U. S. Economy
• Slow but steady growth out of a
shallow recession
• Global competition
• Geopolitical events
• Changing demographics
• Ubiquitous communications
U. S. Economy
• After a long rise out of the 90s and
the slowdown of the early 2000s,
patterns are unclear
• Does anyone really know what
time it is?
Competition--Private
• US labor competing on wage rates
and skills
• Private sector competition that
pushes out inefficiencies
• Private vs. public sector services
– Call centers
– Security services
Competition--Public
* Competition within government
– Federal Government competitions
– Within agency—turf battles
– Fed-state-local competition
• WIA example
• Competition is permanent feature
of our landscape
Privacy
• Digital technology and communications
have created new opportunities to profile,
target market, and, yes, invade privacy
• Competitive intelligence
• Concern over government use of
information
• Implications for survey collection
Globalism
• Digital technology, the prevalence of air
travel, and a weak dollar have started a
flood of goods, services, and culture
• Designed in the U.S., built elsewhere
• Designed and built elsewhere, sold here

Globalism
• Globalism within the U.S.—the ubiquitous
chain stores and restaurants in Anywhere ,
USA
• Our Global Face—Hollywood and American
Commercialism
• We are affecting, as well as being affected by
global trends and markets—culture, labor
and financial
• Do housing run-ups derive from Int’l mkts?
Globalism
• Where is this change most apparent?
• The West and the Pacific Rim
• Immigration, International Trade,
Culture
• Technology
• Perhaps the new vision for a global/local
village will develop here
EconoDemographics
• In the US and abroad, large shifts in
population—aging, immigration, and
participation
• Changing market baskets of goods and services
• New mix of labor supply—age and ethnicity
• Consequent budgetary implications

• Current debate over government’s role—
entitlement or empowerment
• What do we believe in, or aspire to, in our
society?
• How does our society pay for aspirations,
once we agree?
• Who pays the bills? Current or future
generations?

EconoDemographics
• What is the proper mix of aspiration
and practicality (the A/P index)
• The proportion of our dreams to our
means. What we can reasonably wish
for in our world in our time.
• What does that mean for those of us in
service and for our institutions?
BLS Federal and State
Programs
• Employers need accurate, impartial
information to make good business
decisions
• Many of the series are available at
National, State, and Metropolitan levels
• Internet-accessible, user-friendly,
reliable, consistent, etc.
• It may be necessary, but is it sufficient?
In Service: What do we
need to do?
• All the attention we have paid to digital
information has been valuable
• However, larger forces are acting in
unknown ways on our business
• Our business is becoming increasingly
competitive, global, and subject to
economic and demographic movements
In Service: What do we
need to do?
• Be ready to compete, understand our
world, and respond to changing needs in
the state, the nation, and the world
• Pay attention to the Power of Partnership
within our workforce information system
Mechanisms of
Partnership
• Workforce Investment Act of 1998
• Workforce Information Council
– BLS
– ETA
– Elected State Representatives
• Cooperative Management—A New
Governance
Mechanisms of
Partnership
• WIC Chartered Policy Councils and Work
Groups
– BLS Programs
• CES
• LAUS/MLS
• OES
• QCEW
– Work groups on Confidential Data, Job
Vacancies and Benefits Surveys
Benefits of Partnership
• Cooperative Management Works to the
Benefit of Both Federal and State
Programs
• Joint Plans Build on the Strengths in
Federal and State Agencies—Funding,
Expertise, Customer Focus, and Local
Knowledge
Benefits of Partnership
• Collaboration between federal and state
partners—the ALMIS Database
• Collaboration across states--various
“Front-End” Efforts Like Workforce
Explorer
• Supporting a system of information
• Developing a shared vision
Evidence of Demand
• LMI Web sites had 34 million sessions in
2004
• 17 million copies of LMI publications
distributed
• Training and service
• Improved products and services
• This conference
The Logical Consequence
• Global, competitive economy affects
private and public business
• Shared governance and collaboration
supports efficiency and customer
demands
• We are better together than the sum of
our parts
The Logical Consequence
• Example in BLS programs
– Improved Statistical Measures—core
function
– BLS/Census Joint Efforts--demand
– Location Quotient Calculator--demand
– Geographic Information System Mapping—
demand
• Ongoing improvements testify to the
power of partnership
