• What are the wages, benefits, hours, career paths and potential for advancement for particular occupations?

• For which jobs are employers having the most difficult time finding qualified candidates?

• What are the significant business and other trends that will have an impact on the labor market?

• Where can a job seeker obtain needed education, training and workforce services?

Background: Real Time Jobs in DemandBackground: Real Time Jobs in Demand

• Jobs are getting scarce• A lot of concerns about the relevance

of our job projections• Need for all kinds of data, but no

time to assimilate and synthesize all the information needed

• Through various studies we identified significant resource misalignment

Background: Where are the Jobs Now?Background: Where are the Jobs Now?

• Although the labor market seems to be getting much tighter, data revealed that there are a significant number of job openings posted on various job boards.

• No information available about these job openings.

• This information is crucial; it should drive our reemployment initiatives.

Data Foundation of the ToolData Foundation of the Tool

• Real time job demand tools are based on data collected through a spidering technique.

• Spider Technology: a software that queries thousands of private and government job boards and websites, newspaper classified postings and other media outlets, corporate job boards and websites, and community sites for employment opportunities.

Data Foundation of the ToolData Foundation of the Tool

• Many states have access to job search tools that are based on spidering software

• Information used primarily by job seekers and job counselors

• NJ is analyzing this data to identify trends in the openings by industry and occupation.

Components of the ToolComponents of the Tool

• Real time job demand tools have two components:

• Real-Time Industry Demand• Real-Time Occupational Demand
