Labor Studies

When a business considers a new location or a major expansion, detailed workforce information has become a critical factor in the site selection evaluation process. Companies and organizations of all types want information that assesses not only the workforce availability but also the quality and cost as well. The “Availability of Skilled Labor” and “Labor Costs” are now considered two of the top factors for competitiveness in a global economy.

Growth Services has conducted Workforce Studies for over 10 years.  We understand the issues from the community and the employer perspective. By measuring and quantifying the various elements in quality, availability and cost, companies and organizations can better assess risk and maximize the return-on-investment (ROI) of their workforce. By surveying both the employer (demand side) and the workforce (supply side) better information is available for both the site evaluation process and as a local workforce development tool.
