Iowa Workforce Development is urging employers to assist in collecting economic statistics for the state. The spring data collection for Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics is currently underway, supporting tools like the Iowa Wage Report and local OEWS reports. The deadline for data submission is May 24. Employers who haven’t received a participation notice or who require assistance in retrieving their internet data collection facility, or IDCF, number can contact the Labor Market Information Division at 800-258-2221. Employers can provide the information online or via fax, email or phone, using the provided IDCF number. For more information on Iowa’s labor market, visit IWD’s Labor Market Information Division.
