Licence records on the North Dakota register located in Ward County that the register does not mark expired or revoked and evidences as licences actually held; median annual wage from BLS OEWS. North Dakota publishes a county-level address for only 1% of its licence records, so this is a count of the records that place here, not of everyone licensed to work here. The real number is higher. Counts from states that publish addresses for most of their register are not comparable with this one. The last column is the modelled probability this county's wages for the trade tighten materially faster than the national trend over 24 months, not a probability that a shortage occurs. Trades that share an industry code share a forecast.
