The County of Simcoe is continuing its two-year pilot project to conduct an employment survey.

The project was launched in the spring of 2024.

The employment survey will gather information and capture data about the number of businesses and jobs in the County of Simcoe.

Data collected will help the County of Simcoe and local municipalities gain a better understanding of employment areas, establish a baseline of existing businesses, identify employment trends, and acquire a deeper knowledge of the local economy.

The results of the employment survey will offer valuable insights that can significantly improve local municipalities’ decision-making abilities related to future employment planning, while influencing growth strategies and infrastructure investments.

Findings will help gain a better understanding of the County’s economy and support the achievement of sustainable economic growth which will benefit local communities for years to come.

Data collected will be strictly confidential. Only local municipalities and the County of Simcoe will have access to it. Aggregated data and analysis will be posted to Simcoe.ca for the general public to view.

Dedicated County staff will visit businesses across the region to seek participation in the survey.

Businesses that operate within the County of Simcoe are also encouraged to send an email to employsimcoe@simcoe.ca to receive a unique survey link for their workplace.
