Introducing Alternative COVID Forecast!

Posted on August 6, 2020 by Avery Simmons

Are you wondering how COVID-19 will affect what jobs are in-demand in the next few years?

We’ve got a solution. The Chmura team is excited to announce that we’ve added an Alternative COVID Forecast to JobsEQ based on current expectations of when a vaccine will be available.

We’ve used our 30+ years of experience as PhD economists, Blue-Chip forecasters, and data scientists to add a model in JobsEQ that forecasts the near-term impact of COVID quarter-by-quarter.

You can use this forecast to see how occupations and industries will be affected by COVID-19. Now, you’ll feel confident that your plans are based on the most up-to-date and expert information available.

It’s even easy to compare the Alternative COVID Forecast to the pre-COVID forecast in our Forecast Comparison analytic.

  1. If you’re a JobsEQ client, log in to JobsEQ right now. It’s in any analytic with a Forecast dropdown menu.

JobsEQ by Chmura is the only labor market software in the world with a forecast that takes COVID-19 into account.

Our Assumptions

  • A vaccine for COVID-19 will be widely distributed by mid-2021.
  • Based on our forecast model, this means employment will likely reach pre-COVID levels around Q4 2021 to Q1 2022.
  • We will continue to monitor developments and update the COVID forecast at least quarterly.
