SOURCES & METHODOLOGY

KentuckianaWorks used data based on online job postings aggregated by Burning Glass Labor/Insight to under-stand labor market demand for different jobs and skills in the workforce of the 12-county Louisville Metropoli-tan Statistical Area (MSA). Burning Glass gathers data from multiple online sources, including major job posting sites, and employer-specific job boards. Burning Glass then removes duplicate results. We have discounted the Burning Glass numbers by 20 percent to account for possible duplication. Job postings do not guarantee the existence of an open job. Some industries, such as manufacturing, or occupations, such as welders, may be par-ticularly prone to underrepresentation in online job postings data, meaning the real demand may be higher. Similarly, some employers may post continuous listings for positions they do not intend to fill in the near term. Thus, while Burning Glass provides the best available data, it does not provide a complete representation of the job market. KentuckianaWorks used Economic Modeling Specialist Intl.’s Analyst tool (EMSI Analyst), for local data on the number of jobs, median and percentile wages, typical-entry level education for jobs, the composition of jobs within industry clusters, occupational age demographics (to gauge possible retirements), and projected 10-year job growth. EMSI Analyst draws data from multiple sources, including the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Census Bureau’s American Community Surveys, the Bureau of Economic Analysis, and their own proprietary models. KentuckianaWorks annualized data for the median annual wage by assuming 2,080 hours of work during a year. For the living-wage threshold, KentuckianaWorks used the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Living Wage Calculator’s 2017 living wage for a family of two adults and two children without childcare in Louisville MSA. That number was $50,190. The Top High-Demand and High-Wage fields were developed by creating composite ranking that takes Burning Glass job postings and EMSI Analyst projected growth/possible retirements into account. Possible retirements come from the number of people in a job field who are 55 or older. Both criteria were ranked separately, then the average ranking was used as a composite score. Composite scores were ranked to create the Top 25 list. To be considered high-wage, a field must have a median annual wage of at least $50,190.
