Victor Valley College Environmental Scan Report: Rural Opportunities Study
Organizing regional employment information by occupation provides a workforce-oriented view of the regional economy.
EMSI's occupation data are based on EMSI's industry data and regional staffing patterns taken from the Occupational
Employment Statistics program (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics). Wage information is partially derived from the American
Community Survey. The occupation-to-program (SOC-to-CIP) crosswalk is based on one from the U.S. Department of
Education, with customizations by EMSI.
In order to capture a complete picture of industry employment, EMSI basically combines covered employment data from
Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) produced by the Department of Labor with total employment data in
Regional Economic Information System (REIS) published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), augmented with County
Business Patterns (CBP) and Nonemployer Statistics (NES) published by the U.S. Census Bureau. Projections are based on the latest available EMSI industry data, 15-year past local trends in each industry, growth rates in statewide and (where available) sub-state area industry projections published by individual state agencies, and (in part) growth rates in national projections from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
This report uses state data from the following agencies: California Labor Market Information Department.
The input-output model in this report is created using the national Input-Output matrix provided by the federal Bureau of
Economic Analysis. This is combined with the national Total Gross Output, the regional Total Gross Output, the land area of the subject region, regional DIRT data and regional in/out commuter patterns in order to calculate regional requirements, imports and exports. After using matrix algebra to calculate the regional multiplier, the resulting matrix is multiplied by the sales vector and converted back to jobs or earnings. Specifically, this data comes from the U.S. Department of Commerce,
Bureau of Economic Analysis, Industry Economic Accounts: Benchmark & Annual Input-Output (I-O) Accounts.
Location quotient (LQ) is a way of quantifying how concentrated a particular industry, cluster, occupation, or demographic group is in a region as compared to the nation. It can reveal what makes a particular region unique in comparison to the national average.
The competency data in this report is taken directly from the O*NET database.

About the Centers of Excellence
The Centers of Excellence (COE), in partnership with business and industry, deliver regional workforce research customized for community college decision making and resource development. This information has proven valuable to colleges in beginning, revising, or updating economic development and Career Technical Education
(CTE) programs, strengthening grant applications, assisting in the accreditation process, and in supporting strategic planning efforts.
The COE initiative and Rural Opportunities Program is funded in part by the Chancellor’s Office, California
Community Colleges Economic and Workforce Development Program. The Centers aspire to be the premier source of regional economic and workforce information and insight for California’s community colleges.
More information about the Centers of Excellence is available at www.coeccc.net

How to Use This Report
This report is designed to provide current industry data specific to your college for:
Defining potential strategic opportunities relative to an industry’s emerging trends and workforce needs;
Influencing and informing local college program planning and resource development;
Promoting a future-oriented and market responsive way of thinking among college and community stakeholders;
Assisting community college administrators, faculty, Economic Development, and CTE administrators, and contract education programs in connecting with industry partners.
The information in this report has been generated using software customized for the COE initiative, including
Environmental System Research Institute’s (ESRI) GIS Business Analyst application and Economic Modeling
Specialists, Inc. (EMSI) economic modeling system. In some instances, the labor market information will suggest that colleges might not want to begin or add programs, thereby avoiding needless replication and low enrollments.

Unlike Centers of Excellence environmental scan reports, the information contained in this report has not been independently validated by employers, nor does it contain information on other community college and external programs.
Efforts have been made to confirm the accuracy of the data and the reported findings; however, neither the
Centers of Excellence, COE host district, or California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office are responsible for applications or decisions made by recipient community colleges or their representatives based upon this report.
