New Data Insights Roundtable Webinar Series
Over the next year, the LMI Institute and Projections Managing Partnership (PMP) will be working with a select group of state LMI offices and their stakeholders to better understand LMI data user needs and develop additional resources for meeting them. This includes a new series, Data Insights Roundtable, examining how states are already successfully providing different user groups with the insights they need to make data-driven decisions.
This series starts with a presentation from Christine Blumauer and Nicol Nicola of the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development that will showcase how the Department’s Office of Research collaborates with its Office of Policy to maximize their data’s impact on public policy to help New Jersey’s workforce development efforts and protects New Jersey businesses.

Insider View – Be in the Know
|
|
|
|
|
|
This past spring, the LMI Institute and Projections Managing Partnership (PMP) convened a group of workforce and economic development scholars to discuss what they see as the most important trends and challenges we are facing when looking at the future of work in our country, as well as to provide recommendations for how public LMI data systems, particularly state projections analysts, can plan for and address these trends.
This month we spotlight a paper by Henry Renski focused on job postings data, which allow for valuable real-time analysis, as well as tracking long-term demand for various occupations and skills. However, these data are not without limitations and drawbacks. In this report, Dr. Renski evaluates ways that this data can be best used to make labor market predictions, as well as the potential risks of relying too heavily on new data sources.
