GLOSSARY

43

GLOSSARY KEY TERMS LABOR MARKET INFORMATION Labor market information includes all data (both quantitative and qualitative) and analysis related to employment and the workforce (past, current, and future projections) that can help constituents make decisions and choices about education, training, and job search.

LABOR FORCE PARTICIPANTS Labor force participants include those who are employed and unemployed (those actively looking for work during the last four weeks).

OCCUPATIONS Occupations have similar job duties. Occupations (e.g. accountants) can span industries or they can be found solely in just one industry (e.g. nurses). The Standard Occupation Classification (SOC) System is a hierarchical framework and the standard used to classify occupations into categories for the purpose of collecting, calculating, or disseminating data.

REAL-TIME LABOR MARKET INFORMATION Real-time labor market information (RTLMI) describes software that scrapes online job postings daily, organizes the information into quantifiable data, and then stores this information into databases for analysis.

SEASONAL ADJUSTMENT Seasonal adjustment is a statical method that takes into account seasonal patterns that can impact employment and unemployment overall and in certain industries (e.g. retail employment typically increases during the retail holiday season and falls thereafer).

SECTORS AND INDUSTRIES Industries consist of businesses doing similar activities. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is the standard used to classify business establishments.

Not all types of jobs are equally represented online. Large employers and corporations are more likely to post jobs online. Smaller businesses are more likely to post only executive positions online. Some occupation groups, such as construction and production, are under-represented because employers use other hiring methods such as union halls or job fairs.
