Iowa Workforce Development (IWD) conducted the sixth Workforce Needs Assessment. In addition to vacancy and retirement data, the survey also addressed the demand for workers and skills required in the workforce. Data regarding benefits offered by employers was also collected and is delineated in the Employment Benefit Analysis. The results of the survey were analyzed on both a statewide and regional basis.

Beginning in July 2018, 1,509 employers operating 1,911 locations in the region were contacted either by mail or email and asked to complete the survey. By the end of the survey period (October 2018), IWD had received 664 responses, yielding a 44.0 percent response rate.

Education and experience levels required and on-the-job training for the job orders (9,700 total) within the Iowa Workforce Development job bank are shown below. These requirements are based on the typical levels needed to enter an occupation according to data reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and does not reflect expected levels indicated by survey respondents.

Employers that responded to the survey were asked their perceptions on the degree to which job applicants possessed basic, occupational and interpersonal skills.

Workforce gaps can be determined by comparing the inventory of skills needed by employers (via the Workforce Needs Assessment Survey) and those skills held by the population of workers as presented in a Laborshed analysis. This gap can then be analyzed and the necessary training and education programs can be formalized through a Skillshed analysis.

Locating Information

Basic skills are those skills developed during the elementary and middle part of an individual’s education. These skills include literacy, numeracy (the ability to do arithmetic and reason with numbers), and the abilities to locate and read for information. The Skilled Iowa initiative, through the National Career Readiness Certificate testing program, provides a means to benchmark and certify applicants’ skills in Applied Mathematics, Reading for Information and Locating Information. For more information on Skilled Iowa visit www.skillediowa.org.

P E R C E P T I O N O F A P P L I C A N T S

Basic Skills Lacking in Applicants

Occupational “hard” skills are the technical and know-how skills that apply directly to a job. In general, occupational skills include analytical skills, managerial ability, physical ability, knowledge and experience. The exact definition of these skills varies, depending on the job in question.

Occupational “Hard” Skills Lacking in Applicants

Interpersonal “Soft” Skills Lacking in Applicants

Interpersonal “soft” skills are skills associated with an individual’s habits, personality and character. Soft skills include timeliness, responsibility, integrity and self-esteem. Also included are interpersonal skills such as leadership, customer service and teamwork. Individuals with strong soft skills are, generally, well suited to working with others.

In the event that current or newly hired employees are lacking the basic, occupational or soft skills necessary to fill current job vacancies, employers were asked where they send employees to upgrade these skills. Over four-fifths (84.9%) of employers indicated that they offer employee training.

T R A I N I N G & C E R T I F I C A T E S

Where Additional Training is Offered

The time span from when a job posting opens to when it closes is referred to as the recruitment period. The figure to the left details the length of time between when a job order is opened in IWD’s job bank and when it is closed.

A mismatch in advertising outlets versus job search usage can increase recruitment time periods and cost. Information on employee job search resource usage can be found in the Statewide Laborshed report which can be found here: www.iowaworkforcedevelopment.gov/laborshed.

R E C R U I T M E N T & A DV E R T I S I N G

Job Advertising Utilization & Usefulness Understanding and utilizing job search resources will provide employers with a more focused and effective recruitment tool. Residents are exposed to numerous sources by which employers communicate job openings and new hiring. Therefore, it is important to understand what sources potential workers rely on when looking for jobs.

Employers were asked a series of questions about their plans for future payroll changes. They were asked whether they planned on increasing or decreasing the number of workers on payroll or if they planned to keep their workforce at its current strength. Questions regarding timeframe for any change, the reasons for change and jobs that would be affected by the change were also asked.

When analyzing reported workforce changes, it is important to note not only the specific reasons provided by employers but also the business and economic environment during which the employers were surveyed.

Iowa Wage Report - Iowa Workforce Development & Occupational Employment Statistics

The Iowa Wage Report, an Iowa Workforce Development program, and Occupational Employment Statistics, a Bureau of Labor Statistics program, estimate occupational employment and wages paid by employers. The wages are based on straight-time and gross pay wage estimates are updated annually using the Employment Cost Index.

The following types of pay are included in the collection of wages: base rates, commissions, cost-of-living allowances, mileage, piece rates, portal-to-portal rates and production bonuses. Also included are certain other types of pay such as: deadheading, guaranteed, hazard incentive and longevity.

The following types of pay are excluded from data collection: bonuses (attendance, holiday, stock, non-production and year-end); certain pay (back, holiday premium, jury duty, on-call, overtime, severance and weekend premium); certain allowances (clothing, tool/equipment, uniform and relocation); discounts (including merchandise discounts); draw; meal and lodging payments; prerequisites; profit-sharing payments; and shift differentials.

Definitions of terms used throughout the report:

• Average Wage - This is calculated by dividing the estimated total wage for an occupation or occupational category by its weighted employment.

• Entry Wage - This refers to the average of the lowest third of the reported wages for the occupation or occupational category.

