Labor Market Reports

Labor Market Supply and Demand Analytics

These reports are designed to provide a deeper understanding of the labor market supply and demand trends—in the Chicagoland region, Illinois and the nation. The insights can foster thinking for curriculum, program, process and policy development—providing relevance throughout the Dominican community. Our intention in OIE is to encourage the use of data like these for program improvement, program development, student support/advising and institutional planning/strategic thinking.

Please reach out to OIE if you would like a more customized version of one the reports posted here. We may be able to provide a more tailored view into the data using the wide variety of filtering options available through these data sources. These include: scope of the region (zip code, county, city, state, etc.), CIP (major/program codes), degree level, occupational codes/groupings, time period, companies/industries, skill sets, etc.
