2018 Employer Needs Survey

The 2018 Employer Needs Survey, carried out by the Labor and Economic Analysis Division (LEAD) of the North Carolina Department of Commerce on behalf of the NCWorks Commission, asked over 2,000 business establishments about their hiring practices, with emphasis on hiring difficulties and workforce needs. In addition to an Overall sample of all industries, we surveyed Manufacturers and a set of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics-related industries (STEM). The survey also looked at several labor markets of differing sizes, recognizing that employers may have distinct needs depending on the size of the available labor force. The survey also examined difficulties hiring workers for positions requiring different levels of experience: entry-level (less than 1 year of experience), mid-level (2-4 years) and senior-level (5 years or greater).

While best practices help businesses achieve greater goals, they often fulfill a higher purpose: helping people become more successful. Our workforce board members are proud to have helped play even a small role in helping make dreams come true for so many people from North Carolina. These are the best of best practices.
