Are you an employer interested in expanding your workforce? Are you a jobseeker looking for a great job? As an employer or jobseeker, access to current labor market information is important. In a partnership between WorkSource of the South Plains and LEDA (Lubbock Economic Development Alliance), we present the Regional Labor Market Survey. This survey is a new opportunity for you to access local employment conditions and research compensation data by using an online tool that assists people with their employment goals.

This comprehensive local labor market information is a critical component for bridging the gap between workforce and economic development. In order to have a better understanding of changing conditions and to make informed and successful decisions, we worked with Texas Tech University to conduct a survey of local businesses. The survey focused on the local labor market in Lubbock, which includes an analysis of job openings, growth, turnover, and wages. During the months of January-March, 2004, more than 3,000 employers in a representative sample of industrial sectors responded to the local survey, and data about 520 occupations were collected. The survey results shed light on the current job market of the region; it describes how this region is different from other regions; and, it describes qualities that fit our local economy.

You can obtain additional information about the survey or particular occupations by using the buttons to the left. The Lubbock Economic Development Alliance and WorkSource of the South Plains thank you for your interest in our community, and we stand ready to assist with any questions you may have about the exciting opportunities available in Lubbock and the South Plains region.
