Monday, January 11 2016
In light of todays
job market, whether
hiring a new CEO, a
construction manager
or a customer service
representative, smart
leaders understand
that it is crucial to hire
the right employee the
first time. Almost all
of us have experienced
the pain of hiring the
wrong person. The
costs of hiring an
employee who either
does not have the skills
to do the job, or more
often, who simply
doesnt fit well within
your organizational
culture, is too great
and takes up valuable
time.

igh Priority Occupations (HPO) are jobs that are in demand by employers, have higher skill needs and provide family sustaining wages, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry. Their designations
are based on regional occupation needs and opportunities, and
they influence the distribution of training dollars.
Talent shortages werent something hiring managers thought
about as the recession hit. If anything, they were overwhelmed
with applicants for whom there were no openings. But as the
recovery took hold, skilled workers became more of a rarity.
During the peak of the recession, there were 6.8 unemployed
people for every job opening. Today, that ratio has declined
to 1.5, according to the most recent Job Openings and Labor
Turnover Survey from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
According to ManpowerGroups annual Talent Shortage
Survey, 42 percent of surveyed employers reported difficulty
hiring qualified personnel, and skilled trade workers lead the
list for the sixth straight year. This group of occupations shows
a particular need for chefs/bakers/butchers, mechanics and
electricians.
The impact of an unfilled position goes beyond just the loss of

Every two years the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics updates their
projections for future employment over a 10year period. The most recent release in December looks ahead for the 2014-2024 time
span, and something has changed.
For the first time, health care occupations
and industries are expected to have the fastest
employment growth and add the most new
jobs, surpassing the professional and business services major sector. This shouldnt be
too surprising, given that the labor force is aging, and the number of people entering prime
retirement age is growing. The median age of
the labor force was 37.7 in 1994, 41.9 in 2014,
and is projected to be 42.4 in 2024.
The top five fastest-growing industries, with
another three in the top 20, are all within the

Lancaster Countys high priority occupations bear out the national story as
close to 540 annual health care openings are projected. Fastest growing are veterinary technologists and diagnostic medical sonographers, but the largest necessity by sheer numbers is within the various nursing occupations. Of the 539
annual openings, 65 percent are nursing. One local facility has 17 licensed practical or registered nurse positions and another five nursing assistant positions
open right now. The need is real and growing.
But not everyone is comfortable caring for patients in a hands-on manner. For
others, occupations such as pharmacy technician, medical record technician or
medical secretary might hold more appeal. And health care cant be delivered
in and of itself. There are all sorts of supporting roles, from financial, facilities
management, information systems, nutritional services, social work, transportation the list goes on.
We all need health care, and that need is only getting greater as we as a community and nation age. With so many varied jobs, there is a role for just about
everyone, and these jobs arent going anywhere.

recreation at 13 percent, and professional and technical services and agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting, both north of 11 percent.
Thats only a portion of the story, though, as its hard to tell whos hired from
this. A new business may have only one employee wearing all the hats. So where
have the jobs come from?
Lancaster Countys employment growth has kept pace with establishment
growth, adding almost 9,000 jobs (4.4 percent). While almost 61 percent of net
new jobs (5,454) came from five sectors, health care and social assistance has
unmistakably been the main driver with over 2,100 jobs. (See accompanying
graphic.)
The categories are mostly self-explanatory, although other services is maddeningly vague. What does it actually mean? According to the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, its basically a hodgepodge:
The Other Services (except public administration) sector comprises establishments engaged in providing services not specifically provided for elsewhere
in the classification system. Establishments in this sector are primarily engaged
in activities, such as equipment and machinery repairing, promoting or administering religious activities, grantmaking, advocacy, and providing dry cleaning
and laundry services, personal care services, death care services, pet care services, photofinishing services, temporary parking services and dating services.
For Lancaster County, 50 percent of the employment growth in this category
has come from automotive repair and maintenance.
Theres much more detail that can be discussed, but for now the main takeaways are that Lancaster County has been growing faster than the state and

