Commonwealth of Massachusetts Michael S. Dukakis, Governor Digitized by the Internet Archive 2014 in https://archive.org/details/jobguideforhuman01 The Job Guide: Volume 1 / ?4» C 116 Waf»vf D=S DIVISION OF «r EMPLOYMENT SECURITY CENTERFORLABORMARKETSTUDIES Foreword The Massachusetts Division of Employment Security has supported and encouraged the development of these Job Guides as a practical tool essential to the work of career guidance and vocational counselors and job development and placement professionals throughout the Commonwealth. The Guides represent our continued commitment to improving our labor market information system by providing usable products and by fostering pragmatic and informed use of labor market data through our publications and training programs. We have long recognized that counselors and placement professionals, as well as others who help students and adults define their career goals and secure jobs, are in need of more than just statistical data on industry and occupational employment trends if they are to perform their jobs well. They must also be able to relate the above types of information to more specific knowledge of economic establishments in Massachusetts and the occupational and industrial structure within which they operate. To provide employment and training professionals with this essential information, complementing the many other data series developed by our agency, we undertook the task of updating and reissuing the Guides. The Job Guides have been published in a set of three volumes. Volumes I and II provide name and address listings for economic establishments employing 20 or more individuals within each Service Delivery Area (SDA) in Eastern Massachusetts (Volume I) and Central and Western Massachusetts (Volume II). The listings for the smaller Berkshire and Franklin/Hampshire SDAs in Volume II include establishments which employ 10 or more individuals. Employers are listed by industry. They are further grouped by size-class (in descending order according to size-class range) within each three-digit Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) industry. Volume III consists of two sections. The first section contains a User's Guide that describes in detail several ways in which the Guides can be used in the development of an overall strategy to guide career counseling and job development and placement efforts. The process outlined in the Guides is also useful for directing individual job search, for planning education and training programs, and for design- ing marketing strategies for employer services activities. Volume III also presents an Industry/Occupation Matrix for Massachusetts. Part A of the Matrix presents staffing pattern data for Massachusetts industries, by providing information on the level and percent distribution of occupations within these industries. Occupations composed of at least 50 individuals or representing 0.5 percent of total industry employment on a statewide basis are included. Part B of the Matrix presents data on the industrial distribution of workers employed in key occupations in the state. The listing includes all industries that employ at least 50 individuals statewide in a given occupation as well as those industries that employ at least 0.5 percent of the total individuals in an occupation. 1 The Guides represent one part of a more comprehensive effort being made by the Division to increase awareness of labor market information and promote its effective use. In addition to republishing the Guides the Division, in cooperation with the , Massachusetts Occupational Information Coordinating Committee (MOICC), will continue to sponsor training in the use of labor market and occupational information for counseling and job development and placement. The Guides are an important element in making effective use of labor market data, because they provide a critical link between the employment numbers and the real world of employers and jobs. It is important that all of us throughout the education and employment and training system, who are engaged in helping individuals to find satisfying jobs and achieve successful careers, have at our disposal the most complete and comprehensive information available. One of our goals at the Division of Employment Security is to ensure that we do have that information. Kristin S. Demong Director 2 Acknowledgments Successful completion of the task of producing the Job Guides required the efforts and abilities of a number of individuals at the Center for Labor Market Studies and the Division of Employment Security (DES). Kristin Demong, Marlene Seltzer, and Robert Vinson of the DES provided continuous personal and financial support for this project. Their support, together with the day-to-day guidance and camaraderie of Mr. Vinson, enabled us to produce this set of documents designed to meet the needs of counselors and job placement professionals. A key element in the success of a project such as this is the quality of staff assigned to complete it. Marilyn Boyle of the Massachusetts Occupational Information Coordinating Committee, together with Paul Harrington and Andrew Sum of the Center for Labor Market Studies, organized the project and directed its operation on a day- to-day basis. Elliot Winer, Mary Ellen Steller, Martha Dailey, Paul Capodanno and Nancy Klayman of the Industry/Occupation Research Unit of the DES provided critical support in making available data bases on staffing patterns and establishment listings. Lebarron Briggs IV and William Goedicke of the Center for Labor Market Studies provided high quality computer support to this project. Tom McDonald, Bill Ryan and Gary Lariviere provided computer processing assistance at DES. Linda Harrington provided editorial support for the publication of the Volumes. Even a casual inspection of the Guides would reveal that many tedious hours of checking and cross- checking address listings and industry-occupation matrix findings were required. Fortunately, we had access to an extraordinarily bright, hardworking, and cheerful group of research assistants who energetically undertook this task. Special thanks must go to Francine Clark, Mary J. Cote, Linda Gorton, Julie Joyce, Kim Kevorkian, Anna Magliocco, Mary McCallion, Cheryl Milanette, Heidi Nelson, Nancy Radicchi, and Susan Wollins of the Center for Labor Market Studies and Frank Bellino, Jeanne Goggin, and Janet McCarthy of DES. Without the enthusiastic hard work of these young persons, these Guides would not have been completed. Finally, Keith Hoffman and Sheila Palma of the Center for Labor Market Studies deserve high praise for their patience in typing and editing these Guides As . always, Ms. Palma's dedication and enthusiasm enabled the project to be successfully completed. 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS Page 5 SIC Industry Title 7 Service Delivery Area City and Town Listing Service Delivery Areas 9 Northern Middlesex 21
