Dashboard of Major Employers
When collecting community data, I often get asked what businesses are in the area. Often that data is only available from subscription databases, so I was thrilled when I heard about the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development LMI (Labor Market Information) dashboard that provides free access to major employers in a city or village. Here are steps to do a search:
Go to Wisconsin LMI Data Access
https://www.jobcenterofwisconsin.com/wisconomy/query
1. Click on the Create Visualization tab
2. Select Category = Business AND Sub Category = Employers By Area - Info Group
3. Click on Generate Visualizations
4. Hover over the Employers - Major Employers visualization AND Click on Load Visualization
5. Select your County
6. Select your City (or Village)
7. Select an employer to get details about the business.
Want more details? Check out the other LMI visualization, Employers - Size and Contacts, to view businesses by NAICS sectors such as construction, education, health care, manufacturing, etc.
