Job Trends Associates is experienced producing short-term and long-term occupational employment projections for state and sub-state areas. Projections are done by detailed industry category with the new North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS), and then by detailed occupation category, using the new Standard Occupational Classification (SOC). We do the industry projections using E-views econometric software, and the Short-term Industry Projections and the Long-term Projections software developed by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. We do the occupational projections using the Estimates Delivery System and MicroMatrix Occupational Projections Software. The resulting projections are available in more than 700 occupational categories.
