This study was prepared as a result of a successful grant application from the State Trade and Commerce Agency.  The purpose of the report is to document training levels of the available workforce in the Yuba-Sutter Region, relying on available data and information rather than perception.  In fulfilling its purpose, this document attempts to:

1) Identify the total number of skilled workers who are commuting outside the Yuba-Sutter Region to work

2) Determine how many people comprise Yuba and Sutter County's current workforce, including characteristics such as age, race, and location

3) Identify local services and collaborations available to outreach, screen, and train the workforce in the Yuba-Sutter Region

4) Determine the approximate number and training level of the unemployed, the underemployed, and those entering the labor market.
