The aggregation of W-2s provided to state agencies is done at an occupation level. Through our AI technology and proprietary job mapping methodology, we can calculate job-specific salaries at today’s market rate by layering in our forecast.
Our job mapping database is a combination of proprietary research, surveys, job postings and our partnership with a global 3rd party payroll provider. After job mapping and ATILA (Automated Technology – Intelligent Learning Algorithm) technologies are applied, we validate against approximately 8.6 million paystubs.
Our team of economists, analysts and data scientists update forecasts key labor market data at least once per quarter, although most forecasts are updated at least two times per quarter. This means our data are always reflective of current and anticipated future labor market conditions, allowing business users to make decisions quickly and easily based on the most up-to-date economic data and projections.
For the Market Analysis feature, ThinkWhy updates data based on the published cycles of our source data. The timing of the different data sources varies monthly, quarterly, and annually. For data released on a monthly or quarterly basis, LaborIQ releases data on the day they are reported by the government agency. For annual data, LaborIQ releases the data after conducting quality assurance and variance analysis.
For Salary Answers and Team Benchmarking features, our salary and supply/demand modeling are updated and validated multiple times per month. Our base surveys are run on an annualized basis, and we use our proprietary forecasting and machine learning to bring salaries to current market rates.
LaborIQ’s team of economists and data scientists implements our proprietary methodology to provide the most up-to-date competitive salary recommendations. This proprietary process, called ATILA® Technology, includes a 5-step data refinement and validation process to provide superior compensation accuracy. superior compensation accuracy.
We begin with 8 main sources of data – including the state-reported W-2 wage data, labor market and demographic information, job postings and university data.
Then, our team of economists and data scientists conducts proprietary research, as well as econometric and statistical analysis on nearly 90 million salary data points to determine compensation for 1,400 occupations and 20,000+ job titles. Salaries are validated against 8.6 million paystubs from one of the nation’s largest payroll processing providers.
The result is precise, up-to-date compensation for 20,000+ job titles, across nearly 1,600 industries and for 388 markets, all varied by education and experience.
No one source of data provides a complete or comprehensive picture of the U.S. labor market. Our approach is to blend data from various resources to achieve the best current view.
• U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) • U.S. Census Bureau • U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) • Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (iPEDS)
Data is sourced, then assimilated into ThinkWhy’s proprietary database for use within LaborIQ. Data is analyzed using data science and econometric methods then adjusted for completeness, when necessary.
Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) – also called metro areas – are geographies including an urban core and the surrounding areas with a population greater than 50K. Metro boundaries are delineated by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Use the City-to-Metro lookup, located in Resources, to find your metro location by city.
LaborIQ reports on national labor market performance by Metropolitan Statistical Area (367 MSAs), Metropolitan Division (28 Metro Divisions), New England City and Town Area (21 NECTAs) and New England City and Town Area Division (10 NECTA Divisions), based on the boundaries and definitions issued by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB). LaborIQ updates boundaries as they are updated by the data source and may use crosswalks when boundary release times vary between sources.
LaborIQ produces a six-year forecast at the national, metro, occupation, and university levels.
In the Market Analysis feature: Labor market and demographic population data are forecasted for the top 150 MSAs (by population), 28 Metro Divisions (MDs) and 21 NECTAs. Occupation forecasts are provided for 367 MSAs and 21 NECTAs. University forecasts are provided for the top 150 MSAs as well as all metropolitan or micropolitan areas outside of the top 150 geographies where university enrollment is greater than 10,000.
