Performing labor market and mitigation studies requires gathering and using specific information. Often, this information pertains to the plaintiff’s job search efforts within the labor market. For example, did the individual apply for jobs that matched their expertise and education level. Additionally, if an application is made to a different job, we must determine if the job qualifications are similar to their previous position.
Labor market data sources such as, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics labor market survey (BLS) and U.S Department of Labor’s ONET, are often used to analyze an individual’s potential job matches. It is through this type of research that an accurate picture of the plaintiff’s job search efforts can be measured and provide needed information in these types of labor market and mitigation studies.
