Uchumi Umeishaview Ripoti

This report provides valuable, high-level perspective on your region’s economic data and contains down-loadable tables and graphics that will help you illustrate your story for greater impact.
Fuata maagizo hapa chini ili kuona jinsi ya kupata data muhimu ya kikanda ikijumuisha:

• Overall economic factors
• Labor force breakdown of the population
• Population characteristics such as age, veteran status, diversity, and crime data
• In-demand skills for your selected region, allowing you to highlight the importance of local workforce programs that align with what employers need.

1. From the “Region” menu on the left, choose the “Economy Overview”
   Ripoti hii inajumuisha aina mbalimbali za pointi za data kwa eneo ulilochagua.
2. Chagua eneo lako
   Unaweza kuweka chaguo lako kwenye majina ya maeneo yaliyowekwa mapema au vikundi vya eneo, au kulingana na mambo kama vile muda wa kuendesha gari na eneo kutoka kwa anwani mahususi.
3. Start exploring the data
   Uchumi Umeishaview report will show you a simple summary of the region’s Population, Total Regional Employment, and Median Household Income. Depending on your level of access, you can also choose to compare the basic data points of your region to additional regions such as counties, zip codes, cities, MSAs, and majimbo.CASE STUDY: Employ Prince George’s Jifunze jinsi zana ya Wasanidi Programu wa Lightcast iliwezesha Kuajiri Prince George na data sahihi ya:
   • Secure $6M annually in local workforce funding
   • Double the number of residents served
   • Quadruple business engagement across the region
4. Review Mgawanyiko wa Nguvu Kazi
   Uchanganuzi wa Nguvu Kazi hutoa data ya kipekee kuhusu nani anashiriki katika nguvu kazi ya eneo lako na hali yao ya ajira ni nini.
5. Understand population characteristics
   Data hii hutoa uangalizi wa karibu wa baadhi ya data ya demografia, hali ya mashujaa na uhalifu katika eneo lako, na inalinganisha eneo lako na Marekani kwa ujumla.
6. Identify in-demand skills
   Drawn from our Job Posting Analytics data, skill demand is crucial for understanding and demonstrating what your local employers need. Demand for specific skills highlights the importance of local workforce pro-grams that align with job openings that need to be filled. (Note: For an even more granular approach to this data, our other Job Posting Reports show not only what skills are currently in-demand, but also which new skills are emerging in job postings within the region that a work-force board may want to prepare for.)

Ramani ya Viashiria vya Jumuiya

This report presents the American Community Sur-vey (ACS) data in an easy-to-understand format. The map graphic allows you to tell the story of your county, MSA, or state with greater visual impact.

1. From the home screen, select “Region” on the left side, then “Community Indicator Map” from the menu.
   Once you have selected the map, select the region you are interested in. You can also select Economic, Social, or Housing characteristics to look from. If you are un- sure, select “Custom Data Selection” and run the report.
2. Choose your data points to map
   Sehemu za data kwenye eneo ambalo umechagua ni pamoja na Idadi ya Watu Walemavu, Wastani wa Ukubwa wa Kaya, Idadi ya Watu Mashujaa, hali ya mapato na zaidi. Ili kubinafsisha pointi za data, chagua kitufe cha "Ongeza/Ondoa Safu". Inaleta menyu ya Uteuzi wa Data Maalum. Huko utapata pointi zote za data zinazopatikana. Zinaangukia chini ya kategoria: Tabia za Makazi, Kijamii na Kiuchumi. Pia unaweza kubadilisha eneo kutoka Jimbo au Kata hadi MSA. Unaweza kubofya kila vichwa vya safu wima ili kuonyesha sehemu hiyo ya data kwenye ramani na kupanga kulingana na safu wima hiyo kwenye jedwali lililo chini ya ramani. Hii inaunda mwonekano maalum wa data ili ujumuishe katika ombi lako la ruzuku.

Picha ya Sekta ya Urithi

When external factors—like policy changes, health crises, natural disasters, and more—cause major disrup-ions, this report helps you assess impacted industries in your region, as well as the staffing patterns, supply chains, and other factors affecting these industries.

