Frequently Asked Questions About AMP Workforce Development Data
What workforce development data is available for AMP communities?
The AMP Economic Development website provides both current workforce intelligence (demographics, labor force, occupations, industries, and wages) and future talent pipeline data (college programs and graduate output), providing site selectors and developers with a comprehensive workforce development story to share with prospective employers.
What is a labor shed and why does it matter for site selection?
A labor shed is the geographic area from which a business can realistically draw its workforce. In economic development and site selection, it represents the region where employees are willing and able to commute to a job location on a regular basis. It matters because companies are more concerned about the number of workers they can recruit than the actual population of a city or town. Users of AMP’s Workforce Mapping Tool can adjust the mile commute labor shed area rather than just using the municipal boundaries. This provides site selectors with a more realistic picture of the workforce available to employers considering an AMP Member community for their development project.
