Description
This annual publication contains long-term population, labor force, employment, and personal income projections for Washington State. The Office of Financial Management (OFM) Forecasting Division, and the Employment Security Department Labor Market and Economic Analysis Branch jointly prepare the labor force and employment projections. The forecast horizon extends from 2001 to 2026. The medium-term forecast for the 2001-2003 period is consistent with the February 2002 Economic and Revenue Forecast Council official state economic forecast.
In contrast to the short-term economic forecasts that focus on assessing business cycle conditions, long-term projections examine demographic trends, structural changes in industries, changes in production factors such as labor supply and capital investment, and technology/productivity advancements.
