion and refining the recommendations.
