The bi-annual survey collects information from Livingston County employers that isn’t available anywhere else, and it provides a comprehensive snapshot of the local employment landscape.

The survey is short and can be completed in approximately 15 minutes. The more data received, the more valuable the results. Deadline to complete the survey is Sept. 14. You can take the survey by clicking here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/MFRCP3X .
