Industrial Labor Market Forecaster™ For the United States and Canada

Providing Historical And Forward-Looking Custom Craft Labor Analytics

Analyze Labor Supply & Demand Dynamics, Wage Rate, Estimated Travelers, Per Diems & Utilization Rates

As part of our forecasting solutions, Industrial Info provides a unique view of the historical, current and future supply, demand and wage rate forecasts, estimated travelers, per diems and utilization rates for skilled craft labor. Sizing future supply and demand across multiple crafts by labor hours, headcount and cost of labor enables our subscribers to support their labor planning, deployment and strategies and their longer-term training and recruitment initiatives, so that they are completely aligned to the current and future needs of the market.

Our labor market intelligence is derived from the forward-looking and historical project information available in our online database platform that includes more than 95,000 capital projects as well as maintenance turnarounds, outages and shutdowns within the United States and Canada. Our modeling captures total spending for the market, using historical and future project information, leading economic indicators, as well as commodity and labor pricing forecasts to establish our estimates for each year.
