Stories in newspapers across the country have claimed that there are unmet needs for information technology workers, construction laborers, craftworkers, registered nurses, qualified teachers, and others.

These data include trends in employment and earnings and employment rates for particular occupations. The writer discusses the meaning of occupational labor shortages and assesses the adequacy of available data in identifying, quantifying, and evaluating such shortages. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
