5. Data Gaps for Youth
Job Openings
• Many existing websites for current postings
• Limited information on the future
Wages
• Data available, but may not be well-structured
• More up-to-date and relevant wage information needed
Skills
• A huge data gap
• Education is a common proxy, but need better methods
Small gap
Large gap
6. Skill demand by proxy: NOC
4-digit NOC codes are associated with the “typical education” required
for the job:
Level A : University degree (bachelor’s, master’s or doctorate)
Level B : Some post-secondary education, college and apprenticeship
Level C : Completion of secondary school, and some occupation training
Level D : Below secondary school, and on-the-job training
National Occupational Classification (NOC) “Skill Level”
7. Job Market Requires Higher Education
Employment share on Ontario jobs by NOC “Skill Level”
8. But Educational Attainment increased faster
Share of young workers (15 to 34) with greater educational attainment
than is required by their occupation
9. Overqualification doesn’t pay for youths (15-34)
Average earnings in “Level B” and “C” occupations by relative education level
Level B : Some post-secondary education, college and apprenticeship
Level C : Completion of secondary school, and some occupation training
10. It really doesn’t pay for young men (15-34)
Level B : Some post-secondary education, college and apprenticeship
Level C : Completion of secondary school, and some occupation training
Average earnings in “Level B” and “C” occupations by relative education level
11. Getting the Information out there:
Skills, Wages and Training
Need better definition and measurement of skills
• A common taxonomy for skills
• Leverage new data sources (e.g., job posting data)
Wage data needs to meet the needs to youth and other user
groups
• LMIC is conducting focus groups with college and university
students across the country
• Feedback and insights will inform the pilot project for the
LMIC Data Hub
