Labor market data can be fragmented and complex, and not truly reflective of the actual workforce. Our dashboard creates clarity so that educators, employers, and the public sector can build their healthcare workforce strategies with confidence based on data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and compare that data with that provided by the Division of Professional Regulation. With this dashboard, you can view county profiles, job trends and forecast, median salary (the latest available from the Bureau), job postings data across 5-year and 60-day periods, job postings data (US data versus Delaware data), 5-year trends in average salary. All data can be viewed as aggregate, or more granularly by occupation filter.

BLS employment vs. DELPROS licensed providers — why they differ: BLS monthly employment figures are sample-based estimates. DELPROS data are exact counts.
BLS counts people employed in an occupation (employer survey); DELPROS counts people with an active Delaware professional license. Large gaps are common because many healthcare workers (nursing assistants, medical assistants, pharmacy technicians, and others) are included in BLS employment but do not hold a Delaware license; some licensees are retired or not currently practicing; one person may hold multiple license types counted separately by occupation; and county/ZIP employment is estimated by allocating state BLS totals while DELPROS uses license practice addresses.
