Largest-ever regional Workforce Survey set to kick-off Local Employers'support critical for Workforce Study By Daryl McGaha Submitted by Sue Stivers, C/AC Economic Development Authority RUSSELL SPRINGS, KY - July 9, 2012 - This region is about to embark on the largest employer outreach and workforce survey ever undertaken in the region. Businesses throughout the region with five or more employees will soon receive a call and be asked to participate in a labor market survey lasting only 7-10 minutes. All five Workforce Investment Areas which are part of the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) are encouraging local employers to participate in telephone interviews, which are part of a comprehensive workforce study to collect valuable data on local salaries, hiring trends, occupations in demand, industry growth, skills gaps and much more. The Cumberlands Workforce Investment Board (CWIB) and the Lake Cumberland Area Development District (LCADD) are sponsoring the study to help the region develop strategies for addressing regional economic and workforce supply and demand issues. THE SURVEY WILL BEGIN MONDAY, AUGUST 6TH, 2012. The aggregated results will be available in various interactive web applications and will be free to business, jobseekers, schools and others interested in our region at the completion of the survey. Notification of availability will be made public. "A region is only as good as its workforce and current comprehensive data is critical for understanding where we are at and where we need to go. This survey will help make an already great workforce even better. I urge everyone to fully participate in this survey. It will help us all," said, Wendell Emerson, Chairperson of the Cumberlands WIB. Approximately 36,132 Businesses in 112 counties will be contacted. The thirteen counties that make up the Cumberlands WIA: Adair, Casey, Clinton, Cumberland, Green, Laurel, McCreary, Pulaski, Rockcastle, Russell, Taylor, Wayne and Whitley Counties will be contacted over a three month period. This represents 4,359 businesses with the information for these counties being separated into a sub region of the overall survey. Darryl McGaha, Associate Director of Workforce Development with LCADD, says that the survey will help the region develop a strategic and tactical plan based on current and comprehensive information related to workforce ability and capacity for the13 county area. ERISS Corporation of San Diego, California (www.eriss.com) will conduct the detailed telephone surveys of regional employers. ERISS Corporation has worked in the Kentucky region for many years and is an award-winning firm that has surveyed over 2 million employers, including over 24,000 employers for a project in Lake Cumberland and neighboring counties in 2009. Eriss specializes in job/labor market research and interactive web applications. -Daryl McGaha This story was posted on 2012-07-16 16:10:58
