Employment and the Labor ForceEmployment in Region 9 has been slowly increasing since the trough in late 2010-early 2011. During Q1 2014, employment fell slightly but has grown compared to Q1 in 2013 (0.7% growth) and since Q1 2012 (2.0% growth). Q1 employment tends to be lower than other quarters during the year and 2014 seems to starting off on the same trend.
While employment has grown, the labor force has been stagnant. In Q1 2014, the labor force grew slightly, but overall trend is still relatively flat. The Q1 2014 labor force is 0.3% larger than it was in Q1 of 2013 and 0.4% larger than in Q1 of 2012. Slightly better than usual, but not enough for an upward trend.

Health Care
Health care job postings in Region 9 have increase by nearly 1,000 since Q1 2013 but only by about 120 since last quarter.
In general, the region has seen a very small increasing trend in health care job postings. Much of the 2011-2013 was flat until a spike in Q2 2013. While the postings have not reached this level in the past 2 quarters, the posting level has remained about 2,000, a marked increase from the average level of about 1,600 in previous years.

Retail and Hospitality Top Postings
Retail & Hospitality
Retail and hospitality job postings dominate the clusters WIN researchers examine for Region 9. With nearly a 1,000 posting increase between Q4 2013 and Q1 2014 and almost 3,000 more in Q1 2014 than in Q1 2013, this is also the fastest growing cluster.
Similar to several other clusters, posting behavior was relatively flat throughout most of 2011-2013 with a huge surge in Q3 2013. Posting behavior has remained high and we project that postings will continue to increase.

Agriculture
Agriculture is a new cluster that WIN’s researchers have added to the Region 9 analysis. Posting behavior among employers does not seem to become a popular mechanism for finding workers yet (employment changes in agriculture are seasonal and exhibit much higher growth than the posting above indicate).
Despite the low level of postings, we do see growth in posting behavior with nearly 200 more postings in Q1 2014 than in Q4 2013 and more than double the postings in Q1 2014 than in Q1 2013.

Summary
Labor Market and Job Demand Summary• Employment in Region 9 has been slowly increasing since the trough in late
2010-early 2011. During Q1 2014, employment fell slightly but has grown compared to Q1 in 2013 (0.7% growth) and since Q1 2012 (2.0% growth).
• Q1 employment tends to be lower than other quarters during the year and 2014 seems to starting off on the same trend.
• While employment has grown, the labor force has been stagnant. In Q1 2014, the labor force grew slightly, but overall trend is still relatively flat. The Q1 2014 labor force is 0.3% larger than it was in Q1 of 2013 and 0.4% larger than in Q1 of 2012. Slightly better than usual, but not enough for an upward trend.
• Officially, the unemployment rate is declining. This decline however, is partially due to the fact that our labor force is no longer as large as it once was, not necessarily because the region added significantly more jobs.
Summary
Labor Market and Job Demand Summary• Employer online job postings in Region 9 increased by nearly 3,000 between Q4
2013 and Q1 2014. Historically, Q1 postings tend to be about 1,000 to 2,000 higher than Q4.
• Retail and hospitality cluster jobs dominate this region’s job postings together making up 37% of all postings in the 6-county area.
• Postings in all clusters increased between Q4 2013 and Q1 2014. Postings are also higher in all clusters since Q1 2013 one year ago.
• The agriculture and engineers & designers cluster have had steady increases in postings since 2011.
• The IT, health care, skilled trades, and retail & hospitality clusters have had relatively flat trends in postings from 2011-2013. Mid-2013 these clusters saw a marked increase in postings, a trend that continues through Q1 2014.
• WIN expects that postings in Q2 2014 will increase in all clusters. The data show that Q1 postings, while high, tend to be slightly lower than Q2 postings. Look for an increase in postings in Q2 2014.

DATA NOTES AND SOURCESSection three
Special data notes• Quarterly reports: Due to a data update in Burning Glass
Technologies’ Labor Insight tool, comparisons should not be made between data from each quarterly report.
• Adjustments to the labor force information were also made to reflect and incorporate updated inputs, re-estimation, and controlling to new statewide totals. More information can be found here: http://www.bls.gov/lau/launews1.htm
• All numbers included in this report are the correct and updated data.• Wage and educational attainment data available varies depending on
the occupation. Some occupations with a detailed 8-digit code do not have specific wage and educational attainment data available. In this case, we show the data for the 6-digit code that aligns with the 8-digit to get a closest match.
Understanding clusters• Rather than focusing on talent demand within industries (types of firms),
WIN generally emphasizes exploring talent demand based on occupations, including the skills, educational credentials, and experience needed to work in them.
• WIN research examines industry data, as the health of companies can be useful for economic development purposes. However, shifting focus from industry to occupation is important as different types of occupations with extremely different skillsets may work within and across industries. For example, accountants, computer specialists, and engineers all may work in the manufacturing industry.
• By clustering occupations, the talent system can identify employer demand for particular skillsets across multiple industry types and develop a response through training and pipeline development to meet that demand.
Data notes and sources
Understanding demand vs. employment
• Employment refers to actual employment numbers—the number of people in jobs—in targeted industries or occupations.
• Demand refers to statistics derived from employer job postings, which indicate the potential for employment but may or may not materialize into actual jobs.
Data notes and sources
Data sourcesLabor market demand data for this report was compiled using Burning Glass Technologies’ Labor Insight Tool, and analyzed by the Workforce Intelligence Network. Other data sources include, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and Economic Modeling Specialists Inc. (EMSI). Check out our website http://www.win-semich.org for more data and detailed information about our sources.
Due to changes in Burning Glass’s aggregation and deduplication method implemented on July 1, 2013, posting counts for Q3 of 2013 and forward are not directly comparable to those prior to that date.
