RWS 305 San Diego State University Labor Marketing Analysis I need an analysis paper about business management. It is due june 15th 5pm. I have attached all the documents the professor has provided me with. Let me know if anything else is needed. Notes Concerning the Labor Market Analysis Report
The purpose of the labor market analysis report is to expose you to a source of information that
describes the training, potential pay, and job growth projections over the next decade, among
other things. Many students have not previously considered this information when deciding
upon a major. My interest is that you have a better understanding of the labor market into which
you will entering following your graduation from SDSU. Also important is that you are aware of
your strengths and weaknesses and can discuss both confidently in writing and orally when asked
by a potential employer. To that end, the latter part of the assignment, the conclusion,
specifically, asks you to evaluate your strengths and weaknesses. This is something that many
people find difficult to do, so using this assignment as a first step in the process of discovering
what you have to offer a potential employer, I have chosen to embed this task in the labor market
analysis report assignment.
Citing Information from the Bureau of Labor Market Database
A concern that many of you have, and a good concern at that, is that you do not want to
plagiarize the Bureau of Labor Market database information you are citing. Here is an idea that
may help you avoid this problem: as you read each of the sections in the database that pertain to
the questions you are answering (e.g., “Nature of the Work”), cover up the text you have just
read and imagine that you are explaining that same information to someone who knows nothing
of your career field. Write that information in your own words, and you will be able to avoid
plagiarizing the information in the database. For good measure, use various statements to refer
to the source of your information (e.g., “According to the Bureau of Labor statistics. . .”; use the
initials BLS in parentheses after text that you paraphrase). For any text that you must quote, use
quotation marks before and after that information along with the “(BLS)” notation indicated
above.
Labeling and Discussing Graphs, Charts, and Tables
As explained in the assignment prompt, you need to include at least two graphs, charts, and/or
tables to represent quantitative information in your report. Each graph, chart, and table must be
labeled with a title using this format: “Figure 1: title.” Use the word “figure” with graphs and
charts and “table” with tables of numeric information. Below the graph, chart, or table, list the
source for the information you have used. In the text before or after your graph, chart, or table,
describe the contents of that element. In other words, what is the reader looking at? After you
describe the contents of each graph, chart, or table, you need to interpret that information. For
example, why is the salary for one profession higher than another?
You may be wondering why I am asking you to write a report rather than an essay. One of the
most common forms of organizational communiqué is the short report. Reports are a genre unto
themselves. They tend to be concise and highly structured, with specific constraints concerning
the format. I have mentioned the constraints for the report you will be writing in the prompt.
Note the requirements for line spacing, text alignment, and use of graphs, charts and tables,
among other features.
1
Discussing Your Strengths and Weaknesses
The prompt asks you to describe and discuss your strengths and weaknesses as part of your
conclusion. For many people, this can be difficult to do, yet you are very likely to be asked to
discuss your strengths and weaknesses during an interview. Successful candidates should know
the answers to these questions going into an interview. To help you adequately answer these
questions, below I list a number of questions that will help you provide insightful answers:
•
Why did you choose your career field?
•
What is its appeal to you? Why did you not major in something else?
•
What skills do you possess that have equipped you for your career field?
•
What have people said you are good at?
•
In what subjects have you succeeded?
•
What courses have you liked the most?
•
What are your deficits? In what areas do you need to develop?
•
What do you need to do to strengthen the areas that are currently weaknesses?
•
What have you done or will do to increase your knowledge and skills in your career
field? What is your growth plan?
You do not need to answer these questions in the order they are listed here. You may even
choose to combine answers. The point is, by answering these questions you will address the
broad questions in the prompt that ask you to discuss your strengths and weaknesses.
I would suggest that you also look at the example papers I have placed on Blackboard.

Labor Market Analysis of a Physiatrist
Nature of the Work:
According to the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
(AAPMR), physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) physicians, also known as
physiatrists, treat a wide variety of medical conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord,
nerves, bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, and tendons. Physiatrists evaluate and treat
injuries, illnesses, and disability, and are experts in designing comprehensive, patientcentered treatment plans. They utilize cutting‐edge as well as time‐tested treatments to
maximize function and quality of life.
