Where are the actual jobs?
Where the Jobs Actually Are looks beyond the headline of an economic-development or hiring announcement. Emerald follows the details workers and communities need to evaluate what an announcement may actually mean.
The recurring questions include investment, direct jobs, indirect estimates, occupations, wages, location, hiring timelines, incentives, current status, what has been confirmed and what remains unknown.
