The University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service has released a new data tool providing access to workforce indicators across the state.
The Labor Market Observatory provides data from each of the state’s eight economic development districts. The new tool is a product of Extension’s Community, Professional and Economic Development department.
The tool is designed to help development professionals, community organizations and individuals access workforce indicators from state and federal sources, said Brandon L. Mathews, Extension program associate for economic development.
