combination of primarily state and national and
institutional organizational units.  Because the
Occupational Supply Demand System (OSDS)

design of educational and labor market
information, the OSDS has become an important
tool with which State Higher Education Officers
are planning the alignment of higher education to
the future U.S. economy.
