Our Services
Labor Market Analysis
Dive into the evolving landscape of employer priorities and workforce trends with our Labor Market Analysis. Through a detailed examination of labor market information (LMI) sources, including online job ads data, combined with direct engagement of employers and working professionals via focus groups and interviews, our insights help organizations align their strategies with the real-world workforce needs of the communities they serve.
Survey Research
If your organization is interested in surfacing stakeholder and community perspectives and trends, LMIS can develop, disseminate, and analyze a survey for you, preparing a report of key findings, with a focus on how these findings apply to your organization’s context and mission.
Program Development & Support
Leverage the power of data and research to develop high-impact community-tailored programs and academic curricula, refine existing programs, and understand the needs and priorities of your participant populations. LMIS will work with you to provide comprehensive program support, from guidance incorporating data into the planning phase, to conducting customized trainings and iterative outcome evaluations to demonstrate and improve your program’s impact.
Qualitative Research
Interested in digging deeper to understand the stories behind the numbers? LMIS is highly experienced in conducting interviews and focus groups that provide the space for a diversity of communities to communicate their opinions, experiences, and insights. This includes everyone from students, educators, direct-service providers, and young people and adults just starting out their careers, to employers, industry experts, researchers, and experienced workers in particular fields.
Thought Leadership
LMIS drives research of labor market dynamics and their applications to real-world settings. This includes pioneering efforts to quantify the mission-driven sector’s adoption of AI tools, clarifying the relationship between evolving employer demand and secondary/post-secondary curricula decisions, and distilling high-impact strategies to equip different populations for professional success and living-wage careers. We disseminate this work to service providers, policymakers, and the broader research community through convenings and cross-sector discussions, our quarterly e-newsletter (the LMIS LaborLink), and our website.
Additional Competencies
Economic Impact Analysis
Workforce development and labor market interventions impact regional economies beyond direct changes in employment, wages, and spending. Overall economic activity is also affected as business-to-business and consumer spending changes result. LMIS can estimate these trickle-down impacts throughout your region and help your organization understand the broad economic impact that your program or project has beyond the individuals who are directly served.
Statistical Analysis
LMIS brings the power of statistical analysis to life, translating complex data into actionable insights. Statistical methods help us untangle the web of influences on job trends and workforce outcomes, illuminating the impact of each element. Crunching survey data allows us to highlight subtle yet significant differences between groups of respondents. Finally, we distill these findings into accessible narratives that engage and inform our clients.
Strategic Consulting
LMIS staff are highly experienced at analyzing data, identifying trends, and interpreting their applied implications. If you are looking for a thought partner to build on your existing expertise with data-driven and research-backed recommendations, LMIS can act as a strategic advisor to ensure your work is achieving maximum impact.
