Workforce Intelligence

Know where the labor market is moving before your competitors do.

Monthly and quarterly intelligence on employment, wages, occupations, and industry shifts, resolved to the geographies your organization actually hires in, sells into, or governs, and delivered in a form an executive can act on the same day.

What we monitor

The labor market moves locally, and it moves first.

National figures describe a country. The decision in front of you concerns a metro, a county, an occupation, and a quarter. By the time the local picture reaches a news story, the opening it described has usually closed.

▲
Employment and unemployment
Payroll employment, unemployment rates, and claims activity for the metros, counties, and states you operate in, reported on the federal release cycle.
▲
Wages
Wage levels and wage growth by occupation and industry, so a compensation decision or a bid rate rests on the current local figure rather than a national average.
▲
Occupations and labor force
Occupational demand, labor-force participation, and the supply of specific skills in a region. The difference between a market that is tight and one that is merely loud.
▲
Industry shifts
Which industries are adding or shedding work in your geographies, and what that implies for hiring, placement, and pricing.
▲
Demographics
How the population of a region is changing, by age, education, and migration, and what that means for the workforce behind your growth plans.
▲
Geographic differences
Your markets set against each other and against comparable regions, so an expansion, a closure, or a recruiting push targets the place the data supports.
What you receive

Reported on a cadence. Answered on demand.

A Workforce Intelligence retainer combines a monthly brief on what moved with a quarterly report on where the labor market is heading, plus the capacity to answer a specific question between reports.

Monthly
Labor market brief
What changed this month in employment, unemployment, and wages across your geographies, and what it implies. Written for an executive, sourced on the page.
Quarterly
Workforce report
The structural view: occupational demand, industry shifts, labor-force trends, and demographic change over the quarter and against the prior year.
Continuous
Occupation and wage tracking
Standing coverage of the occupations you hire for or place, with wage levels and growth by region.
Continuous
Geographic comparison
Your markets against each other and against comparable regions, updated as new releases post.
Project
Custom workforce study
A scoped investigation of a specific question: a skills gap, a site selection, a wage benchmark.
Living portal
Executive dashboard
A maintained, access-controlled view of your labor markets for the leadership team that wants the picture without waiting for the report.
Who this is for

Organizations whose next decision depends on the labor market.

Staffing and recruiting firms deciding where to invest sales effort. Workforce boards and economic-development groups reporting to a board. Employers planning hiring, compensation, or a new location. Each has the same problem: the question is continuous, and the staff time to answer it is not.

50
states covered on one methodology, so a market in one region can be compared directly against a market in another.
Monthly
the cadence at which the federal labor series releases, and the cadence at which your brief arrives.
1967
the start of the longitudinal record, so a shift is measured against the full history of the series.

Start with the market you are most uncertain about.

Name a metro, a county, or an occupation and we will prepare a sample brief without fee, so you can judge the work on what it tells you.
