The Warren County Economic Development Corporation is working with the Iowa Workforce Development’s Regional Research Bureau to complete a Laborshed employment study.

The study will assist existing businesses and potential new businesses in better understanding the area’s labor force and characteristics. The Laborshed boundary is based on the place of residence of individuals working in the Warren County area.

Employers in the Laborshed area are asked to provide aggregate counts of their employees by ZIP code and by place of residence. Once that Laborshed area is determined, a confidential household telephone survey will be conducted in those areas. The questions will cover topics including employment status, wages, benefits, education and occupation.
