What this costs elsewhere. A labor-market data seat alone runs $12,000 to $25,000 a year at published rates (Lightcast, Chmura), and a talent-insights seat another $10,000 to $20,000 (LinkedIn Talent Insights; our estimate, the vendor does not publish pricing). A Hamilton County employer gets the working toolkit for $1,500 a year, because the county's civic investment already carries the infrastructure. Revenue from outside the county funds more of it.
