WorkRise, a research-to-action network on jobs, workers, and mobility, is conducting a national survey to inform policies that deliver real results for workers and local economies.
This survey, which should take no longer than 10 minutes, is a chance to shape where evidence, investment, and innovation go next. We want to hear directly from practitioners, employers, policymakers, researchers, and funders about what matters most right now. Aggregate results will be made public yet individual responses will remain anonymous.
Survey responses will help:
Put your priorities on the agenda by directing researchers to the questions that matter most for improving worker outcomes and business performance.
Influence how dollars get spent by guiding funders toward investments that will have the greatest impact for communities like yours.
Deliver tools you can actually use—timely, actionable evidence to strengthen programs, policies, and employer practices.
Shape the future of the field by determining what gets studied, funded, and scaled across the entire workforce ecosystem.
We encourage you to share the survey with your colleagues and networks. Survey insights will be shared with funders, policymakers, and public-sector leaders to help guide investments and policy priorities toward areas with the greatest impact on job quality and mobility. These findings will also refine WorkRise’s own focus areas, ensuring that on-the-ground perspectives shape where capital, research, and policy attention go next.
