This report builds on the regional labor market profiles released in 2012 and recommends steps that local and state leaders can take, drawing on both data profiles and practical successes of regional leaders.

The Skills Gap: Supply and Demand in the Massachusetts Economy series is a joint project of Commonwealth Corporation and the New England Public Policy Center of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. In 2012, 8 regional labor market trends profiles were released, providing a detailed picture of regions’ current and future labor supply.