1. Click the “Industry” tab in the menu on the left-hand side, and select “Legacy Industry Snapshot.”
   Ongeza tasnia na chaguo za eneo kwenye utafutaji wako. Katika hii example, we are looking at “Aerospace Product and Parts Manufacturing” in the Greensboro, NC, metro area. Once you have added your search metrics, hit “Run.” (Note: “Industry Snapshot” is a separate report and includes slightly different visuals and links from the ones we’ve highlighted here.)
2. Refine your search and export the data.
   Kuanzia hapa, unaweza kubadilisha muda wako, kusasisha darasa lako la mfanyakazi, na kuhamisha ripoti nzima au klipu zake tu.
3. Select data visuals to maximize impact.
   Using the charts in the Industry Snapshot can help strengthen an application that may have a page limit. All reports in Developer include downloadable images to streamline your grant application. All images come with a Lightcast citation. The ability to add other regions to compare to yours within the report can also make an impact when showing how your region is growing or impacted by job loss.
4. Explore the data, and dig deeper with the “jump to” feature.
   Muhtasari wa Sekta ya Urithi unajumuisha uchanganuzi wa Pato la Kanda, na kiungo cha "kuruka" hadi kwenye tano bora za msururu wa usambazaji wa sekta iliyochaguliwa. Utapata pia orodha ya kazi tano bora zinazoajiriwa na sekta katika eneo lako, ambayo hutoa kiungo cha "kuruka" kwa mifumo ya utumishi.
5. Top businesses and industry demographics
   Wale wanaovutiwa na demografia ya tasnia wanaweza kujua ni vikundi vipi vya watu vinafanya kazi katika tasnia na eneo lililochaguliwa. Na watumiaji wanaojiandikisha kwa Orodha ya Biashara (inayoendeshwa na Hifadhidata ya USA) wanaweza kutambua biashara tano kubwa zaidi kwenye tasnia.

Ramani ya Kazi

Ramani ya Kazi inatoa pointi za data za kina, zinazoweza kupangwa katika umbizo la jedwali lakini pia hukuruhusu kuibua kila sehemu ya data kwenye ramani ya eneo ambayo unaweza kubinafsisha kwa urahisi. Kwa uandishi wa ruzuku, taswira ya ramani inaweza kuwa ya manufaa kwa kuonyesha vipengele muhimu kama vile nambari za kazi, ukuaji wa kazi, data ya wasafiri na eneo la kazi.

1. Select “Occupation” from the menu on the left, then choose the Occupation Map.
   Kutoka hapo, unaweza kuchagua vipimo vyako. Kitendaji cha "Vinjari" kitakuruhusu kuangalia data ya kazi nyingi katika kitengo kimoja, kama vile kikundi cha "Blue Collar" kilichoonyeshwa katika ex hii.ample. Unaweza pia kuingiza eneo lako wewe mwenyewe, kuvinjari maeneo, au kuchagua moja kulingana na Muda wa Hifadhi, Radius kutoka Anwani, au kikundi kingine kilichowekwa mapema.
2. Refine your map and update the data parameters.
   Once the map has loaded, use the drop-down menu to select the region by MSA, county, census tract, or zip code to tell your story. On the left side, you can also ad-just the occupations you want to look at, the region you want to explore, your time frames, and your worker class. Like most Lightcast reports, you can use the Add/Re-move Columns button to change the selected metrics.
3. Update the map to visualize the data you choose.
   When you click on the column header, the map will vi-sualize the data from that column. The eye dropper icon will also colorize the column as a heat map. The map can be customized to make it easier to see and read by se-lecting the layer mark on the top right corner of the map. In the example shown here, the column titled “2024 Net Commuters” is selected. This data shows where workers live and work. The blue areas indicate more jobs than res-idents while the red indicates more residents than jobs.

