THE DIGEST OF BIOTECH JOB
TRENDS IN MASSACHUSETTS
QUARTERLY LIFE SCIENCES
JOB MARKET REPORT:
Q3 2017
About the 3-Month Report
MassBioEd produces a 3-Month Report on biopharmaceutical job trends each quarter of the year. The report compares job
listings for the most current three-month period with job listings for the same three-month period of the previous year to
determine underlying trends in job listings.
About the MassBioEd Foundation
MassBioEd engages teachers, inspires students, and guides the life sciences workforce. Our BioTeach program supports
Massachusetts teachers as they work to engage students through lab-centered, inquiry-based learning. Our Job Trends
initiative identifies workforce needs and illuminates the pathway from the classroom to careers in the life sciences.
About The Digest of Biotech Jobs Trends in Massachusetts
The Quarterly Report is a part of MassBioEd’s ongoing Digest of Biotech Jobs Trends in Massachusetts, which also includes
Briefs, a Medical Device Snapshot, and an annual Job Trends Forecast. The Briefs present basic data and analysis on particular
aspects of biopharma industry job trends.
The objectives in publishing the Briefs is to provide basic information about job listings trends, skills required of candidates,
prevalence of degree requirements for high trending occupations. The Annual Job Trends Forecast is intended to provide
greater insight based on additional study in these areas.
Acknowledgements
The analysis found in the 3-Month Report was conducted by Mark Bruso, Manager of Labor Market Research, under the
direction of MassBioEd Foundation Executive Director, Peter Abair. Erica Dickinson, Product Support Manager at Burning
Glass provided able assistance to the MassBioEd research team in effectively using data from Burning Glass Technologies.
MassBio, the industry council serving the biopharmaceutical community of the Massachusetts region, provided support for
this series and MassBioEd’s ongoing job trends initiative.

APPENDIXMassBioEd utilizes Burning Glass Labor Insight for the bulk of its real-time online job listing data. Per the
description on Burning Glass’ website, their Labor Insight software, “collects millions of online job postings
[everyday] from close to 40,000 sources and applies [their] patented technology to mine and code detailed
data from each posting describing the specific skills, education, experience, and work activities required for the
job – going well beyond the occupation and industry codes offered in other sources.”
All job listings data is sourced from Burning Glass Labor Insight, unless otherwise noted.
Employment numbers were derived from the Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Quarterly Census
of Employment and Wages (QCEW), a survey of employers that covers 98 percent of all workers in the country.
Staffing patterns, or the count of individual occupations by industry in the state, were found by using
Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Occupation Employment Statistics (OES) Research Estimates.
These are derived from sample surveys and thus are approximations subject to sampling error, as well as non-
sampling errors by respondents filling out the surveys.
