The EDD to Publish Updated California Jobs Market Briefing

In celebration of the upcoming Labor Day holiday, we will publish our annual labor market report that summarizes the current outlook of California’s labor market, featuring trending occupations and industries.

The forthcoming 2023 California Jobs Market Briefing, produced by the EDD’s Labor Market Information Division (LMID), will describe employment and job creation trends over the last year; highlight top, in-demand occupations along with the skills required and average salaries; and include a job seeker’s toolkit with resources and available services. Analysts will also detail the occupations that are expected to continue experiencing strong growth in the coming year. Look for more information to come showcasing services that connect workers with in-demand skills to employers in search of qualified candidates. Follow us on social media for an alert when this briefing is published and more great information for job seekers this Labor Day!

In addition, the LMID recently published a product designed to assist students and jobseekers with planning for their educational and career goals. The longstanding California Occupational Guides, a product which has been an EDD staple since the 1950s, has been reimagined and rebranded as a dynamic, interactive dashboard on our website.

Awarded the Best State Labor Market Information Product for Supporting Jobseekers by the LMI Institute in 2022, the new-look Occupational Guides allow users to sort through over 800 occupations; focus their research based on their preferences for desired wages, location, or educational requirements; and compare and contrast two to three desired occupations.
