How Analyst works
Analyst draws on EMSI’s labor market data that’s used by hundreds of organizations across the US. The data is automatically updated four times a year, so when you use the tool you can be confident that you are accessing the most recent dataset available.
You can purchase data for any geographic area that interests you (county, MSA, ZIP, state, or custom region). Analyst is a subscription-based model that comes with your own regional representative and unparalleled Customer Service. Each organization that subscribes to the tool gets a login for up to 10 people. This includes data updates and functionality improvements over the course of the subscription period.
