SkillTRAN, LLC
December 2011
Online Service Updates – Employers & LMI
SkillTRAN has updated a number of important files in its popular online services. SkillTRAN has changed to a new provider for employer listings (useful for Labor Market Survey/Sampling and Cold Job Search). These listings cover only employers with 10 or more employees, where most of the new hiring is likely to happen. Your “hit rate” during survey should be significantly improved since the random selection process will not be skewed by the abundance of smaller, more volatile employers. Let us know how it works out for you! Other updated data files include:
OES 2010 - Occupational Employment Numbers and Wages as reported May 2011 for May 2010
2008-2018 - Long Term Employment Projections
2006 NOC Codes (Canadian National Occupational Classification)
O*NET 2009, O*NET 2010 Codes & CENSUS 2010 Codes
PREPOST Customers (12/3/2011):
Customers who use the PREPOST service will be pleased to know that the feature for Labor Market information (US National and Local Estimated Wages) has been restored and uses the 2010 CENSUS data. We apologize for the issues you may have experienced with this aspect of the system during the last several weeks.

Browser Pro Update - Version 1.6.5
You may not notice a lot of big changes, as we choose to continue a similar look and feel. However, a number of new code systems have been added to align with changes made by the U.S. Department of Labor. These include the addition of several new occupational coding systems, including:
SOC 2010 - Standard Occupational Classification (used for OES Employment Numbers and Wages)
O*NET 2009 - Used by the O*NET systems until Fall 2011
O*NET 2010 - Used by O*NET going forward beginning Fall 2011
CENSUS 2010 - In use by the Current Population Survey, with reporting to begin January 2011
All of these codes can now be seen in the Quick View Codes section when a DOT description is displayed (Detailed Job Specialty).
FRESH DATA FILES have been added as follows:
OES 2010 - Occupational Employment Numbers and Wages as reported May 2011 for May 2010
2008-2018 - Long Term Employment Projections
Revised "Top Jobs" - using the 2008-2018 Occupational Projections
Part-Time Percentages have been updated using the 2009 American Community Survey public microdata set. Formerly, these values were based on a 3-year rolling average and published in the Occupational Projections and Training Data (OPTD) by U.S. Dept. of Labor. US DOL used the ACS data to prepare the 3-year rolling average. SkillTRAN has chosen to use only the most current available year (2009) as it will be more sensitive to changes in our economy.
Since most citations of SkillTRAN's data sources are for legal purposes, formatting has been changed to align with the legal "Bluebook" style rather than the APA style of citation.
2006 NOC Codes (Canadian National Occupational Classification) have been added to the QuickView display.
We will have 2010-2011 Occupational Outlook Handbook added soon as well.
You will notice a fresh graphic of a "Windmill" on the Interest search button and a re-wording of the Interest codes to "RIASEC Interest Coding". You can use any Interest inventory to generate a RIASEC code, enter it here with a range of SVP. Then you can drill down to specific DOT occupations within that range through O*NET groups. Very handy for career exploration and planning.
The SOC / O*NET code search now uses the newest SOC 2010 coding system. We have discontinued access to the very old OES codes. It will be replaced soon with a new search. Stay tuned!
On the Detailed Job Specialty screen, the ONET Online button will take you directly to the O*NET DOT crosswalk page. You can choose on O*NET code to search from there, and a level of reporting detail.
The Physical Demands button now shows a full listing of all the various Physical Demand characteristics and Environmental Conditions. Previously, it had reported only the conditions that showed Occasional, Frequent, or Constant frequency.
