The Areas of Interest (AOI) helps find places where jobs are growing or shrinking. This info is useful for helping people find jobs in growing fields. It also helps cities and regions plan to support job growth or make changes if jobs are decreasing.
AOI looks at areas with at least five percent more jobs each year and at least 25 new jobs. Places with at least five percent fewer jobs each year and 25 fewer jobs are considered shrinking AOI. If an area has four quarters in a row of job growth or decline, it's called Long-Term-Growth or Long-Term-Decline.
AOI uses data from the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW). The data in this dashboard is only for this study and might be different from other job data reports. Sometimes changes like fixing where a business is located
The County Statistics Interactive Dashboard lets you pick a county on a map. It shows how many people aged 16 and older are working each year, grouped by age. You can compare this to the whole state.
The Industries of Interest (IOI) Interactive Dashboard shows industry data at the county level. It uses percentages because some industries have few businesses or one big business. You can pick a county on the map or from a list. You can also choose which industry codes to see.
Industries of Interest (IOI) by New Hires The Industries of Interest (IOI) by New Hires Interactive Dashboard shows statewide industry data using NAICS codes. It tracks which industries are hiring in the most recent quarter, helping to find growing or shrinking industries. Data goes back to 2010. You can select specific industries and quarters to compare q
The Historical Industries of Interest show the past for all industries, whether or not they were considered important at the time. Just looking at the current data in the Industries of Interest Dashboard below, although helpful, doesn't show where in the trend an industry stands—it might be starting a new trend, in the middle of an ongoing one, or at the end. From an analysis view, it's easy to miss when a trend begins or changes because only the latest information is seen. This historical dashboard lets people see where things are happening over time, giving more perspective.
The Keystone Statistics (KeyStats) Dashboard shows important economic information for Pennsylvania and the United States. It's split into two parts. The first part compares employment data, GDP, and federal interest rates between Pennsylvania and the nation. The second part focuses on big-picture economic details for the United States, like spending, manufacturing, and home building numbers. KeyStats helps see how our economy is doing with easy-to-understand visuals. Most data gets updated each month.
The Labor Force Statistics Interactive Dashboard has six parts in one place. You can see each part by clicking on the tabs at the top. The first two tabs show information about Pennsylvania's workforce, including how many people have jobs and how many are looking for work. The third tab compares Pennsylvania's jobless rate to nearby states. The last three tabs show current jobless rates for counties, changes in rates from month to month, and how each county compares to the state's rates.
The Older Workers Dashboard shows information about older workers in Pennsylvania, who are age 55 and above. It looks at different industries and counties to see where many older workers are. This helps us know which places might need new workers soon. On the first page, you can see the percentage of older workers in each county, sorted by sector, subsector, and industry. The other three pages show which sectors, subsectors, and industries have the most older workers in each county. This data helps us understand where older workers are most concentrated and which jobs they are doing. We use information from the Quarterly Workforce Indicators, part of the Census Bureau's Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics. This dashboard is updated once a year because the data doesn't change much between quarters.
The Online Job Postings dataset collects job ads from the internet and sorts them by county and workforce development area (WDA) into different categories like industries, occupations, skills, and certifications.
To look at a specific category, just click on the tab for what you want to see at the top of the page. On the right side, there are filters you can use. You'll always see filters for “areatype” (like statewide, county, or WDA) and “area” (where you choose which place you want to look at). First, pick your areatype. Then, the area drop-down box will show you the places you can pick from for that areatype.
You'll also find more filters that change based on which tab you're on. The “ad type” drop-down box lets you choose between “total ads” for all ads during a period or “new ads” posted during that time. The “level” drop-down lets you pick how detailed you want the data to be, like 2-digit or 4-digit codes for industries and occupations. Below that, the “description” drop-down shows more specific info based on what category you picked, such as industry names, job titles, skills, or certifications. If you need help understanding these terms, you can find definitions on the “definitions” tab.
The Pennsylvania’s Economic Portrait (PEP) is a new dashboard that shows many indicators about jobs in Pennsylvania. It has unemployment data, workforce data, current job stats, and wage data. You can filter the data in lots of ways, like by industry, who is working, and where they work. It's a great tool to see how things are going with jobs in our state.
The Unemployment Compensation Claims Dashboard lets you see reports from our Unemployment Compensation Activity page. You can pick a date when claims end, choose if it's the first time someone is claiming or if it's ongoing, and pick a place (like a county or all of PA). Then you can see how many claims there are by age, gender, race, and job type.
Workers can stay with the same employer or change to a new one in the same industry or a different one. They can also stop working altogether. We track these changes each year to see how many workers do each of these things in each industry. We also look at where workers came from and where they go each year. This helps us see patterns in how workers move between industries. Some industries have few changes, meaning workers stay in the same industry. Others have a lot of changes. This data helps us see which industries workers move to or from, which is useful for understanding how industries are connected. The Worker Movement By Industry Dashboardshows these changes in a visual way.
