Book excerpt: "In 2014 and 2015, the Nebraska Departments of Labor and Economic Development led efforts to conduct two surveys regarding the skills of workers and skill needs of employers in the Omaha area: the Nebraska Metro Area Labor Availability Survey and the Greater Omaha Survey of Workforce Needs. The surveys also asked about training requirements and needs. The current study utilizes the results of both surveys as well as secondary data about the Omaha area economy to summarize information about job skills and whether a skills gap is found within the region. ... Results of the study suggest that the aggregate annual flow of individuals into the workforce in the Omaha area is slightly less than the projected annual needs of businesses due to net job growth and turnover (i.e., exits from the workforce)" (page i).
