Introduction: Hillsdale and Lenawee Counties
Key Findings: State of the Labor Market in the Hillsdale and Lenawee Counties Online job postings for occupations related to Agriculture decreased in Q2 2016 after the largest increase in postings in Q1 2016. While the Agriculture group saw a 300% increase in job postings from Q4 2015 to Q1 2016, the group saw a 36% decrease in postings in Q2 2016. Employment, yet, experienced steady growth, with both of these metrics reaching their highest points within recent years. See page 6 for more details. The Business and Finance occupation group experienced stability in not only employment but also online job ad numbers. After seeing a rapid decline in employment after 2011 with a large plunge around 2008, the Business and Finance group has seen employment stabilize around 900 workers. The number of online job postings has also remained relatively stable since Q3 2015. See page 11 for more details. The Health Care occupation group saw steady decline in online job ads the past three quarters. There were 351, 279, and 199 postings in Q4 2015, Q1 2016, and Q2 2016, respectively. On average, there was a 25% decrease in each of the quarters. See page 16 for more details. Employers hiring the Skilled Trades occupations looked for individuals with mathematics knowledge and skills. Skills in mathematics were emphasized in Q2 2016. While “mathematics� did not appear in any the top five skills lists in Q1 2016, they appeared in both technical in-demand skills list and foundational in-demand skills list in Q2 2016. See page 24 for more details. A majority of job postings desired 0 to 5 years of experience in Q2 2016 as in Q1 2016. Within the five occupation groups analyzed by WIN for Hillsdale and Lenawee counties, a large majority of employers expressed interest in individuals with 0 to 5 years of experience. This would indicate a desire for entry-level workers likely to be able to find opportunities for advancement within the companies that hire them. See pages 8, 13, 18, 23, and 28 for more details.
