About This quarterly report provides education and workforce development professionals with timely data about jobs, industries, in-demand skills, and workers in NYC and its five boroughs. This report is made possible with the generous support from the New York City Workforce Funders.

The Center for Urban Research (CUR) at the CUNY Graduate Center undertakes basic research addressing the issues facing New York and other large cities. A common thread in CUR activities is to understand the broad forces shaping patterns of inequality, inter-group relations, and neighborhood life in large urban areas and how these trends influence and are influenced by political participation, civic engagement, and the role of government. CUR has three operating units: the CUNY Data Service, the CUNY Mapping Service, and the New York City Labor Market Information Service (NYCLMIS).

The NYCLMIS at the City University of New York Graduate Center is the go-to resource for action-oriented intelligence about the labor market. We provide timely and accurate information about the labor market to help educators, workforce professionals, economic development organizations, and philanthropies make data-driven decisions that will help their students, customers, and constituencies achieve success in the labor market. We are dedicated to rigor, close collaboration with our clients, advancing the skills of the workforce, and contributing to a healthy economy.

Glossary | Quarterly Brief | Q1 2018

New York City Labor Market Information Service | 41

Glossary Labor Force This term includes people of working age who are either employed or are unemployed and actively seeking employment. Unemployment Rate (UR) This is the number of people who are unemployed and actively seeking employment divided by the size of the labor force. This does not include people who are marginally attached to the labor force or discouraged from participating in it. Sector This term describes standardized broad groupings of employers by economic or commercial activity. Occupation Sometimes used interchangeably with “job,” this term describes standardized, detailed groupings of workers who carry out similar activities. Occupations are organized based on the work performed, and sometimes on skills, education, and training requirements.

Job This is a broad term used to describe positions filled by employers. Depending on the context, it may be used interchangeably with “occupations.” Online Job Ads These are job announcements that are posted online. This report presents these data in aggregate to illustrate overall demand online. The ratio of online ads to actual job openings is not always 1:1. Moreover, not all jobs are equally represented online. Some industries and employers may advertise exclusively online. Some may prefer to recruit through word of mouth or through existing talent networks. Others may employ some combination of one or more of these techniques to identify talent. Specialized Skills These refer to the training and knowledge required to do perform a specific job. In aggregate, they can offer an indication of the type of work that is in-demand across sectors and occupations.
