    Number of gainful employment opportunities

    What we collect

    This indicator tracks the percentage of residents participating in the labour market.

    Why we collect it

    For a community to be sustainable citizens must have their economic needs met. This requires access to a market that offers a diverse set of employment opportunities. Monitoring this indicator will gauge our success in encouraging an economy that offers a multitude of gainful employment opportunities.
