Targeting file

Look for a job where the jobs are ... it's a lot easier!

Use the long and short term trends to see how industries have preformed in the area of your choice.

You get the state of your choice with your kit. You can order additional states as needed. Each state file includes all the metropolitan areas in that state, and all the industries that are tracked by the BLS in each metropolitan area. The files are updated monthly, and you get the latest data.

See how clients do targeting. Yours will be a limited version, depending on which states you get.
