Labour Market Maps and Analytics Dashboard user feedback survey:
- In April 2020, we launched the Labour Market Maps and Analytics Dashboard to provide you with more options to find and use labour market information at the national, state, and regional levels.
To help better meet your data needs, we are keen to understand your experiences with the dashboard. If you have a minute to spare, we would appreciate your participation in a very short survey via https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/KLLG5NK
This survey will run from 3 to 31 August 2020, and your responses will inform future refinements to the dashboard.
