LinkUp, the leading provider of global job market data,
announced the release today of Compass—an intuitive digital toolset
for analyzing labor demand in real time and living color.
The platform is powered by LinkUp’s comprehensive dataset of
hundreds of millions of job openings, sourced directly from
employer websites and updated daily since 2007. For the first time,
users now have access to interactive and presentation-grade visual
renderings of LinkUp’s raw data—without the usual requirements of
data infrastructure, ingestion processes, spreadsheets, or
coding.
“Compass allows users to query a huge dataset spontaneously
through an intuitive interface—doing a fast thesis check on an
idea,” said Jon Norberg, LinkUp’s Chief Strategy Officer. “But it
also has enough versatility to employ multiple filters in a
structured approach to yield detail and nuanced comparisons.
Compass can cater to a wide variety of analytical approaches and
workflows.”
The Best in U.S. Macro Insight:
LinkUp is opening its line of Compass products with the U.S.
Macro Dashboard, a robust set of analytics measuring millions of
job openings across the full scope of the U.S. job market. The
product delivers both monthly and weekly labor demand
data—providing top-down insights on U.S. job growth up to weeks
faster than the Non-farm payrolls (NFP) & JOLTs reports
released with a month’s lag time by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics.
From LinkUp’s CEO, Toby Dayton: “Today there’s just no reason to
be solely reliant on lagged, increasingly suspect survey-based
data. With LinkUp Compass and our incredibly powerful and
accessible job market data sourced daily directly from employer
websites, we deliver deep, forward-looking insights into what’s
driving the job market and, as a result, the U.S. and even the
global economy as a whole.”
Key Features of Compass U.S. Macro Dashboard:
- Macro Insight. Track monthly and weekly active job
openings across the entire spectrum of the U.S. economy.
- Geographic Coverage. Investigate labor demand at a
national, state, city, and ZIP-code level.
- Granularity. Evaluate openings by Industry and
Occupation for a zoomed in view of economic growth.
- Sector Breakdowns. See demand indexed by Goods vs.
Service jobs and by White-Collar vs. Blue-Collar openings.
- Time to Hire. Leverage average Closed Duration of job
openings as a proxy for hiring velocity across regions and
sectors.
- BLS Employment & Macro Data aggregated and
visualized in one place, including over 25 employment-related data
series from the BLS.
In coming months, LinkUp plans additional releases via its
Compass platform, including products focused on individual
employers, both public and private, as well as specific industry
verticals to provide deep, granular insight into labor demand.
The release of Compass signals a new phase in LinkUp’s mission
to provide the most accurate insights on the job market at
unprecedented speed. LinkUp Product Chief Jill Deuel says that the
Macro Dashboard is “just the beginning, as we continue to expand
the new platform to create products that offer our clients even
greater insight into the data that matters most to them.”
