Northeast Florida labor market information
Jobs, pay and skills data for our region
Labor market information is data about local jobs. It shows which industries are growing, what jobs pay and which skills employers want.
Our regional partner, JAXUSA Partnership, keeps this data in a free online data dashboard. JAXUSA Partnership is part of JAX Chamber. It works to bring new businesses to the Jacksonville area and to help local ones grow.
The dashboard covers seven counties: Baker, Clay, Duval, Flagler, Nassau, Putnam and St. Johns. That includes all six counties we serve.
Use the dashboard to learn about the region. Then come to us for help with hiring, training or your job search.