Ripoti ya Uhamisho wa Ujuzi

Ripoti ya Uhamisho wa Ujuzi inaafikiana kikamilifu na miongozo ya Idara ya Kazi na inatoa:

• High-level occupational data, such as wages and job growth in your region,
• Data on the skills, occupations, and abilities associated with a selected occupation
• Additional occupations that align with the skills in the selected occupation, so you can help your workforce move into high-demand jobs that use—or build on—the skills they already have.

1. Select “Occupation” from the menu on the left, then choose the “Skills Transferability.”
   From there, you can select your region and the occupation you wish to explore.
2. Explore occupation insights and skills-adjecent roles
   Kwanza, pata ufahamu wa mishahara ya kazi uliyochagua, ukuaji wa kazi, mahitaji ya elimu, n.k. Kisha ubofye hadi kwenye jedwali la uhamishaji wa ujuzi ili kugundua ni kazi zipi zingine zinazolingana kwa karibu zaidi na ujuzi katika kazi uliyochagua. Unaweza kubofya kila moja ya haya ili kuona kazi sawaview.
3. See the top competencies associated with your selected occupation
   Ndani ya ripoti kuu ya Uhamisho wa Ujuzi, tembeza chini ili kuona ni maarifa, ujuzi, na uwezo gani unaohusishwa zaidi na kazi hiyo.

Ripoti ya Hali ya Athari
This report reveals deep insights into the regional economic impact of job creation, as well as the cost of an unfilled job—not only in a selected industry but also on the supply chain and the greater community. With this re-port, you can explore the direct, indirect, and multiplied impact on jobs, earnings, and taxes in the region, as well as the occupations that are most likely to be affected.

Lightcast’s Impact Scenario is the best tool for demonstrating and projecting workforce impact I’ve ever seen. Nobody else has anything close. I’ve used it for 21 years, and I can’t do without it.
I have literally saved companies and won grants and investments in community infra-structure with just this tool. It alone is worth the price of the software. It’s Lightcast’s most valuable workforce secret.

CONNIE SHARP, Director of Membership National Association of Workforce Boards

1. Select the Input-Output tab from the menu on the left.
   Choose “Impact Scenario” from the list of reports. Then add your region and a 6-digit industry (or group of industries). You can then model the impact to jobs, earn-ings, or sales using the drop down by the industry name. Then, input the change to the “Change” box by either adding or subtracting the unit you wish to model. Then hit run. In this exampna tunatumia Seattle-Tacoma, WA, MSA na mabadiliko ya kazi katika tasnia nne zinazohusiana na teknolojia.
2. Angalia zaidiview ya athari zilizotarajiwa
   Ukiwa kwenye ripoti utaweza kutathmini mabadiliko katika mapato, mauzo na kodi kwa kila sekta iliyochaguliwa. Unaweza pia kufanya marekebisho kwa tarehe, eneo, au sekta uliyochagua au uchague aikoni zozote za "+" kwa uchanganuzi wa kina zaidi wa athari zilizoonyeshwa.
3. View a detailed breakdown of each impact by category
   From the previous screen, you can click on any of the categories to see the breakdown of how those impacts are expected to occur based on the changes you selected. By clicking “Show Job Distribution” on the bot-tom right corner or the report, you can also see what industries, occupations, and demographics will be affected by the change.

TUMIA KESI

Second-Chance Occupations
Sheria ya Nafasi ya Pili inaidhinisha ruzuku za serikali kwa programu zinazosaidia katika kuchukua hatua za kuingia tena katika kikosi kazi kutoka kwa mfumo wa haki. Msanidi programu anaweza kukusaidia kutambua na kutafiti kazi zilizo na fursa nyingi za nafasi ya pili.
Katika Msanidi Programu, tumia Kikundi cha Kazi kinachoitwa "Nafasi ya Pili (SOC 2021)" ili kutambua kwa haraka kazi ambazo zinaelekea kuwa rafiki kuingia tena.
Kutumia kikundi hiki cha kazi katika ripoti kama vile Jedwali la Kazi kunaweza kusaidia kutambua kazi zinazohitajika sana ambazo zina uwezekano mkubwa wa kuwapa wanaotafuta kazi mwanzo mpya katika kazi.
