Effort Index, Gap Intensity by Industry, for Selected County

Effort Index:

We developed this index as an easy way to quickly discern how difficult it is to fill positions by industry and within different counties. The value displayed is the ratio of the total number of job postings divided by the number of unique jobs posted. In other words, if there are 4 unique jobs that are posted, and a total of 12 postings, then on average each job had to be posted 3 times. The “Effort Index” in this case would be “3”, i.e., 12 total postings divided by 4 unique postings.

Gap intensity:

Gap Intensity modifies the Effort Index based upon the ratio between the total number of jobs and the unique postings in an industry. If there are a lot of posting in a particular industry, for example, the Gap Intensity will be greater. But if the industry only has a few postings compared to the number of existing jobs, the Gap Intensity will be lower. In other words, the Gap Intensity is a measure of the relative magnitude of the total hiring challenge.

Notes:

  • Since both the Effort Index and the Gap Intensity are ratios, none of them shows the absolute number of jobs or postings. This graph is intended as "heat map", an indicator of where we probably could spend some more time zeroing in on the absolute numbers for that county and industry. Other graphs will have that information.
  • Missing industry data (mostly in small counties) is due to suppressed data from the BLS or insufficient reporting from EMSI (i.e. that county/industry doesn't use online job postings to hire positions).
  • The added postings data (total and unique) comes from each individual county. There are slight differences between that and the total amounts informed for the whole state.
