Texas Supply/Demand Information System for Vocational Education. Final Report.
Texas Education Agency, Austin.
Principal objectives of a Texas project conducted from July 1974 through December 1976 were to complete the research, development, and implementation of statewide matching of supply by occupation (those available for employment) to demand by occupation (employment opportunities). The problem was approached through a modular system consisting of three main subsystems: Supply, demand, and match subsystems. "A Labor Market Supply/Demand Report--One Year Projection (1977)" is the result of these matchings. It was concluded that a great need exists for better data definitions and collection systems, and that an ever increasing necessity for supply/demand data mandates continued manpower data research. In addition standardized occupational and educational coding structures should be initiated at the Federal, State, and local levels. (The projection report is included along with notes on its data limitations. An extensive appendix includes a numerical and alphabetical index to U.S. Office of Education clusters, an index to occupations, techniques used for allocations of demand, several course/occupation linkage codes, and a list of substate supply/demand reports and additional documents which are available.)
