LMID GIS Analysts provide assistance to customers involved in planning activities (e.g. research, economic development, urban planning) by summarizing BLS data from the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages program within geographic areas of interest (e.g. jurisdictions, natural disaster areas, or natural hazard zones).
