How to use the Job Quality and Access tool

A new overlay allows you to see access to transit, and you can adjust the importance or weights of factors to meet your needs. Select a county (or our entire region) and an occupation. Then select whether you're seeking information about job quality or job access. Add factors such as education, experience, and more. The results will provide detailed information about that occupation in a specific area.
