Where are the Jobs in Cook County?

Some industries and occupations, such as those that are heavily unionized and those that advertise through word of mouth, tend not to post openings online so may be underrepresented here. The data covers jobs that were available at any time during the quarter – these include positions that have been filled and postings that have been removed for other reasons. The data on high demand credentials is limited by the fact that the majority of job descriptions do not list any credentials. *We include skills as well as credentials for two fields: IT and manufacturing. Job postings in those fields tend to list specific specialized skills requirements that are not always tied to credentials. That list of skills is important for understanding the demand in those areas. In contrast, postings in the other occupational fields include more general skills requirements (management, sales, scheduling, decision making) and are therefore not included in this report.For more information on job postings data, please contact The Chicago Cook Workforce Partnership via our website http://workforceboard.org/reports/labor-market-data/
