8 out of 9 Total Reviews for JobsEQ
The feature I most like about JobsEQ is the flexability in creating custom things - custom regions, custom industry groups and custom occupations. You can easily create the region, industry or labor force that you need and then compare it to any geography that you have access to.
I've found JobsEQ to be so helpful in my organization's efforts to recruit new companies I've added access to all MSAs and counties in the USA, plus subscribed to Real Time Information and Resume Forensics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Its difficult to find something I don't like about JobsEQ, but it would be nice to expand the output of their Economic Impact feature to include Value Added and State/Local taxes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Very easy to use interface and very prompt on-demand customer service. I like the ability to customize regions of interest and to create CIP to SOC crosswalks relevant to our degree programs. I like the data export options and the automated reports which I can send to program directors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In Resume Forensics, some of the data is not cleaned up as well as I would prefer. For example, individuals misspell the name of their college attended, and those won't surface as "hits" in a report. There are also duplications of persons, where data scraped from one site where the person uses a slightly different name variation than their name on another site (for example: Bill vs. William).

We are a large public university and have used JobsEQ since 2018 to better align academic programs with the labor market and our competitive market. We would be lost without it. We have run hundreds of Education Reports and Awards analytic reports, as well as Occupation Reports, Occupation Snapshots, and others. Amazingly easy to use and excellent user support. A few clicks to get a report that otherwise would take weeks or months to accomplish, if you could do it at all. Love the Data Explorer tool and the ability to easily create custom geographic regions on any scale. Very affordable. Reliable data sources. Powerful and robust proprietary analytics. The company is run by Ph.D.-level economists and it shows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

JobsEQ is a big time saver when preparing for housing & economic presentations, particularly for smaller markets outside of major metro areas. I can present rich data about the local economy to help Realtors understand labor market dymanics. Wages are an important driver of the housing market. The new Housing Analytic tool is an outstanding way to project housing demand so that planners and developers can create the right mix of housing to support local economic development.

The Data Explorer is powerful but takes a little time to figure out how to operate to get the most out of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
