INTRODUCTION
I. INTRODUCTION
All citizens of the State of Missouri must have the opportunity to
achieve their highest potential in order for the state's economy to function
at its highest level. Many factors affect these individual opportunities,
including the person's education level, geographic location, selection of a
career, personal preferences, health of the economy when the individual seeks
employment, and many others. With potential labor shortages expected for our
state and nation, it is essential that education/training programs provide
individuals with the skills needed by the employers of today and of the fu
ture. It is also important that individuals examine their career choices
thoughtfully so that the careers they choose provide jobs at the completion of
education/training with the wage/salaries they require and which allow them to
function productively.
The MOICC has designed its Occupational Information System (OIS) to
provide the data bases which can be used to examine Missouri's occupational
and industrial growth, current occupational training programs, wages, place
ment rates, licensing requirements, and other occupational characteristics.
This information is disseminated through the MOICC Occupational Data Book, the
Microcomputer Occupational Information System (MICRO-OIS), the MOICC Educa
tion/Training Program Inventories, and the CHOICES career information micro
computer software. If the information in these publications and systems is
utilized along with common sense and an understanding of the appropriate uses
of the data, the state will be better prepared to equip the workforce of the
future with the skills which will be needed.
This publication, the MOICC Occupational Data Book, presents quantitative
and analytical occupational information which has been organized to assist in
examining the relative balance between occupational demand (jobs) and occupa
tional supply (qualified workers) in Missouri's labor market. The primary
purpose of this document is to bring together labor market information data
sources which are collected on a recurring basis by various government and
education/training agencies and to assist in the interpretation and use of
this data. This information may be used as support data in the decision
making process of many different user groups: (1) education/training program
planners (e.g., to assure that training programs relate to labor market
needs), (2) counselors and career decision makers (e.g., to provide informa
tion on employment outlook and wages relating to different programs of study),
(3) economic development and business/industry staff (e.g., to determine how
many persons are being trained in the different geographic areas of the state
who would have the skills required by particular industries), and others.
The MOICC Occupational Data Book is designed as a reference document and
includes statewide data in several different report formats: two types of
supply-demand reports, two types of analysis reports, military discharges
reports, wage reports, two types of industry/occupation matrix reports and
education/training inventories. These reports are prepared as products of
Missouri's Occupational Information System (OIS) with the support of the MOICC
member agencies.

This edition of the Data Book includes the occupational employment pro
jections to the year 2000 and the industry/occupation matrix, furnished by the
Division of Employment Security (MODES). Chapter III describes the supply,
demand, and analysis reports and discusses interpretation issues. All persons
planning to use the Data Book should read this section carefully. All the
supply, demand, and analysis data bases have been updated since the last Data
Book was published; however, all reports are in the same format as the previ
ous edition.
Chapter IV describes the definition and format of the wage reports and
Chapter V describes the format and use of the industry/occupation matrix
reports. The Education/Training Program Inventories, previously published as
a separate companion document to the Data Book, are now included as a section
within the Data Book. Chapter VI describes this section.
Many of the data items in this publication are available for substate
geographic areas. However, since this document is restricted to statewide
summaries, substate reports must be requested from the MOICC office. A micro
computer system, called the MICRO-OIS, is also available for persons who are
interested in automated access to the state and substate occupational data
bases. The MICRO-OIS is a "user friendly" software system which allows you to
sort occupations within a specific geographic area based on employment levels,
growth rates, wages, or job openings. The user may also examine supply,
demand, and analysis reports for occupations, obtain a list of schools which
offer related programs, and find industries which use these skills. Further,
the system may be used to examine industries which are growing within a
geographic area and determine the occupations which they would customarily
use. Persons who are interested in the MICRO-OIS or any of the following
substate reports should contact the MOICC office.
