ITEM TITLE: 5: 15 PM - WORK SESSION - Inclusive Dubuque SUMMARY: SUGGESTED DISPOSITION: ATTACHMENTS: Description Type Dubuque Region Skills Gap Analysis Supporting Documentation I D General Overview Supporting Documentation ID Equity Assessment Flyer Supporting Documentation Inclusive Dubuque Power Point Supporting Documentation J Skills Ready Dubuque Region Skills Gap Analysis November 2014 SSMART OLUTIONSGROUP Skills Ready Background PURPOSE The purpose of the Skills Ready Gap Analysis is to provide economic developers, workforce developers, and educators with information on projected workforce shortages ( gaps) and to identify potential strate- gies to mitigate these shortages. Dubuque Region The Dubuque Region consists of seven counties: Clayton County, IA Delaware County, IA Dubuque, lA Jackson County, lA Jones County, IA Jo Davies County, IL Grant County, WI DATA The data used in this report are from the 2014 3nd quarter data release from Economic Modeling Specialists Intl. ( EMSI), a leading provider of historical databases of economic, industry, occupation, demographic, and education completion data. EMSI' s primary data sources for this skills gap analy- sis are the Bureau of Labor and the National Center for Education Statistics' Integrated Postsecond- ary Education Data System ( IPEDS). The data in this report includes: 2014 Jobs - The number of jobs for both employees and the self- employed Earnings per Worker- Wages, salaries, overtime, and bonuses Job Growth - The change in the number of jobs from 2014 to 2024 Replacements - The number of jobs where a worker left the occupation to retire, change oc- cupations, relocate outside the labor market, or other reasons Openings - The number of workers needed for Job Growth and Replacements Completions - The number of students that completed degree, certificate, and diploma pro- grams at postsecondary institutions in the labor marker Skill Gaps - The number of Completions minus the number of Openings IPEDS is the source of the Completion data shown in this report. Since IPEDS reports the comple- tions for all of the Northeast Iowa Community College ( NICC) campuses as NICC- Calmar, the IPEDS data does not show NICC' s completions in Peosta, Dubuque, and other locations in the Dubuque Region. Therefore, NICC has provided the completion date for their Dubuque Region loca- tions for inclusion in this report.

S. Employment in the seven- county Dubuque Region is projected by EMSI to grow by 11. 3% over the next ten years, which is at a rate somewhat below the projected growth for the State of Iowa and the Nation The Region' s Working Age Population ( ages 20 to 69) is projected to decline by nearly- 4% over the next ten years while Iowa is projected to decline at a lower rate and the U. S. is projected to have modest growth The Unemployment Rate in the Region' s seven counties are well below the U. S. rate The median Earnings per Worker in the Dubuque Region is 10. 5% below the Earnings for Iowa and 24. 9% below the U. S. Earnings The projected increase in Employment and the decrease in Working Age Population will yield increasing workforce shortages in the Region over the next 10 years Finding jobs for the Region' s unemployed will not greatly reduce the upcoming job shortages Relatively low Earnings will make it challenging to retain some of the Region' s workforce as well as making it challenging to attract needed workers to the Region 3 SOLUTIONSGROUP Occupations Top 50 High Pay Occupations with Skill Gaps The following exhibit shows the 50 occupations, which have earnings of$ 17. 00 per hour or more, with the highest number of skill gaps over the next ten years The Skill Gaps data shown is the total over the next ten years The Completions data shows the number of degrees and certificates that were awarded in 2013 and, as stated previously in this report, may not include all the degrees and certificates that were awarded this data should be reviewed for accuracy by the postsecondary institutions in the Dubuque Region These 50 occupations represent a wide range of industries Projections 2014- 2024 53- 3032 Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers 2, 581 $ 17. 76 304 601 905 170 ( 735) 41- 4011 Sales Representatives, Wholesale and 1, 349 $ 27. 56 189 354 543 0 ( 543) Manufacturing, Except Technical and Sci- entific Products 41- 3021 Insurance Sales Agents 703 $ 24. 31 207 258 465 0 ( 465) 47- 2111 Electricians 736 $ 22. 72 200 206 406 20 ( 386) 49- 9041 Industrial Machinery Mechanics 611 $ 21. 58 123 234 357 0 ( 357) 51- 4011 Computer- Controlled Machine Tool Opera- 1, 444 $ 17. 78 245 578 823 530 ( 293) tors, Metal and Plastic & 51- 4041 Machinists* 43- 1011 First- Line Supervisors of Office and Admin- 649 $ 21. 39 141 126 267 10 ( 257) istrative Support Workers 47- 2031 Carpenters 1, 038 $ 17. 62 37 273 310 70 ( 240) 47- 2073 Operating Engineers and Other Construc- 468 $ 21. 60 87 149 236 0 ( 236) tion Equipment Operators 59- 9999 Military Occupations 910 $ 19. 90 ( 36) 268 232 0 ( 232) 51- 1011 First- Line Supervisors of Production and 721 $ 23. 27 42 171 213 0 ( 213) Operating Workers 51- 2022 Electrical and Electronic Equipment As- 475 $ 17. 30 ( 68) 263 195 0 ( 195) semblers 13- 1199 Business Operations Specialists, All Other 592 $ 22. 51 75 107 182 0 ( 182) 41- 3099 Sales Representatives, Services, All Other 314 $ 21. 79 86 94 180 0 ( 180) 41- 3031 Securities, Commodities, and Financial 266 $ 32. 67 45 107 152 0 ( 152) Services Sales Agents These two occupations are combined because the educational programs that prepare students for these occupations are identical. 4 SOLUTIONSGROUP Occupations with Skill Gaps -

There is no individual, business, community, or region left unchanged by what we have endured together. Through the trials of the pandemic, many of us have emerged with renewed clarity of purpose. There is a rededication to the essentials, a focus on what’s fundamental. For Greater Dubuque Development, it has meant a distillation of our work. Our focus is on three fundamental areas—Workforce Solutions, Business Services, and Community Development. In the simplest terms, it is supporting and growing our business community and their workforce while improving our regional quality of life. Now, more than ever, the collaboration of public, private, and nonprofit partners is crucial to our region.
