2008 Workforce Study
The Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce, in conjunction with the Nashville Career Advancement Center and the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development, has released the results of a comprehensive study of Middle Tennessee's workforce characteristics and conditions.
The first-ever endeavor, which was conducted by the Arlington, Va.-based Center for Regional Economic Competitiveness, particularly examines workforce supply and demand situations through 2017; occupational, education and skill matches with area programs in higher education; career pathways data; and changing dynamics of jobs and industry sectors. The study also incorporates insight on emerging career fields, demographic changes and current migration and commuting patterns.
Analysis was based on data from local colleges and universities, area employers and a wide range of newly synthesized workforce information. The data were compiled for the 10-county Nashville Economic Market, resulting in data sets that have not previously been available.