Physiatrists specifically do the following:
• Treat patients of all ages
• Focus treatment on function
• Have a broad medical expertise that allows them to treat disabling conditions
throughout a person’s lifetime
• Diagnose and treat pain as a result of an injury, illness, or disabling condition
• Determine and lead a treatment/prevention plan
• Lead a team of medical professionals, which may include physical therapists,
occupational therapists, and physician extenders to optimize patient care
• Work with other physicians, which may include primary care physicians,
neurologists, orthopedic surgeons, and many others
• Treat the whole person, not just the problem area
PM&R physicians are medical doctors who have completed training in the specialty of
PM&R and may be certified in a subspecialty such as Brain Injury Medicine, Hospice
and Palliative Medicine, Neuromuscular Medicine, Pain Medicine, Pediatric
Rehabilitation Medicine, Spinal Cord Injury Medicine, and/or Sports Medicine.
PM&R is often called the quality of life profession because its aim is to enhance patient
performance. These specialists treat any disability resulting from disease or injury
involving any organ system. The focus is not on one part of the body, but instead on the
development of a comprehensive program for putting the pieces of a person’s life back
together – medically, socially, emotionally, and vocationally – after injury or disease.
Physiatrists manage issues that span the entire spectrum, from complicated multiple
trauma to injury prevention for patients.
Required Training and Qualifications:
To become a physiatrist, individuals must graduate from medical school followed by four
additional years of postdoctoral training in a PM&R residency. This includes one year
developing fundamental clinical skills and three additional years of training in the full
extent of the specialty. As of today, there are 80 accredited residency programs in
physical medicine and rehabilitation in the United States. Many PM&R physicians
choose to pursue additional advanced degrees, such as their MS or PhD, or complete
Washington 3
fellowship training in a specific area of the specialty. Fellowships are available for
specialized study in such areas as musculoskeletal rehabilitation, pediatrics, traumatic
brain injury, spinal cord injury, and sports medicine.
To become board certified in PM&R, physicians are required to take both a written and
oral examination administered by the American Board of Physical Medicine and
Rehabilitation (ABPMR). The ABPMR also has agreements with each of the boards of
pediatrics, internal medicine, and neurology to allow special training programs leading to
certification in both specialties. Additionally, Rehabilitation physicians can also obtain
subspecialty certification in several fields as previously mentioned.
Current Employment & Job Outlook:
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), employment of physicians – which
include physiatrists – is projected to grow 14 percent from 2014 to 2024, much faster
than the average for all occupations. The growing and aging population is expected to
drive overall growth in the demand for physician services as consumers continue to seek
high levels of care that uses the latest technologies, diagnostic tests, and therapies.
Although the demand for physicians and surgeons is expected to continue, some factors
will likely mitigate growth. Newly developed technology will allow physicians to treat
more patients in the same amount of time, reducing the number of physicians needed to
complete the same tasks. Furthermore, physician assistants and nurse practitioners can do
many of the routine duties of physicians and may be used to reduce costs at hospitals and
private doctor’s offices.
Demand for physicians’ services is sensitive to changes in healthcare reimbursement
policies as well. Consumers may seek fewer physician services if changes to health
coverage result in higher out-of-pocket costs for them. However, the number of
individuals who have access to health insurance is expected to continue to increase due to
federal health insurance reform. Such access will in turn increase demand for the services
of physicians.
According to the AAPMR, the job prospects and employment opportunities for
physiatrists continue to grow and look to increase by 20% for 2008-2018. Factors that
fuel the demand for physiatrists include a growing and aging population and the
advancement in healthcare facilities, permitting the survival of a greater number of
trauma victims or those born with congenital disorders.
Earnings and Wage Projections:
Earnings vary with the physician’s number of years in practice, geographic region of
practice, hours worked, skill, personality, and professional reputation. Even with this,
however, wages for physicians are among the highest of all occupations. The BLS cites
the Medical Group Management Association’s Physician Compensation and Production
Survey, stating that the median total compensation for physicians varies with their type of
practice. In 2014, physicians practicing primary care received total median annual
Washington 4
compensation of $241,273 and physicians practicing in medical specialties received total
median annual compensation of $411,852. According to the AAPMR, the median annual
salary for physiatrists was $199,343.

There are several reasons for the great difference between these various specialties. One
is malpractice insurance. With surgical procedures, there is a greater risk for malpractice
lawsuits. Therefore, they receive more compensation. Another reason for the differences
is the amount of hours each specialty works. As anesthesiologists and su…
