The goal of the Economic Analysis and Information office of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics is to provide accurate, detailed, and understandable data to the public on a wide variety of economic subjects.  In his time thus far at the Bureau, Robin has attended conferences and given presentations across the Mid-Atlantic area on employment, wages, benefits, and more, to both professional and academic audiences.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes Employment Projections every two years.  These projections develop information about the labor market for the Nation as a whole for 10 years in the future.  The latest set of projections, published in December 2015, cover the time period 2014-2024.  These include projections as to which jobs will be the fastest growing and which will have the most new jobs added over the next decade.  Paired with this, the 2016-17 Occupational Outlook Handbook gives detailed information on various occupations including salary, education required,and state and local data.  The presentation prepared includes some general background information on the U.S. BLS, and then dives into the Employment Projections and Occupational Outlook Handbook.

This program has been approved by SHRM and HRCI for 1.5  (Business) recertification credits.

Lunch will be provided for those registering prior to April 14th.
