Publication Date: 12/08/2015
Document Type: Informational Pages
Sponsor: St. Louis Development Corporation

Summary
This report examines the construction trades and apprentice availability and utilization, and provides an evidence-based framework to support updated goals and recommendations for ensuring workforce goal compliance. Construction worker availability is based on United States Census (Census) data, and the availability of apprentices is based on Department of Labor (DOL), Employment and Training Administration (ETA), and Office of Apprenticeship Data (OA) data. The level of minority, female, and apprentice utilization will be determined through an analysis of St. Louis Agency for Training and Employment (SLATE) 2010-2011 and 2013 annual reports. The goal-setting process is based on an assessment of the availability of construction workers and apprentices in the relevant trades who reside in the jurisdictional boundaries of the City
of St. Louis.
