JobsEQ Canvas gives you one workspace to explore how your region performs against its peers, build the charts and maps, and assemble the finished case. No exporting, no rebuilding it somewhere else. Included on all JobsEQ licenses.
Benchmark performance against comparable regions, highlight areas of advantage, and learn from peers. Work on the comparison alongside colleagues, comment in place, and take it from first question to final answer without leaving JobsEQ.
Benchmark Against Peer Regions
Measure workforce size, skills, wages, and growth against similar communities. Show where you are ahead and where lessons can be learned.
Highlight Your Region’s Edge in Business Development
Prove why your area is the best choice for employers. Show strengths in labor supply, industry specialization, or productivity, then publish the case as a dashboard a prospect can see.

Build a Roadmap for Improvement
Identify gaps holding your region back. Apply insights from high-performing peers to guide strategic investments and workforce initiatives, working through the analysis with your team on the same canvas rather than passing versions of it around.
Position Your Region as a Leader
Use JobsEQ data to show where you outperform competitors. Demonstrate leadership in talent pipelines, industry concentration, or wage growth with objective measures, and keep the analysis in JobsEQ so it is there the next time you are asked for it.
Close the Gaps That Matter Most
Pinpoint where peer regions excel and adapt best practices to strengthen your own economy. Transform weaknesses into opportunities for growth.
Peer Comparisons That Drive Regional Strategy
JobsEQ’s Regional Competitiveness Analysis equips you with tools to compare and improve your region across multiple economic dimensions.
Peer Regions Analysis by Consulting Team
Work with Chmura’s economists to create custom peer region scoring. Apply weights across dozens of variables to see where your community leads or lags, and gain actionable insights that generic rankings miss.

Demographic Profile
Compare population, age, education, income, and dozens of other indicators across regions. Quickly build a full demographic picture to highlight your advantages or pinpoint challenges.
Economic Overview Report
Generate a clear report that shows how your region stacks up against peers. Highlight major trends, strengths, and risks in one accessible package for boards, investors, and public audiences, assembled in JobsEQ rather than rebuilt elsewhere once the analysis is done.
Industry and Occupation Benchmarks in Resume Forensics and RTI
Use Resume Forensics and RTI to compare clusters, jobs, and wages across peer regions. Understand specialization, talent supply, and growth patterns that shape competitiveness.
Multiple Data Sources
Draw from employment, demographics, wages, and job postings to provide a complete picture of competitiveness. Bring your own data alongside JobsEQ's, so local performance indicators sit in the same comparison as the labor market numbers instead of in a separate file.
Peer Region Normalization
Adjust comparisons for population, workforce size, and other variables to make evaluations fair and relevant.
Continuous Updates
Regular data refreshes ensure that your Regional Competitiveness Analysis reflects current market conditions, and the analysis stays in JobsEQ, so updating it does not mean rebuilding it.
Peer Region Selection Guidance
Work with our consultants to select the most relevant peer regions for meaningful comparison.
Targeted Competitiveness Studies
Commission deeper dives into specific industries or workforce dynamics to refine your strategy.
