South Dakota occupational employment projections to 2022

The Labor Market Information Center (LMIC) recently completed the 2012 to 2022 round of South Dakota occupational employment projections. Use of a nationally-adopted projections methodology allows forcomparability of data across states. The methodology incorporates historical time-series employment data as well as state and national economic trends and uses various statistical models. (A general assumption is made that no major catastrophic events or natural disasters that would significantly affect economic activities of the occupations' industries will occur during the projection period.)

Occupational employment projections indicate which occupations will exhibit above average growth and be in high demand to 2022. Occupational employment projections also supply those who seek or provide career guidance with information on how the labor market is changing. The general outlook for South Dakota is characterized by job growth in the coming decade, based on historical trends. From 2012 to 2022, the total number of workers in South Dakota is projected to expand by 33,265 to a total of 505,870 (7.0 percent). The average annual demand for workers is projected to be 14,728. Nationally, the total number of workers is projected to increase to 160,983,700 from 145,355,800 10.8 percent. Of the 30 occupations projected to have the largest percentage increase between 2012 and 2022 nationally, 14 are related to health care and five are related to construction, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Every major occupational group except the Farming, Fishing and Forestry Occupations group is projected to gain jobs over the next 10 years.

The conservative growth rate for South Dakota compared to the nation is related to the recent recession. While the recession started on a national level in December of 2007, it took until the fourth quarter of 2008 for the recession to affect employment levels in South Dakota. Therefore, South Dakota is projected to have a more conservative growth rate than the nation because the recession's impact was less severe in our state.

Occupations Projected to Grow the Fastest

The narrative on the following pages includes an overview of the occupations which are expected to have the fastest employment growth from 2012 to 2022. It also identifies the occupational groups which are home to these occupations and the industry which typically employs a large share of these occupations.

Number of workers data for 2012 and 2022 rounded to nearest five.

Data for occupations requiring less than a High School Diploma not Included.

Data presented for occupations will not sum to totals due to rounding and non-publishable data for additional occupations included in totals.

Demand data is the summation of job openings estimated due to projected employment growth and job openings projected to be created due to

replacement need of current workers. Replacement need is estimated by multiplying occupational employment estimates by national

replacement rates supplied by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). These rates estimate the number of job openings, by occupation, which

will be attributed to a worker permanently leaving an occupation (e.g. retirement, death, exits the workforce, etc.). Average annual demand data

are calculated by dividing by ten, the number of years in the projection period. For more information, see projections methodology.

Once again, this growth is mainly driven by an aging population.

Occupations Projected to Be in Greatest Demand

Projections of job growth or decline indicate how occupational employment is expected to change, but average annual openings indicate the demand for workers based on both growth and replacement needs. New jobs will account for only a portion of this projection. The other portion will be due to workers retiring, leaving the labor force or transferring from one occupation to another. Please note, we excluded from the table above those occupations that require less than a high school diploma. Those entry-level occupations, bynature, have high rates of people advancing to other career fields as they gain more work experience and/or education, and thus historically have higher-than-average projected demand for workers. In this analysis, we wanted to instead focus on occupations which are projected to have higher-than-average demand more unique to this particular projections period (2012 to 2022).

Overview of the labor market in June

Labor Supply

The number of South Dakotans who would be available to staff a new or expanding business, or SouthDakota's labor supply, was estimated at 42,695 in June 2014. Included in this labor supply are those whocurrently hold jobs (and would like to change) and those who, for a variety of reasons, do not have jobs.

employed decreasing by 700 (0.2 percent). The level of unemployed decreased by 200 (1.2 percent).

Nationally, the unemployment rate declined by 0.2 percentage point to 6.1 percent. The number of unemployed persons decreased by 325,000 to 9.5 million. Over the year, the unemployment rate and the number of unemployed persons have declined by 1.4 percentage points and 2.3 million, respectively.

South Dakota's June 2014 labor force of 453,400 increased compared to the June 2013 level of 448,600. The level of employed increased by 5,000 (1.2 percent); the level of unemployed decreased by 200 persons (1.2 percent).

South Dakota Unemployment Rates by CountyNot seasonally adjusted

June 2014

Notes about labor force data

The unemployment rate represents the number of unemployed as a percent of the labor force. People are classified as unemployed if they do not have jobs, have actively looked for work in the prior four weeks and are currently available for work. People who were not working and were waiting to be recalled to jobs from which they were temporarily laid off are also included as unemployed.

Labor force estimates for South Dakota are produced by the Labor Market Information Center in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The concepts and definitions underlying the labor force data come from the Current Population Survey (CPS), the household survey which is the official measure of the labor force for the nation. The statewide estimate of the number of nonfarm jobs is a component of the model used to produce the labor force estimates. Other data used in this model include the number of continued unemployment insurance claims and survey data from the Current Population Survey (CPS) which is specific


Page 8 of 26

monthly model estimates are controlled in "real time" to sum to national monthly labor force estimates fromthe CPS. Therefore, variation in the estimates of the employed and unemployed are somewhat controlled by what is happening nationally.

South Dakota Nonfarm Wage & Salaried Workers by Industry

This data is not seasonally adjusted.

Over-the-month comparisons

Based on a monthly survey of South Dakota establishments where employment data is collected for the pay periods that occur during the 12th of the month, preliminary estimates show the total nonfarm wage and salaried worker level increased by 5,700 (or 1.3 percent) from May 2014 to June 2014.

Private service-providing industries produced the overwhelming majority of the over-the-month growth. There were numerous events that increased the demand for these services such as the Fort Sisseton Historical Festival, Car and Motorcycle Show, BBQ Championship, Wheel Jam, Renaissance Festival, Wheels and Squeals, Crazy Horse Stampede Rodeo, Wild Bill Days, Art and Wine Festival, Czech Days, Arts in the Park, Music Festival, Red Power Round Up, Crystal Springs Rodeo and Camaro Rally.

The leisure and hospitality industry showed the largest private gain with a 2,300 worker (or 5.0 percent)increase, and retail trade added 900 workers (or 1.8 percent); seasonal events demanded more of these industries' services. Professional and business services added 800 workers (2.6 percent). Local government also showed solid seasonal over-the-month growth with an 800 worker (or 1.6 percent) increase as staff and faculty were hired to prepare for the beginning of a new school year.

Over-the-year comparisons

Based on a monthly survey of South Dakota establishments, preliminary estimates show total nonfarm wage and salaried workers increased by 3,300 (or 0.8 percent) from June 2013 to June 2014.

Professional and business services had an over-the-year increase of 1,600 workers (5.3 percent). The June 2014 level was 31,600 compared to 30,000 in June 2013. During the time frame of January 2003 toDecember 2013, the industry has overall continued to trend upwards.

Wholesale trade showed worker gains over-the-year with an added 800 workers (3.9 percent). The June 2013 level was 20,300 compared to 21,100 in June 2014. The whole industry has been steadily trending upward since 2008.

Manufacturing produced a 400 worker (or 0.9 percent) increase from 42,600 in June 2014 from 42,200 in June 2013. South Dakota manufacturing has performed uniquely, as the industry produced worker growth from the beginning of 2004 all the way through November 2008, while national manufacturing has not shown growth since 1998. South Dakota showed its first over-the-year loss in August 2008 as the national recession became more pronounced and the world recession continued. South Dakota has shown a steady increase in manufacturing from the recession.

Leisure and hospitality had a worker loss of 400 workers over the year (0.8 percent) to a level of 48,000 in June 2014. The June 2013 worker level was 48,400. This sector fluctuates due to seasonality and events during the year. During the years of 2003-2013, the industry shows very consistently of peak and low yearly patterns.
