Welcome to the Analyst Resource Center!

BLS recently premiered a new publication called Beyond the Numbers. This publication will serve as a source of timely, interesting analysis of BLS data and trends. Beyond the Numbers brings together the analyses previously found in Issues in Labor Statistics, Focus on Prices and Spending, Program Perspectives, Regional Reports, and OES Highlights. The first article in Beyond the Numbers, "International air passenger fares shrug off the recession," discusses how the price of international airfare changed during and after the recent global recession. The second article, "How new fees are affecting the Producer Price Index for air travel," examines how the introduction of baggage and cancellation fees affects the price of domestic airfare.

The U.S. Department of Labor recently announced a new online tool that will allow current and prospective health care workers to explore more than 80 different occupations, identify local education and training programs, and tap into current job listings. Through the Virtual Career Network, users also can learn how previous experience such as military or on-the-job training can be applied toward a health care career, take free online courses and find sources of financial aid.

The Workforce3One April newsletter has been published. It contains several features that may be of interest to the workforce information community, including: The Career pathways Webinar Series is Underway! and Competency Model Clearinghouse User Guides.

The Workforce3One web site also features the recently recorded webinar Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Employment Outlook Long Term Projections. It is not necessary that you have an account on the site in order to view either resource.

The U.S. Census Bureau and Local Employment Dynamics Partnership Steering Committee are presenting this webinar to highlight features of OnTheMap.
