Hinweis der Redaktion
Picture doesn’t look promising for MW and southern region. Indiana and neighboring states all above 10% unemployment.
Good news? Rate of increase may be slowing? Indiana’s picture also shows relative good position we were in as compared to our neighbors one year ago.
IN, MI nad OH all facing severe layoffs in Auto Industry – however, we did not see as great a decline in finance, and we did not have the same housing bust as our neighbors in Chicago, and other larger cities in OH. First saw the signs last spring. Other reasons for optimism – Indiana has been working to diversify employment sectors – we have more foreign auto –makers, and emerging life science industries. (More on employment growth in those industries later)
Slowing decline, various predictions about rate of “recovery” most assume it will be modest. Beginning with ramping up of construction jobs, and then when consumer confidence continues to rise we will see more of an impact.
Preditions for Indiana – see actualy income growth in 2nd 3rd qtr 2010
Current Employment Statistics – tells us Industry composition is changing and which industries are experiencing growth – Manufacturing use to be 19 o 20% of employment – that is on the decline, yet remains a large % of IN employment and jobs are still in demand in advanced manufacturing, engineering, and STEM. while Educ and Health is growing. Also TTU. Indpls is becoming a location for transportation and logistics. Over the year – during the recession – Educ, Health, and Leisure and Hospitality only large sectors with growth. This includes a lot of Indiana new gamning and casinos.
Other Services includes such diverse business sectors as repair & maintenance, personal & laundry services (e.g. barber&beauty shops, funeral homes & cemeteries, parking lots, dog walkers, etc. etc. etc.) and religious, grantmaking, civic & professional organizations.
Where the jobs are – MSAs - More potential “good news” Continuing Rebound in Indpls MSA - Ad rates are the number of advertised vacancies as a percent of the BLS civilian labor force data for a geographic area. Ad rates represent the number of ads per 100 participants in the civilian labor force. All areas had a sharp drop in January 2009 – Indianapolis has shown an increase each month since April and Indiana has done the same since May.
Here are the technical notes for Help Wanted Online (HWOL). http://www.conference-board.org/pdf_free/HWOnLineSept08_TN.pdf.
# 11 in list of 25 = Hamilton County, IN
Forbes List
Job growth (2000-2008): 56.8%
HWOL is a monthly measure of labor demand using advertised job vacancies at the national, regional, state, metropolitan areas.
The Conference Board began the HWOL data series in July 2005 and it replaces the Help Wanted Advertising Index of newspaper print advertising.
The HWOL covers the full universe of online advertised job vacancies which are posted directly on internet job boards or through newspaper online ads.
Online ads from over 1200 job boards in the U.S. are collected and the data reflect unduplicated ads.
HWOL is a universe count and is not subject to sampling error found in statistical surveys.

To give you a little background on DWD career planning tools – based on research on importance and transferability of skills -
The O*NET program is the nation's primary source of occupational information. Central to the project is the O*NET database, containing information on hundreds of standardized and occupation-specific descriptors. The database, which is available to the public at no cost, is continually updated by surveying a broad range of workers from each occupation. Information from this database forms the heart of O*NET OnLine, an interactive application for exploring and searching occupations. The database also provides the basis for our Career Exploration Tools, a set of valuable assessment instruments for workers and students looking to find or change careers
Originally designed with dislocated and incumbent workers in mind – we would like to continue to build on this concept of skill transferability, and the importance of basic skill development combined with higher education. Also illustration of how job experience – internships can build skills and assist job seekers on their career pathways to success. Listed in this career guide are all High Wage and High Demand occupations projected over the next decade for Indiana – and the skills, and educational requirements for success.
The 2009 Hoosier Hot 50 Jobs is a list of High Wage growth occupations in Indiana, ranked according to a single index of 7 weighted occupational measures of growth and opportunity for Hoosier workers now and into the future.

Indiana 2007 OES Occupational Median Wages
(New!) Regional Hoosier Hot 50 Jobs
High-Wage, High-Demand Occupations are a larger set of occupations with wages at or above the median wage for all occupations, and are expected to produce a large number of job openings during the 2006-2016 time period. Those job openings may occur due to occupational job growth and/or due to replacement needs within the occupation.

Indiana Career Connect-Indiana Department of Workforce Development’s new job matching system.
ICC is just one of many services that is provided by WorkOne.
WorkOne is the part of our agency with direct community involvement. We have over 90 offices throughout the state, with at least one in almost all the counties
The WorkOne Brand promise to individuals is that everyone has the:
Right to know their skills, improve their skills, and get the best job for their skills.
We help people know their skills by offering many assessment tools, and requiring that everyone take a brief minimal assessment so that we can help them identify general weak areas. (example 20 years on a job and haven’t taken a math test or done an interview)
Finally we help people find work through our job assistance services and system. This is done directly with clients via our WorkOne staff and is also offered as a self service to clients via Indiana Career Connect.
WorkOne also provides valuable services to Employers. In fact, the leaders in our WorkOne offices all tell me that Employers are their most important customers.
Our services to employers starts with having a large applicant pool available at your fingertips. By knowing the individuals in our applicant bank, we can improve the candidates who are referred to you. This is our minimum level service which leaves many of the hiring activities as the employers obligation.
Therefore, we also offer more thorough services to employers by helping them selecting and screening candidates. We can complete custom testing of all applicants and/or preliminary interviewing of applicants so that the employer can reduce the amount of time spent finding qualified candidates. We can also more thoroughly partner with an employer with our WorkKeys program which analyzes the skill requirements of a position and then screens applicants based on these skill requirements (so that a inadequate candidate does not get referred). All of these services are designed to make employers more efficient.
Finally, we have some opportunities for training programs available to companies. There are training grants available from the state and then our offices also offer some basic training course which can be customized to the needs of your business.
