Using the Bureau of Labor Statistics

[Neil Schoepp]

I am attempting to do some market research. It was suggested to me to go to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics and do a search for "forecasted job growth".  The results all seem to be based on occupations as opposed to cities. I did searches for "forecasted job growth by city" and "forecasted job growth by MSA". I also clicked around to no avail.

Finally, I'll get to my question.

1. Is there a way to see forecasted job growth broken down by city? If so would you be so kind to lead me in the correct direction.

Ultimately I want to be able to look at the data and say ok the five areas (down to specific cities/towns/MSAs) in the country that have the largest job growth are............ and then concentrate on these areas to rule them out.

Is it out there? What should I be doing to find it?

I am having the same issue searching on the BLS website and not finding the cities with projected job growth and highest job growth over the past 2 years. Were you able to find this info @Neil Schoepp
