In the past year, C2ER, YOUR professional membership organization, has led efforts to boost economic, workforce, and community research visibility. We’ve championed superior data quality, invested in local data initiatives, and enhanced C2ER’s value for our 1,060+ members. Committed to keeping you informed, we invite you to take a look at our collective achievements for this year.

In addition we also present the LMI Institute Accomplishments for 2023 – see what efforts were done from LMI System & Program Support, Technical Training, Research, and more for our LMII members. LMI Institute continues to be the preeminent resource for supporting the development, interpretation, and use of labor market information (LMI).
