The regulatory environment is
ubiquitous in energy efficiency. In
fact, all energy efficiency innovations
need to be evaluated for their
potential environmental impact and a
determination made as to whether or
not they will need to be regulated. Few
realize that even those technologies
with the most benevolent appearance
may have side effects needing regulatory
attention.

The Wyoming Department of Employment (WDOE), Research & Planning Section, enlisted the
Wyoming Survey & Analysis Center (WYSAC) to conduct 10 cognitive interviews at various
locations throughout the state of Wyoming. The goal of these interviews was to test how well the
questions included in the Job Skills survey perform in achieving the intended purpose of this
instrument, which is to be used by the WDOE in the future; namely, to effectively yield the
information necessary to help educators and employment training organizations identify necessary
skills and develop curriculum to forge these skills in the labor pool.
New Hires Survey: Employer Cover Letter and Questionnaire
Beginning in 2010, Research & Planning sent this cover letter and questionnaire to Wyoming employers in order to collect information on new hires and the jobs they worked.
