Democratizing Labor Market Information: A Thought Piece 

By: Julia Lane, Professor at New York University Wagner Graduate School of Public Service

It has never been more important to have timely, local, and actionable data on jobs and earnings – labor market data. Just in the past three years, we have seen the need in many areas, ranging from local responses to COVID-19, to the training of workers for the jobs resulting from such investments as the $280 billion CHIPS and Science Act, and requested for AI. Also, in past decades, the mismatch between workers and jobs has been blamed for the “deaths of despair”. It’s time to expand our infrastructure to include state and local data in a way that can democratize our access to and use of labor market information.
