Our monthly Labor Market Reviews (LMRs) provide a snapshot of the workforce and economic trends shaping the Borderplex region. Each report highlights key data on employment, unemployment, wages, and in-demand industries.
For jobseekers and students, LMRs are a powerful tool to understand which careers are growing, what skills are in demand, and where opportunities exist. For businesses and employers, these insights help guide hiring strategies, identify workforce needs, and stay ahead in a competitive labor market.
Most importantly, this information strengthens our local economy by connecting people with career opportunities, helping businesses grow, and ensuring our region remains competitive and prepared for the future of work.
