Unlocking the Power of Labor Market Data:
A Workshop with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
Bring your questions, grab a warm cup of joe, and join us for an engaging, data‑driven session designed to help HR professionals confidently navigate labor market trends using tools from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Whether your organization is exploring new markets, planning future expansion, evaluating employment costs, conducting marketing research, negotiating long‑term contracts, reducing workplace injury rates, or benchmarking performance against industry peers, reliable data is essential. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) provides a wealth of free, publicly available information—funded by taxpayer dollars—and this workshop will show you how to put that data to work.
Edward "Jack" Leps
Join Jack Leps from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics for a practical, information‑packed session tailored for HR professionals, business leaders, and anyone involved in workforce planning or organizational strategy. The workshop will begin with a brief overview of current economic conditions in our region, followed by a hands‑on walkthrough of how to find, interpret, and extract the datasets most commonly used by HR professionals on bls.gov.
During this session, participants will learn how to access and use key labor‑market information related to employment and unemployment trends, wages and compensation, occupational outlook and industry projections, workplace injuries and illnesses, and major productivity and economic indicators.
This workshop offers a valuable opportunity to deepen your understanding of the labor market, discover tools that support informed and strategic decision‑making, and learn directly from the experts who produce and analyze the nation’s workforce statistics.
