Add the jobs you hire for and every tool in this journey computes on them: your wages, your competition, your talent shed.

Plan your workforce

Your quarterly sector brief

A written brief on your sector's labor market each quarter, prepared by the Alex team from your Industry Dashboard's data plus a short written read, delivered within 15 business days after the quarter ends. Add a question or a focus for the next one here.

Built from Your Industry Dashboard's own figures for the quarter (BLS employment and wages, Census job-to-job flows, Lightcast posting demand at county level) plus a short written read by the Alex team

Staff-written, one per quarter, delivered within 15 business days after the quarter ends. The portal records your request and shows when the next brief is due and when the last one was delivered; it does not generate the brief itself.

You are on Free. 1 of 5 tools in Plan your workforce are open to you. See what the other 4 add.

This is a service delivered by the Alex team, not a self-serve screen. Industry unlocks this.
