Workforce Alliance Data Quarterly
Each quarter, Workforce Alliance releases job market information that uses economic indicators to better understand the regional labor market. We focus on the issues of hiring trends, youth, education, industry and technology, with an eye toward keeping our understanding of the job market as current and relevant as possible. The economic recession has had a devastating effect on employment for nearly all categories of workers, but especially young adults, leaving us with the highest unemployment among 18-24 year olds in many generations. This is the kind of information that we track and report every quarter. Please click here for the latest Data Quarterly.
