About ELMI

Print Version

New Hampshire Employment Security's Economic and Labor Market Information Bureau (ELMIB) — and like units in state employment security agencies nationwide — gather data on employment and wages in their states from employers covered by unemployment compensation. State employment security agencies and the U.S. Census Bureau also use surveys of employers and of households to gather sample data about LMI components such as employment, earnings and hours, occupations by industry, and labor force status.

The following programs are available from the home page of the ELMI website:

GraniteStats
This web site contains a large variety of workforce and career related information for New Hampshire, such as unemployment rates, employment and wages by industry and occupation, income, census demographics, and education or training programs. GraniteStats includes data from various geographic area types, including counties, in-state and cross-state labor market areas, planning regions, and the nation. One feature of GraniteStats is a listing of New Hampshire business and government entity names, addresses, and telephone numbers.

(The database of U.S. businesses is provided in conjunction with the US Department of Labor and Infogroup, Inc.)

NH Works Job Match System
NH Works Job Match System (JMS) is an application that identifies educational programs eligible for funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). The Performance Accountability and Customer Information Agency (PACIA) within the Economic and Labor Market Information Bureau administer JMS. Through JMS, training and education providers enter information about their programs, and apply for WIOA eligibility. The system includes information about program completers, with the goal of helping customers to make informed decisions about selecting education or training programs. JMS allows job seekers to conduct a job search using Internet spider technology to view jobs posted by employers and match skills to positions posted on national job boards and private industry web sites. The JMS features a résumé and letter builder to generate a new résumé to be sent to employers. Job seekers can also explore the regional labor market for information such as the average weekly earnings for a position or the fastest growing occupations.
