How to Use Job Counts
>
Overall, the counts you see in Labor/Insight are accurate and
validated
>
In a recent study of the New York City metro area, Burning
Glass found its job counts to be within a few percentage points
of JOLTS estimates
>
However, there may be some duplicates and these can sometimes
be concentrated in particular employers based on specifics of their
posting behavior
>
Don't get too fixated on specific numbers: Whether an employer
indeed has 64 openings or 54, they still have a lot of jobs!
>
Remember, you can always click through to view the underlying job
listings and check for yourself
© 2011 Burning Glass International Inc. – Proprietary and Confidential
15
Deciding on the Best Scope of Analysis
>
Labor/Insight gives you the ability to reach down to an unprecedented
level of specificity by selecting:
>
Geography
>
Time span
>
And dozens of other filters for education, skills, experience,
occupations, etc.
>
But slicing the data too narrowly may limit what it tells you and what
you can generalize from it
>
And being too specific may also reduce the reliability of your analysis
(e.g. What are the top skills in demand for green jobs requiring
graduate degrees in Tulsa County?)
>
When you see numbers getting too low, consider dialing back some of
your active filter selections
© 2011 Burning Glass International Inc. – Proprietary and Confidential
16
Tips on Easy-to-Avoid User Errors
>
To view a detailed report, you must first select a specific value for the
relevant filter (e.g. O*NET occupation to run detailed occupation
reports)
>
When selecting values, don’t forget to click “Add” for each one
>
When you change or add new values, don’t forget to click “Update
Report” after you’ve made your selections
>
If you wish to start a completely new search, don’t forget to delete all
your previous values by selecting them all and clicking “Clear”
>
To view the Summary Demand & Requirements report for any state,
first clear all previously selected values
