Bill Berry
Research Coordinator
Central Pennsylvania Workforce Development Corporation
When Bill Berry needs to crunch labor market numbers, he turns to EMSI’s web-based analysis tool. As a research coordinator who collaborates with workforce development professionals across Pennsylvania, Berry has to dig in and analyze industry and occupation data on a regular basis. He enjoys the ease of selecting different regions in EMSI’s tool with a few mouse clicks. The ability to combine counties from different states is also a plus. He and his coworkers at the Central Pennsylvania Workforce Development Corporation recently helped a workforce investment board in Pennsylvania that needed data for a report on three counties in Ohio (Mahoning, Columbiana, and Trumbull) and two in Pennsylvania (Lawrence and Mercer). The WIB wanted to show how far its potential labor pool extended. “That was a pretty big deal for them,” Berry says. “I think they were impressed with the quality and extent of the data available.”
