  36. Using Data to Drive Decision-Making CC photo credit: fragmented

  37. Data-Driven Decision Making • Sector initiatives need a deep understanding of industries, occupations, workers, and regional labor markets • States play a key part in collecting and providing data to regions, and establishing guidelines for data use

  38. State Roles • States are both data users and data producers • As data users, states use may data to: • identify target industries or occupations for the state, • determine funding regions • evaluate regional applications for funding • The state’s role as data producer is critical to regional sector initiatives both pre- and post-funding, as they seek to better understand and engage with their target industries

  39. State Roles • Using data to specify target industries and occupations for the state as a whole • PA identified nine sectors and priority occupations within them • NC targeted allied health care as the state’s initial sector of focus • Providing data and analysis on specific industries statewide • OK produced detailed reports about the Aerospace and Health Care industries • CO produced guidebooks to five of the state’s key industries to be used by sector intermediaries

  40. State Roles • Providing data to regions to identify target industries and occupations • MI provided each workforce investment area with a regional profile for industry targetingto aid the regions in identifying their target industries • CO produced an industry targeting report for each MSA in the state and a guide on how to access and use the state’s LMI website to obtain data for industry targeting

  41. State Roles • Customizing data offerings to accommodate unusual geographic or industry clusters • KS & MO collaborated on an industry profile for a joint WIRED region • OR built a custom website for its WIRED region which includes data reports for each targeted industry cluster • Providing regional labor market analysts to assist regions • MN has funded six regional labor market analyst positions to provide regions with accessible expertise, analysis services, training, and presentations on LMI
