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.

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 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
