This report highlights labor market information and real-time job posting data for Genesee and Shiawassee counties. A workforce overview is provided within, identifying key components of the area’s labor market including labor force status, demographic, and commuting data. WIN’s analysis of online job postings, a proxy for employer demand, is a pioneering method for tracking the health of the labor market. This data is used to provide a real-time demand overview, detailing posting related findings for both employers and job seekers. WIN’s data and research team analyzes job posting data at the occupation level within eleven customized occupation groups built using specific Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) codes to provide more contextualized information. Occupation groups combine data for jobs with similar skillsets, educational attainment, and experience requirements, which provides a more in-depth snapshot of the current labor market when compared to traditional industry data based upon North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes. Occupation outlook sections utilize these metrics to identify and display the top in-demand jobs, their entry requirements, and their earning potential. WIN produces a 16-county region report quarterly using data from all eleven occupation groups. A report focused on the city of Detroit is also produced quarterly, focusing on five occupation groups related to Detroit’s labor market.
