LABORSHED ANALYSIS:

We are pleased to present the 2006 Prosperity Eastern Iowa Laborshed Analysis completed by Iowa Workforce Development. This report contains valuable workforce information to assist local leaders, existing industry, and site selectors with business expansion/relocation initiatives. Some of the information found in this report consists of commuting patterns, current and desired wages/salaries, available labor, workforce skills, and employment numbers/percentages by industry in the Laborshed area.

The fundamental goal of any Laborshed analysis is to estimate the potential availability of workers and determine how well the surrounding geographical areas are able to provide a stable supply of workers to the central Laborshed node.
