NY S08451

Requires the New York Department of Labor to establish and maintain a publicly accessible online database using statewide labor market data to identify regional labor market shortages, surpluses, and skills gaps.

Database must aggregate data by regional economic development regions and include priority industries such as healthcare, advanced manufacturing, applied technologies, information and computer technology, and education.

Database shall track specific occupations, median hourly wages by experience level, annual labor market demand, job openings, required education and training, degree and certificate earner numbers, worker deficits or surpluses, and skills gaps.

Includes income benchmarks by region and industry using poverty thresholds set by the New York state self-sufficiency standard steering committee.

Database must be publicly accessible within one year of the law's effective date and updated at least monthly thereafter.
