CHIEF LABOR MARKET INFORMATION (M29)

The unemployment rate New Jersey publishes each month, the county-level job counts, and the industry and occupational projections that steer training money are all produced by one unit in the Department of Labor and Workforce Development. This title heads it.

The programmes are cooperative with the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, which sets the methods and funds much of the collection while the State does the sampling, the estimation and the release. Methodological independence is the whole value of the office, since the numbers get used politically the moment they are out.
