Businesses Asked to Help the City of Hamilton Plan for the Future
Hamilton, ON – May 16, 2016 – The City of Hamilton is calling on all small and medium businesses and large enterprises to respond to the Annual Employment Survey. The survey conveys information to the City that is vital to planning for future facilities, initiatives and services for citizens and businesses across Hamilton.
This comprehensive survey of businesses, buildings and employment was first conducted in 2010, within the City of Hamilton’s Downtown, and expanded in 2013 to cover all of the City’s employment, commercial and rural settlement areas.
The 2016 survey will allow the City of Hamilton to continue to:
- Monitor the extent, nature and location of employment and land use
- Track the effectiveness of local employment initiatives
- Monitor changing economic conditions in the City of Hamilton’s employment districts
To assist with data collection, the City of Hamilton has recruited summer students who will be canvassing across the city, meeting with business owners, and completing surveys.
Information is collected directly from employers and the data is treated as strictly confidential. Survey information will only be released in aggregate form to show employment patterns without revealing information on individual businesses.
