Dorchester County Economic Development is excited to continue highlighting the Delmarva Index, an interactive data platform developed by the Eastern Shore Regional GIS Cooperative (ESRGC) at Salisbury University that tracks key regional indicators including population, economy, housing, workforce, and health, to support informed decision-making across the Delmarva Peninsula. Each month, the newsletter features a different dashboard to spotlight timely data and encourage deeper exploration of the tool.

This month, we are featuring the Workforce Overview Dashboard.

This month’s featured Delmarva Index dashboard highlights workforce trends across the region. The dashboard provides a comprehensive snapshot of the county’s workforce, demographics, education, employment, business activity, commuting patterns, and income, all in one easy-to-use infographic. With key insights such as population, labor force participation, educational attainment, wages, and the number of local businesses and employees, the dashboard offers valuable information for employers, site selectors, entrepreneurs, educators, grant writers, and workforce development professionals. Whether you’re planning for business growth, evaluating workforce availability, or simply learning more about our local economy, the Workforce Overview Dashboard is an excellent resource for understanding the people and economy that drive Dorchester County.
