Occupational Projections,
Job Outlooks and Wage Surveys
Occupational projections
indicate the need for workers and detail the number of job openings due to new
jobs and to replacement of current workers. These projections are developed for
all states and the nation.
Iowa Job Outlooks provide
occupational overviews for specific geographic areas. Industry
openings, educational levels, and corresponding wages and skills are
highlighted.
The Iowa and OES
Wage Surveys provide employment and wage estimates for various geographic areas.
The data produced with the projections and wage surveys are important to career
planning as well as analysis of pay structures and employment trends.
