The COVID-19 pandemic created changes in regional labor markets throughout the United States; some changes will continue to have effects until 2025 and perhaps beyond. The North Bay Employment Connection (NBEC) commissioned this study of six counties and their pre-pandemic trends and potential forecasts for regional employers’ demand for workers, occupational demand for specific types of jobs, and the skills most needed as a result of demand in those occupations. These six counties in California are: Lake, Marin, Mendocino, Napa, Solano, and Sonoma.
