Additional Analysis and Reports

The USEER data base includes detailed data for the 53 separate technologies that comprise the five surveyed sectors.  Each of these technologies is, in turn, divided into as many as seven industrial classifications.  As a result, the USEER data base can provide an in-depth view of the hiring difficulty, in-demand occupations, and demographic composition of very specific portions of the energy and energy efficiency workforce in each state or in specific counties and, in some cases, portions of counties.  In addition, the USEER data base can provide year over year comparisons in specific sectors, technologies, and industrial classifications at the state and county level.
