Workforce
The EDB provides several reports on Sonoma County’s Workforce. These reports are generally produced annually and are meant to give you a snapshot of current and future employment conditions.
Workforce Development Survey
Please take a few minutes to complete the 2023 Sonoma County Workforce Development Survey, produced by the Sonoma County Economic Development Board and Workforce Investment Board.
The 2023 Workforce Development Survey is intended to gain an insight and understanding of the training needs that will be required for the incoming workforce over the next few years. The data gathered by the survey will help local development and workforce boards in collaborating their efforts with other agencies and organizations to help build a foundation to upskill the Sonoma County community through the consideration of the results.
