Scope This report was produced by the Centers of Excellence, an Initiative of the California Community College Economic & Workforce Development Program, for Riverside Community College District. Data compiled in this report was extracted from the legally defined zip codes that comprise the Riverside Community College District service area. Data was drawn from external sources including EMSI software supported by Economic Modeling Specialists, Inc., California s Labor Market Information Division, and Environmental System Research Institute s (ESRI) GIS Business Analyst application (version 9.2) utilizing 2008 business data provided by InfoUSA. No primary research was conducted nor was industry validation conducted in compiling this report. Centers of Excellence The Centers of Excellence (COE), in partnership with business and industry, deliver regional workforce research customized for community college decision making and resource development. This information has proven valuable to colleges in beginning, revising, or updating economic development and Career Technical Education (CTE) programs, strengthening grant applications, assisting in the accreditation process, and in supporting strategic planning efforts. The Centers of Excellence are part of the California Community College s Economic and Workforce Development Network. The Centers aspire to be the premier source of regional economic and workforce information and insight for California s community colleges. More information about the Centers of Excellence is available at www.coeccc.net Data Sources and Calculations EMSI The COEs utilize data from Economic Modeling Systems Inc., formerly known as CCC Benefits. EMSI is a compilation and harmonization of more than 80 government and private-sector sources. Updated every six months and based on the most recent data available, the dataset covers the entire US population and economy, down to each individual ZIP code. It includes data for industries, occupations, demographics, postsecondary institutions, and selected economic indicators. ESRI The COEs utilize geospatial software to identify local trends, industry concentrations, and conduct demographic analyses for the community colleges. The California Community College system has an ongoing partnership with Environmental System Research Institute s (ESRI). The COEs use ArcGIS Business Analyst application (version 9.2) which uses 2008 business data provided by InfoUSA. Industry Data In order to capture a complete picture of industry employment, EMSI basically combines covered employment data from Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) produced by the Department of Labor with total employment data in Regional Economic Information System (REIS) Centers of Excellence 2008 3
published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), augmented with County Business Patterns (CBP) and Non-employer Statistics (NES) published by the U.S. Census Bureau. Projections are based on the latest available EMSI industry data, 15-year past local trends in each industry, growth rates in statewide and (where available) sub-state area industry projections published by individual state agencies, and (in part) growth rates in national projections from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Occupation Data Organizing regional employment information by occupation provides a workforce-oriented view of the regional economy. EMSI's occupation data is based on EMSI's industry data and regional staffing patterns (showing the average mix of job types in various industries) taken from the Occupational Employment Statistics program (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics). Wage information is augmented by data from the American Community Survey (U.S. Census). Replacement jobs and annual openings estimates are based on national survey data by occupation. As in the official government statistics, occupations are categorized by Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) codes and titles. State Data Sources This report uses state data from the California Labor Market Information Department (LMID). Important Disclaimer All representations included in this report have been produced from a secondary review of publicly and/or privately available data. Efforts have been made to confirm the accuracy of the data and the reported findings; however, neither the Centers of Excellence, COE host District, or California Community Colleges Chancellor s Office are responsible for applications or decisions made by recipient community colleges or their representatives based upon this report. How to Use This Customized Report The Centers of Excellence have undertaken Regional and College-Specific analyses to provide targeted and valuable information to community colleges on high growth industries and in-demand occupations. This report is intended to assist the decision-making process of California Community College administrators and planners in addressing local and regional workforce needs and emerging job opportunities in the workplace as they relate to college programs. The information contained in this report can be used to guide program offerings, strengthen grant applications, and support other economic and workforce development efforts. This report is designed to provide current industry data that will: Define potential strategic opportunities relative to an industry s emerging trends and workforce needs; Influence and inform local college program planning and resource development; and Promote a future-oriented and market responsive way of thinking among stakeholders.

SOC System APPENDIX A This analysis of occupations is based upon the Bureau of Labor Statistics Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system. The SOC system is used by federal and state statistical agencies to classify workers into occupational categories for the purpose of collecting, calculating, or disseminating data. All workers are classified into one of over 820 occupations according to their occupational definition. Every occupation is designated by a six-digit code. The first two digits of the SOC code represent the major group (e.g. Transportation and Material Moving Occupations). The third digit represents the minor group (e.g. Motor Vehicle Operators). The fourth and fifth digits represent the broad occupation (e.g. Driver/Sales Workers and Truck Drivers) and the detailed occupation is represented by the sixth digit (Truck Drivers, Heavy and Tractor-Trailer). For example: 53-0000 Transportation and Material Moving Occupations 53-1000 Supervisors, Transportation and Material Moving Workers 53-2000 Air Transportation Workers 53-3000 Motor Vehicle Operators 53-3010 Ambulance Drivers & Attendants, Except Emergency Medical Technicians 53-3020 Bus Drivers 53-3030 Driver/Sales Workers and Truck Drivers 53-3031 Driver/Sales Workers 53-3032 Truck Drivers, Heavy and Tractor-Trailer 53-3033 Truck Drivers, Light or Delivery Services The Centers of Excellence analyze California s workforce according to the 820 existing SOC codes. A complete description of all SOC codes is available on-line at http://www.bls.gov/soc/#classification. NAICS Codes The analysis of local businesses is based upon the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). NAICS codes are a system that classifies economic units (businesses) that have similar production processes or are in the same industry. They replaced the U.S. Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system in 2002 and better help us define and analyze our changing economy since the codes break down into more specific industries. In fact, NAICS codes classify businesses at the 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 digit levels. The more numbers in the code, the more specific the classification. Take for example the Construction industry: 23 CONSTRUCTION 236 Construction of Buildings 237 Heavy & Civil Engineering Construction 237310 Highway, Street & Bridge Construction 23731014 Road Oiling 23731020 Stripe Painters 237110 Water & Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction 23711014 Water Main Contractors 23711022 Water Pollution Control The Centers of Excellence have the capacity to analyze statewide and local businesses at varying NAICS code levels. For your reference, a spreadsheet of all NAICS code definitions is available for download at http://www.census.gov/epcd/naics02/index.html. Centers of Excellence 2008 9
