About This Report The Workforce Intelligence Network for Southeast Michigan (WIN) partnership is a collaboration of six Michigan Works! Agencies (MWAs) and ten community colleges across a 16-county region in Michigan. The counties in the WIN partnership include: Genesee, Hillsdale, Huron, Jackson, Lapeer, Lenawee, Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, Saint Clair, Sanilac, Shiawassee, Tuscola, Washtenaw, and Wayne, along with the City of Detroit.

This report highlights labor market information and real-time job posting data for the state of Michigan. A workforce overview is provided within identifying key components of the area’s labor market including labor force status, demographic, and commuting data. WIN’s analysis of online job postings, a proxy for employer demand, is a pioneering method for tracking the health of the labor market. This data is used to provide a real-time demand overview, detailing posting related findings for both employers and job seekers. WIN’s data and research team analyzes job posting data at the occupation level within eleven customized occupation groups built using specific Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) codes to provide more contextualized information. Occupation groups combine data for jobs with similar skillsets, educational attainment, and experience requirements, which provides a more in-depth snapshot of the current labor market when compared to traditional industry data based upon North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes. Occupation outlook sections utilize these metrics to identify and display the top in-demand jobs, their entry requirements, and their earning potential.

This report analyzes data in Michigan and includes summative data for the full calendar year of 2017.

CUSTOMER SERVICE OCCUPATION GROUP

State of Michigan | 2017 Introduction

The customer service group is the largest occupation group that WIN analyzes, both in terms of employment and online job postings. This group is of very high importance to the region because it is the first to grow when the economy expands and the first to contract in a downturn: it is often a leading indicator. The large number of postings for this occupation group are due in part to the relatively high worker turnover. As defined

by WIN, this group encompasses all customer service occupations, with skills transferrable across the retail sector, the hotel industry, food and beverage service industry, call centers, and other areas. These skills are also transferrable to publicfacing positions in many other occupation groups.
