Ramifications
1. Postings aren’t simply a faster version of
LMI, though they can be a leading
indicator of job growth in some sectors.

• Link between LMI and JPA
• By comparing hires to postings by occupation, we have information that’s greater than the sum of its parts
www2.economicmodeling.com/contextualizing-real-time-report
Applying JPA and LMI
• The report goes into applications for:
• Colleges and universities
• Workforce development
• Economic development
• Private sector
www2.economicmodeling.com/contextualizing-real-time-report
Workflow Example
www2.economicmodeling.com/contextualizing-real-time-report
Workflow Example

postings
• Look at Activities Related to Credit
Intermediation industry

important occupation, and what industries
it’s tied to

advertisements posted online.
