Chris Holman talks with Luke Bunge, Economic Analyst, DTMB – Bureau of Labor Market Information and Strategic Initiatives. They discuss Michigan’s labor market environment.
For a comprehensive report of Michigan’s labor market changes over the month of November, please see the Bureau of Labor Market Information and Strategic Initiatives’ (LMISI) Key Labor Market and Economic Metrics report.
In addition, Michigan’s Long-Term Unemployed study analyzes this particular portion of the state’s labor market today and over the past 15 years. This study also sheds light on which occupational categories are more associated with long-term unemployment, as well as highlighting job opportunities both today and in the future for these individuals.
Finally, for a study of employers’ current job vacancies please see the 2015 Michigan Job Vacancy Survey. This study analyzes the demand side of the state’s labor market by looking at the number and characteristics of current job vacancies offered in the second quarter of 2015. Information collected in this report could improve the workforce knowledge and decision-making of employers, policymakers, educators, and job seekers.
