  Workforce Analysis

One of the most critical factors facing communities and companies in today's business environment is the status and viability of their workforce.  The workforce category is so important because it covers many areas, including wages, benefits, employment, unemployment, unions, unemployment insurance, taxes, tax credits, absenteeism, turnover, recruitment, occupational shortages, occupational surpluses, worker education levels, etc., etc.

Miller of JMC has many years of experience analyzing workforce issues for companies, government and economic development entities. 

• Local Governments and Economic Development Entities may want to learn how their labor force compares with other communities as they compete for new and expanding industry.  An analysis will help them determine the status of their work force and what they can do to improve it, or methods they can take to make their labor force more attractive to industry relocations and expansions.  It can also help establish the types of companies that are suitable for their community based on the the labor force that is prevalent.
   

• Companies may want a workforce analysis to determine whether to expand, or locate in a community, to compare communities they may be considering, or to determine if their levels of benefits are appropriate for the area. 

JMC has the experience to provide analysis for virtually any workforce scenario.
