The supply and demand report compares online job postings and data on unemployment insurance claimants and provides a gap analysis for occupations. The annual version also considers the number of college graduates entering the workforce.
You can use this report to see where job openings outnumber available workers or where more people are seeking work than there are jobs. You can also use it to guide training or planning decisions by comparing employer demand with the number of jobseekers in each field.

About this dashboard
The supply demand report is aggregated at the Workforce Development Area (WDA) level due to the conditions of our partner contract. Visit the Washington workforce site to see a map and learn more about the individual WDAs.
The Supply and Demand view in the Data and Gap analysis tab is a table we categorize by the latest month's UI claimant and Help Wanted OnLine® (HWOL) organized by occupation (O*NET/SOC codes) at the two- and three-digit level.
