In this webinar Abby Latture, Senior Research Analyst with the Greater Memphis Economic Research Group, will present on the results of her Certified Economic Research Professional (CERP) project, which focuses on enhancing the delivery of labor market data through the development of an interactive Tableau dashboard.
The session will begin with an overview of the Greater Memphis Economic Research Group’s existing monthly jobs reports, including how labor market data is collected, organized, and analyzed. It will then outline the process of translating these static reports into a dynamic, interactive dashboard format.
Key components of the dashboard will be highlighted, including:
- Employment trends and monthly job change analysis
- Unemployment rate tracking
- Industry-level employment breakdowns
- Job market demand and postings activity
The webinar will also explore how interactive dashboards improve accessibility, usability, and flexibility when communicating regional economic data.
