In addition to serving as the labor relations
arm of the West Coast maritime industry, and
processing payroll and benefits for thousands
of longshore workers each week, the Pacific
Maritime Association has come to be known as
a leading resource for reliable information on
the waterfront. The pages that follow contain
some of the most requested data sets, which
detail cargo movement, the labor force and a
host of other maritime matters.
PMA strives to provide timely, reliable
information to many stakeholders, including its
members, customers and workforce, as well as
public officials, news media and other interested
third-parties. Much of the data that follows is
supplied by PMA's Strategic Business Analysis
department, which analyzes trends and works
to forecast industry needs and capabilities.
