Workforce Data – Input Wanted

The Projections Managing Partnership (PMP), part of the C2ER and LMI Institute family, is a nationwide network with the primary goal of helping states produce data-informed projections. The PMP is conducting a survey of workforce research partners across the US and would value hearing from you. As economic development researchers, you are a valued collaborator. As such, we ask that you take five minutes to respond to the short survey as we work nationally to continually improve projections.
