The 2007 Fresno County Employment Study
Home :: Business Services :: The 2007 Fresno County Employment Study


This Study documents the results of the first phase of data analysis including information about labor force requirements, such as criminal screening, drug testing, wage rates and projections for future hiring. It also explores important business and industry driven projections based on a specific set of workforce indicators, including projected growth and expansion.

Our inclusive survey design has captured the full spectrum of employment needs and will prove useful in designing training programs to ensure a quality workforce is available for future employment demands. The regions economic potential and job growth is substantial in the following high-growth, high wage industries:
  • Agile Manufacturing
  • Agribusiness
  • Automotive Technology
  • Construction/Trades
  • Healthcare
  • Information Technology
  • Logistics/Distribution

The study also serves to heighten the awareness of the wide-spread workforce shortages across multiple sectors in the Central Valley.

Sharing up-to-date and reliable information about the region’s labor market with businesses, education and training providers and community and government leaders ensures more informed decisions can be made about staffing strategies, educational programs and curricula, workforce policy and career choices.
