24 | ## How do we calculate demand and supply?
## Demand
## Supply
How many potential job openings do we expect for a given occupation?
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.
How many qualified individuals do we potentially have available to fill a relevant job opening?
Sum of available workers or graduates related to an occupation from multiple data sets…
- · Unique UI claims, 2018 (DUA)
- · Relevant completer data
- · Voc-Tech completers, 2015-2017 average (DESE), 50% available*
- · Community College completers, 2015-2017 average (DHE), 90% available
- · State University completers, 2015-2017 average (DHE), 71% available
- · Private University completers, 2015-2017 average (iPEDS), 55% available
*All retention figures are statewide, studies cited in Data Tool **Occupations requiring post-secondary education only | 2019 Berkshire Data Package |
25 | ## More Openings than Qualified: Regional Sub-BA Occupations, 3+ Stars

## 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)
How many apprentices are qualified to work in these occupations?
Total currently enrolled apprentices…

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 Berkshire Data Package |
36 | ## 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 exceeds total employment for some occupations, such as Cosmetologists, for others, such as Educational Psychologists, the number of jobs (167) outstrips the supply of licenses (53).

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 Berkshire Data Package |

40 | ## Discussion Questions
- · How does this data inform your ongoing work to support regional priority industry and occupations?
- · How can you act on this data to accelerate your blueprint priorities?
- · This year, we're asking regional teams to develop an "update" to their blueprints. With this data in mind, what might be important to include in your update? | 2019 Berkshire Data Package |

86 | ## 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.
| Code | Title | Code | Title |
|---------|------------------------------------------------------------|---------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| 11-0000 | Management Occupations | 35-0000 | Food Preparation and Serving Related Occupations |
| 13-0000 | Business and Financial Operations Occupations | 37-0000 | Building and Grounds Cleaning and Maintenance Occupations |
| 15-0000 | Computer and Mathematical Occupations | 39-0000 | Personal Care and Service Occupations |
| 17-0000 | Architecture and Engineering Occupations | 41-0000 | Sales and Related Occupations |

A complete description of SOC codes, titles and definitions can be found at www.bls.gov/soc/ | 2019 Berkshire Data Package |
87 | ## Standard Occupational Classification (SOC)
Each item in the 2018 SOC is designated by a six-digit code.
- · Major group codes end with 0000 (e.g., 29-0000 Healthcare Practitioners and Technical Occupations).
- · Minor groups generally end with 000 (e.g., 29-1000 Health Diagnosing or Treating Practitioners)-the exceptions are minor groups 15-1200 Computer Occupations, 31-1100 Home Health and Personal Care Aides; and Nursing Assistants, Orderlies, and Psychiatric Aides, and 51-5100 Printing Workers, which end with 00.
- · Broad occupations end with 0 (e.g., 29-1020 Dentists).
- · Detailed occupations end with a number other than 0 (e.g., 29-1022 Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons).

88 | ## 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:

27 | ## Part III: Supply Gap Analysis
Which occupations are likely to not have enough talent to meet employer demand? | 2019 Pioneer Valley Data Package |
28 | ## 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 Pioneer Valley Data Package |
29 | ## How do we calculate demand and supply?
## Demand
## Supply
How many potential job openings do we expect for a given occupation?
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.
How many qualified individuals do we potentially have available to fill a relevant job opening?
Sum of available workers or graduates related to an occupation from multiple data sets…
- · Unique UI claims, 2018 (DUA)
- · Relevant completer data
- · Voc-Tech completers, 2015-2017 average (DESE), 50% available*
- · Community College completers, 2015-2017 average (DHE), 90% available
- · State University completers, 2015-2017 average (DHE), 71% available
- · Private University completers, 2015-2017 average (iPEDS), 55% available
