30 | ## How do we calculate demand and supply?
## Demand
How many potential jobs exist for apprentices in a given occupation in our region?
New Demand Measure, or the average of total number of jobs for each occupation across three data sets…
- · 2020 projections from openings and replacement (OES)
- · 2026 projections from openings and replacement (OES)
- · New data source: Burning Glass 12-month job postings (2019)
NOTE TO DATA USERS: Beginning with this data package, Burning Glass is used to measure advertised online postings, replacing Help Wanted Online as the third component of indexed demand.
Note that this substitution may be responsible for some of the variance between indexed demand as calculated in the original and updated data packages. Direct value comparisons of the occupational demand measures, STAR rankings, and supply gap ratios should be limited.
## Supply
How many apprentices are qualified to work in these occupations?
Total currently enrolled apprentices…
- · Division of Apprentice Standards, 2019
...minus the fraction of total occupation employment assumed to be made up of apprentices
- · Bureau of Labor Statistics short-term projections (OES) - 2018 employment base
Total Number of Apprentices
Total 2018 Employment in Apprentice Trades

31 | ## State Supply Gap Overview: Apprenticeships

34 | ## Top 15 Occupations by DPL Professional Licensing
A majority of the top occupations in Greater Boston by number of Division of Professional Licensure licenses are 4- or 5-star occupations.

This analysis is not inclusive of occupations licensed by agencies other than the Division of Professional Licensure. Licenses must have been issued between 2000 and 2019, and not be expired as of 2019. | 2019 Greater Boston Data Package |
35 | ## Regional Occupation Demand and DPL Licensing
Comparing the number of license holders with total occupational employment offers another indicator of skill shortages or surpluses in occupational labor markets. While the number of professional licenses greatly exceeds total employment for some occupations, such as Cosmetologists, for others, such as Mental Health Counselors, the number of jobs (2,117) outstrips the supply of licenses (1,746).

37 | ## Dynamic Data Tools
As an extension of the data package update, a set of new dynamic data tools have been developed to support regional planning work.
These tools are intended to act as a resource for your teams to compare data across regions and generate insights beyond the analysis in this data package, with respect to five different areas:
- 1. Licensure
- 2. Apprenticeships
- 3. Regional Sector Makeup
- 4. Educational Attainment and Employment
- 5. Worker Characteristics | 2019 Greater Boston Data Package |

97 | ## Standard Occupational Classification (SOC)
The 2018 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system is used by federal statistical agencies to classify workers and jobs into occupational categories for the purpose of collecting, calculating, analyzing, or disseminating data.
To facilitate classification and presentation of data, the SOC is organized into a tiered system with four levels: major group, minor group, broad occupation, and detailed occupation. The 23 major groups (below) are broken into minor groups, which, in turn, are divided into broad occupations. At the highest level of specification, there are 867 detailed occupations with unique SOC codes.

99 | ## North American Industry Classification System (NAICS)
The 2017 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is an industry classification system that groups establishments into industries based on the similarity of their production processes. It is a comprehensive system covering all economic activities. There are 20 sectors and 1,057 industries in 2017 NAICS United States.
NAICS uses a six-digit coding system to identify particular industries and their placement in this hierarchical structure of the classification system. The first two digits of the code designate the sector, the third digit designates the subsector, the fourth digit designates the industry group, the fifth digit designates the NAICS industry, and the sixth digit designates the national industry.
The NAICS sectors and their two-digit codes are:

Which occupations are likely to not have enough talent to meet employer demand? | 2019 Berkshire Data Package |
23 | ## How do we calculate a supply gap ratio?
Supply Gap Ratio = Projected Qualified Individuals Per Opening
- · Supply Gap Ratio is a proxy measure for understanding what occupations are likely to not have enough talent to meet employer demand.
- · Supply / Demand = Supply Gap Ratio
- · 100 qualified individuals / 50 potential openings = supply gap ratio of 2
- · 2 qualified individuals per opening (More supply than demand)
- · 6 qualified individuals / 12 potential openings = supply gap ratio of 0.5
- · 0.5 qualified individuals per opening (Less supply than demand) | 2019 Berkshire Data Package |