• Experienced Wage - This refers to the average of the upper two-thirds of reported wages for the occupation or occupational category.

Iowa Workforce Development Job Bank - Iowa Workforce Development

The job order data in this report comes from Iowa Workforce Development’s IowaJobs bank (www.iowajobs.org). Job orders on IowaJobs are either entered directly by IWD staff or employers on the site or brought in from one of over 1,400 indexed employer websites. The job orders pulled for this report are those that were open at any point between November 1, 2017 and October 31, 2018.

While there are many postings for jobs outside of Iowa within the IowaJobs bank, those are removed from the data for the purposes of this report. This is accomplished by filtering out all postings with a non-Iowa ZIP code. For those postings that did not have a valid ZIP code, the city and state fields were used to remove those that were clearly for jobs outside of Iowa.

In order to remove duplicate job postings, orders with identical job titles and employer names that were entered on the same day for the same ZIP code were identified. Of those, all duplicate postings that listed more than one opening were removed from the data. Postings that list only one opening are only removed if there are more than five duplicates (duplicates are removed until only five duplicated postings remain). The reasoning behind leaving any duplicate postings with one opening in the data is that it is possible the employer had more than one position open and they chose to make more than one posting instead of one posting with multiple openings listed.


• Total Orders - This measure should be interpreted as the total number of job postings that were active at some point within the specified period of time (either monthly or annual). Note this is the number of job orders, so if a job order lists more than one opening, only one opening is counted. If an employer posts an order for a job, closes the order, and then opens another order for the same job in the same period of time, both of those openings will be counted, as well.

The crosswalk used to classify each job opening into a Standard Occupational Code was obtained from O*NET Online.

METHODOLOGY & SOURCES

Local Area Unemployment Statistics - Iowa Workforce Development & Bureau of Labor Statistics

The Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program is a federal-state cooperative effort in which monthly estimates of total employment and unemployment are prepared for approximately 7,500 areas.

These estimates are key indicators of local economic conditions. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) of the U.S. Department of Labor is responsible for the concepts, definitions, technical procedures, validation, and publication of the estimates that state workforce agencies prepare under agreement with BLS.

The concepts and definitions underlying LAUS data come from the Current Population Survey (CPS), the household survey that is the source of the national unemployment rate. State monthly model-based estimates are controlled in "real time" to sum to national monthly employment and unemployment estimates from the CPS. These models combine current and historical data from the CPS, the Current Employment Statistics (CES) survey, and state unemployment insurance (UI) systems. Estimates for seven large areas and their respective balances of state also are model-based. Estimates for counties are produced through a building-block approach known as the "Handbook method." This procedure also uses data from several sources, including the CPS, the CES program, state UI systems, and the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS), to create estimates that are adjusted to the statewide measures of employment and unemployment. Estimates for cities are prepared using disaggregation techniques based on inputs from the ACS, annual population estimates, and current UI data. Benchmarking occurs each year in February and updated numbers for the current and previous years are published in March.

Long-Term Industry & Occupational Projections - Iowa Workforce Development & Bureau of Labor Statistics

Long-term projections , also known as forecasts, provide detailed information on the estimated activity for each occupation, occupational category or industry in areas of employment, growth rate, total annual openings, wages, career preparation and skill requirements.

Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics - United States Census Bureau

The Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD) program is part of the Center for Economic Studies at the U.S. Census Bureau. The LEHD program produces new, cost effective, public-use information combining federal, state and Census Bureau data on employers and employees under the Local Employment Dynamics (LED) Partnership. State and local authorities increasingly need detailed local information about their economies to make informed decisions. The LED Partnership works to fill critical data gaps and provide indicators needed by state and local authorities.

Under the LED Partnership, states agree to share Unemployment Insurance earnings data and the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) data with the Census Bureau. The LEHD program combines these administrative data, additional administrative data and data from censuses and surveys. From these data, the program creates statistics on employment, earnings, and job flows at detailed levels of geography and industry and for different demographic groups. In addition, the LEHD program uses these data to create partially synthetic data on workers' residential patterns.

All 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands have joined the LED Partnership, although the LEHD program is not yet producing public-use statistics for Massachusetts, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands. The LEHD program staff includes geographers, programmers, and economists. Data is reprocesses every quarter to incorporate processing improvements and state resubmissions. Due to this, numbers in the report may differ slightly from numbers found on the website.


• New Hire Wage - This is the average reported wage for newly hired workers.

United States Census Bureau, Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (2017, Quarter 3) - https://lehd.ces.census.gov

Quarterly Census of Employment & Wages - Iowa Workforce Development & Bureau of Labor Statistics

The Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) program publishes a quarterly count of employment and wages reported by employers covering 98 percent of U.S. jobs, available at the county, MSA, state and national levels by industry.

Vacancy Rate (calculation reported per industry & occupational category)

The vacancy rate calculation reported per industry and occupational category was calculated by dividing the estimated vacancies reported (Workforce Needs Assessment Survey) by the employment within the given industry (Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics) or occupational category (Occupational Employment Statistics).
