Strategic Advantage

Who Uses Strategic Advantage?

Economic development agencies use our data and tools to identify strengths and weakness in their regional economy, estimate economic impacts, and discover high-potential industries to attract to their region.

Workforce investment boards use our data and tools to gain easy access to information on industry and occupation growth and decline, high-wage and high-growth occupations, and the transferability of worker skills from low-growth to high-growth occupations.

Community colleges use EMSI data together with software and reports provided by CCbenefits to demonstrate their positive socioeconomic impact and taxpayer return on investment, as well as to plan curricula to meet future regional growth needs.

Local, regional, and state governments use our data and tools to decide which types of businesses to attract or retain in their region, to predict the economic ripple effects of policy decisions, and to evaluate educational needs in the regional workforce.

Private-sector analysts in diverse fields such as economic consulting, human resources, marketing, real estate, and finance use Strategic Advantage to obtain fast and comprehensive labor market data to help drive corporate decision-making.

In many cases, EMSI's products and services drive collaboration among various groups, especially those concerned with regional development.
