We are at the center of workforce development efforts in the state, supporting both companies and individual Arkansans.
About us
The focus of the Arkansas Division of Workforce Services is to provide individuals the tools they need to enhance and sustain their employability. And, through the education and skills training offered to jobseekers, employers are reducing hidden costs associated with lost production time and turnover rates by hiring qualified workers. Products and services can be categorized into three main groups: Unemployment Insurance, Employment Assistance (Jobseeker services and Employer services), and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. ADWS offers these services at Arkansas Workforce Centers located throughout the state. ADWS continues to build effective partnerships with other organizations to better serve customers. Through these partnerships, ADWS and its partners are able to leverage each other’s core competencies and resources. Because the Arkansas Division of Workforce Services is a state agency, it does not earn a profit and does not measure success by business growth and expansion. The agency is unique from other Arkansas state agencies in that it is 99 percent federally funded with taxpayer dollars.

We recently worked with the Arkansas GIS Office to create a new dataset for their platform! The Labor Force Data layer provides detailed insights into the civilian labor force for each county in Arkansas, highlighting the total number of employed and unemployed residents, along with the county's unemployment rate. “Labor force data is an important part of the toolset our state uses to attract new opportunities and jobs for Arkansans," said Secretary of Commerce, Hugh McDonald. "Local economic development leaders will now be able to use this data in their own GIS systems to develop custom labor force maps for their community and region.” https://lnkd.in/e68NEZma
