WIA Industry Focus

MERIC and the U.S. Census operate a unique program called Local Employment Dynamics (LED). LED generates and analyzes such local labor market information as employment, industry, residence and commuting (even out of state commuting) patterns, even maps.

In this series of reports, LED is used to identify the top industries in each of Missouri's Workforce Investment Areas (WIA) and the age and gender makeup of its workforce.
