Occupational Research Occupational research has long been one of my fields of expertise, dating back to the mid 1980s when I began conducting occupational outlook surveys as part of the State/Local Cooperative Labor Market Information Program. I was also an integral member of the State of California's Technical Workgroup that designed the California Cooperative Occupational Information System (CCOIS). Once established, I managed CCOIS occupational research programs for local partner agencies for more than ten years. I also coordinated two pilot O*NET projects, including one which involved survey and focus group research on emerging occupations. (O*NET, a U.S. Department of Labor initiative, is the nation's most comprehensive source of data on occupational and worker characteristics.)
Besides large-scale occupational research, many organizations have
contracted with me over the years to conduct small-scale occupational
research. This is where I am asked to research/analyze one or more occupations
or job classifications. The research may focus on
compensation, supply & demand, skills, career pathways, or any number
of data elements identified as a priority including writing/rewriting
job descriptions. Research methods may include employer surveys, focus group
discussions, interviews with subject matter experts, or
analyzing/using existing data.
