About Employment Projections
Publications present projections of industry and occupational employment,
projected annual job openings, average wages, and education or training level
for each occupation. The statewide data for Ohio also includes labor force size
by age and gender. Projections are available for Ohio, twelve
Economic Development Regions
and eight large metropolitan areas
.

Note: Projections of occupational growth for all state and the national as
a whole are available at State
Occupational Projections.
Data Source
Projections are developed from a variety of data sources, including:
- U.S. Department of Labor's
Current Population Survey for labor
force data.
- Current Employment Statistics (CES
or ES790), a federal-state program that gathers data on employment and earnings
in goods-producing and service-producing industries in Ohio and selected metropolitan
areas.
- Quarterly Census of Employment & Wages (QCEW
or ES-202), a federal- state program that summarizes employment, wage and
contribution data from employers subject to state unemployment laws, as well
as workers covered by unemployment compensation for federal employees.
- The Occupational Employment Statistics (OES),
a federal-state program that provides occupational employment and wage data
for wage and salary workers in nonfarm establishments. All industries are
surveyed except private households, agricultural production, forestry, fishing,
the military, self-employed and unpaid family workers.
- National projections developed by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics.
Level of Detail
- Industry projections use the North American Industry Classification System
(NAICS).
- Occupational projections use categories defined in the Occupational Employment
Statistics (OES) survey and use Standard Occupational
Classification (SOC) codes.
Frequency
Updated biennially.
Uses
Labor Market Projections are used primarily for planning education & training
programs and for career counseling.
Limitations
As with all forecasts and projections, Labor Market Projections are subject
to error, especially if events negate underlying assumptions. Generally, relative
error increases with smaller industries, occupations and areas.
