  • When talking about innovation, the relationship between enterprise and the public sector often flows one way: governments want to emulate the fast-moving solutions that businesses come up with. But with skills-based hiring, we’re seeing the opposite: the public sector is leading the way in opening new doors to workers without a college degree. >> https://lnkd.in/eqxnWRS6 cc: Cole Napper Joshua Wright Christopher Laney, EdD, MBA

  • Labor data led this The New York Times story about the recent US tariffs. They wanted to: understand what industries are being impacted on a state by state level, look at counties and the jobs therein which have the potential to be most affected by the tariffs, and map how US jobs are adversely impacted by Canada, China, and the EU's retaliatory tariffs. They came to us for this comprehensive data. We deliver data and insights on the labor market to companies, higher education institutions, and the public sector to contextualize and power their decisions.
