Communities must now look beyond unemployment rates to demonstrate that they can staff new facilities

Taimerica's founder has assisted communities evaluate their labor force and training facilities since his first study in 1978.  With operational experience in 4 states and 3 countries, we have a large tool kit of ideas to improve your labor force.

Assisting Workforce Boards with Occupational Forecasting Strategies

The pace of economic change has compressed the time available to execute workforce development.  Taimerica has developed a methodology to assist workforce training boards and community colleges identify occupations that are strategic to the growth of local industry clusters.  Our database of occupations and wages in 334 metro areas allows us to determine a community's national rankings in terms of prevailing wages for benchmark occupations and the share of an occupation.  Click below for an example from a recent project.

Representative Projects Include:

• Occupation forecasting
• confidential employer interviews
• statistical assessments
• competitor community comparisons
• underemployment surveys
