| Abstract: | This article defines workforce analysis and reviews the ongoing call for the field of psychology to address workforce analysis issues in a systematic manner. The American Psychological Association's progress in developing a workforce analysis capacity is traced, and the authors focus on how workforce analysis can be used to answer a series of questions regarding career pipeline issues, the supply of students and demand for internship training positions, and employment opportunities in professional psychology. The authors conclude that professional education and training issues can only be fully understood in the context of a databased approach to workforce demands for psychologists.
