6 Labor Market Information (LMI) and the WID Labor Market Information Data relating to workforce development generally used by labor market and economic analysts; additionally, by job seekers, workforce development groups, employers, and recruiters. But what kind of data is it? Building permits Occupational employment Census data projections Current employment statistics Population data Commuting patterns Postsecondary school programs, Consumer Price Index and program completers Employers Property values Income Quarterly Workforce Indicators Industry employment projections Retail sales Industry employment and wages Tax revenues Job vacancies Unemployment insurance claims Local Area Unemployment Statistics Wage data 6

7 Workforce Information Database Workforce Information Database (WID 2.7) The largest repository of workforce information, federal labor reporting, and economic data for the United States Developed by the Analyst Resource Center (ARC), a cooperative effort between the US Department of Labor (DOL), the National Crosswalk Service Center (NCSC), the Employment and Training Administration (ETS), and several states 7

8 Workforce Information Database Workforce Information Database (WID 2.7) A highly normalized, relational database structure with more than 200 lookup, data, crosswalk, and administrative tables Designed for storing, manipulating, and displaying workforce, economic, demographic and related information Common, standardized structure Allows for greater uniformity across multiple, dynamic datasets 8
