Perhaps you are thinking of becoming a real estate agent and need to know how many people are employed in that field in your county, perhaps Morgan County, which averaged 58 workers last quarter. Perhaps you want to know the major employers, the average commute time or the unemployment rate in a particular county. However, the jobs that are most in demand in Albany, Mo., are retail salespeople, but Zalma, Mo., needs people in manufacturing. The site also offers such information as census data, consumer price information, industry employment and wage information, industry occupation projections, labor market conditions, labor surplus areas, occupational injury and illness statistics and personal income. And it's not just a site for job seekers.
Businesses can use the information too.
It has been said that no business plans to fail, but some fail to plan. Well, the labor market information can help your business do that, if you are just starting out or if you are planning for growth or looking toward the future. While you are at the site, you just might find the employee you've been looking for as well. Once again, it's the kind of information for which you might pay a consultant thousands of dollars. And when you do, please register.
