Labor-market evidence, assembled and cited

The labor-market section you're required to file, built from public data and cited line by line.

Werkbits pulls O*NET, BLS and state projection data into the documents programs must produce, starting with the Program Labor Market Brief for Perkins V needs assessments. Every figure traces to its source table.

Program Labor Market Brief

The labor-market section of your comprehensive local needs assessment, one program at a time: regional wages against state and national benchmarks, projected openings, related occupations, and your program's completions, each with its source.

  • Three pages per program, footnoted to BLS, O*NET, state projections and IPEDS
  • Regional figures for your service area, not a statewide average
  • Method note your review team can check

Bulk Transition Assessment

For every affected occupation, the occupations its workers most often move to, how closely the work matches, and which skills sit furthest below the new role's level. Built for the first weeks after a notice, when counselors need options fast.

  • Ranked destination occupations for each affected role
  • Skill gaps listed by size, with O*NET importance and level
  • Occupations O*NET has not rated are flagged, never guessed

How we cite

You can follow any number back to the table it came from.

Reviewers ask where a figure came from. The answer is on the page: the publisher, the table, the occupation code and the release. Where Werkbits computes something, the method note says how.

01

Public source

BLS wage statistics, state long-term projections, O*NET 31.0 and IPEDS completions, pulled at the release named in the footnote.

02

Stated computation

Comparisons and scores follow a published contract, so a second analyst gets the same result from the same inputs.

03

Line in your document

Each figure lands with its footnote, and gaps in the data are labeled as gaps.

Method

What we claim, and what we don't.

We would rather you trust fewer claims than doubt all of them.

What the evidence supports

  • Occupation similarity predicts where workers actually move: our top ten capture 36% of observed changes in the Current Population Survey, against 16% for occupation size alone.
  • Scores are deterministic and reproducible under contract s4-v1.
  • Wage and projection figures are reported as published, with their release.

What we don't claim

  • The skill-gap score measures what must be learned. It has not been validated against training time, cost or completion.
  • We do not design curriculum or tell you what to teach.
  • 13 occupations have no O*NET skill ratings; we show their work activities and say no gap estimate is possible.
