A Laborshed is defined as the area or region from which an employment center draws its commuting workers.  Laborshed studies show the distribution of the workers regardless of natural or political boundaries.  Laborsheds also address underemployment, the availability and willingness of current and prospective employees to change employment within the workforce, current and desired occupations, wages, hours worked and distance willing to commute to work.  More about laborsheds in Iowa.
