PA New Hires Report

The New Hires reporting program shows industries that are hiring for the most recent quarter, and can be used to determine emerging or declining industries based on year-ago comparisons along with regional analysis. Analysis should be based on the volume of new hires (for significance) and on year-over-year change (for trend).

Potential Uses for the New Hires Data

  • Determine where and in which industries employers are hiring
  • Find emerging or declining industries
  • Target industries with growing companies for staffing and training needs or declining ones for intervention strategies