with software developers, applications, growing by 213 percent with a substantial 340 new jobs. Whats even more interesting is that median wages (half of earners make more, half
make less) have actually decreased by 1.7 percent to just under
$70,000.
The fourth fastest-growing occupation is yet again in a different sector, this time within business and financial. Meeting,
convention and event planners also added 80 jobs, increasing
200 percent. Median wages fell for this profession, as well, by
almost 2.5 percent, to $44,460.
Rounding out the top five, within the personal care and service sector, are personal care aides, adding almost 1,570 jobs,
a gain of 189 percent. This job pays below Lancaster Countys
median of $35,540, at $22,750. Wage growth is slower as well,
at 7.4 percent.
The professions that add the most new positions overall start
with a high employment base and are almost always at the lower end of the education and pay scale. The top five jobs are in
five different sectors: personal care, food preparation and serving, office and administration, sales and transportation. Job
growth in each is faster than Lancaster Countys overall, while
wage growth is below and negative in three of the five.

THINKSTOCK
Ask anyone what their employee benefits are, and they usually
rattle off the standard health care, retirement, holiday and vacation
package.
Benefits are expensive. Companies are trying to control benefit
costs as part of their overall operating cost maintenance while also
attracting and retaining a competitive workforce.
The annual cost of benefits per employee ranges from under
$5,000 to over $20,000, with most in the $5,000 to $9,999 range,
according to the 2015 Benefits Strategy & Benchmarking Survey by
Arthur J. Gallagher & Co., an insurance brokerage and risk management firm.
Health care remains the top-rated benefit for employees due to its
high and rising cost. And companies, for the most part, are maintaining their commitment to a healthy workforce and wellness programs. Some of the various components include flu shots, weight
management, tobacco cessation and group health challenges.
But what about above-and-beyond benefits? Companies are tryBENEFITS, page 11

Family focus
This trend goes beyond standard maternity leave covered by law. Just as
discussions of work-life balance have become more acceptable, expanded
paid parental leave for both moms and dads, and paid adoption leave, are a
response to societal shifts.
With millennials as well as Gen X having children, this is one benefit with
wide interest. Employers recognize that a paid-leave employee is more likely to return to their job, thus reducing turnover.
Volunteer time
Allowing employees a number of hours (typically eight) per year to volunteer in their community is attractive to millennials. While many companies
have corporate social responsibility programs, millennials are more interested in volunteering for the causes theyre passionate about, which may not
The Four Seasons Family of Companies, located in Ephrata, PA,
provides reliable solutions for fresh produce distribution through a

Sunrise Logistics, Inc., Earth Source Trading, Inc. and Four Seasons
Produce, Inc., are deeply rooted in a tradition of excellence, a heart for service and a desire to
grow mutually beneficial partnerships. COME JOIN OUR FAMILY!
This benefit may just be the most highly coveted of them all for millennials. Offered by just 3 percent of companies right now, according to the Society for Human Resource Managements 2015 Employee Benefit Survey, this
may be the beginning of a trend.
Iontuition, a student loan management platform, found that nearly 80
percent of surveyed individuals with student loan debt would like to work
for a company that offers repayment assistance.
The share of graduates with debt held steady from 2014 at 70 percent, but
the amount of debt keeps growing, this year to an average of $35,051, according to Evisors.com. In 2004, the amount was $18,550, according to the Institute for College Access and Success.
While an employers contributions wont repay the entire debt, they certainly can go a long way in helping the burden become more manageable.
Some firms require the employee to have been with the company for a fixed
period of time prior to receiving the benefit. Amounts are capped, usually
$7,000 to $10,000, with annual lump sum payments or monthly payments
of about $100 to $250.
Another way companies are approaching this is to offer loan refinancing.
This benefit may be trendy, but to the millions who owe, this is one employer
perk that cant come too soon.
