Monitor workforce change
Track hiring, separations, occupations, grades, agencies, regions, and workforce composition over time.
Workforce analytics platform
INSIGHT+ makes the federal workforce visible.
Integrated Network Solutions in Government Hiring Trends connects personnel, occupations, job postings, geography, institutions, and external labor-market data.
The platform
A common analytic environment for public-service labor markets.
INSIGHT+ transforms fragmented federal workforce data into a documented, extensible infrastructure for research, teaching, and evidence-based workforce strategy.
The project integrates federal personnel and hiring data with occupational classifications, labor-market measures, geographic context, and institutional attributes. Researchers can examine patterns across agencies, occupations, places, time, and career stages rather than relying on isolated snapshots.
The interactive dashboard remains on the legacy domain while its GSU deployment is completed.

What INSIGHT+ enables
Move from description to explanation and foresight.
The infrastructure supports descriptive dashboards, causal research, cross-sector matching, forecasting, and tailored analytical access for different kinds of users.
Evaluate policy shocks
Study shutdowns, remote-work policy, reorganization, political change, and other interventions across agencies.
Connect external context
Match federal data to private labor markets, wages, occupations, geography, ideology, and institutional structure.
Forecast skills and tasks
Connect occupational specifications to emerging AI capabilities and future workforce-development scenarios.
Support practitioners
Translate analysis into data stories, briefings, workforce diagnostics, and decision-relevant visualizations.
Train students
Provide a live environment for data engineering, computational social science, public management, and policy research.
Data pipeline
Designed for reproducible, extensible research.
INSIGHT+ is more than a dashboard. Its value lies in the documented pipeline that converts multiple administrative sources into linked, research-ready data.
Acquire
Ingest personnel, hiring, occupational, geographic, and external labor-market sources.
Transform
Clean, standardize, deduplicate, classify, and harmonize records across time and systems.
Link
Connect agencies, occupations, locations, job text, institutional measures, and outcomes.
Deliver
Serve dashboards, APIs, research extracts, data stories, and teaching applications.
Research powered by INSIGHT+
Questions the infrastructure helps answer.
Each project uses a shared data foundation while adding topic-specific measures, theory, and design.
Do political disruptions change who joins and leaves government?
Linked recruitment and personnel data measure applications, selections, voluntary exits, and involuntary separations across exposed and unexposed agencies.
Read about the researchDoes workplace flexibility broaden federal labor markets?
Job-posting text, location, occupation, and applicant outcomes show how remote eligibility changes recruitment reach and behavior.
Explore remote-work researchWhich tasks are likely to be complemented, augmented, or substituted?
Occupational knowledge is paired with a structured inventory of AI capabilities for scenario-based workforce analysis.
View the CAS frameworkHow much do workers value the stability of federal employment?
Federal and private postings can be matched to estimate wage–amenity tradeoffs and changes after a visible shock to job stability.
