Why Data for Workers Matters
Empowering Workers. Informing Action. Shaping the Future.
In today’s fast-changing economy, access to accurate, timely data isn’t just helpful — it’s essential. Workers, employers, educators, and policy leaders all need reliable information to make smart decisions that support economic mobility and job growth.
IELI has been crucial in paving the path alongside partners to ensure we create reports with updated data to inform economic and workforce development.
