Job Seeker Satisfaction

The Minnesota WorkForce Center System conducts an ongoing survey of its registered job seeking customers. Each year, approximately 5,000 job seekers answer questions by telephone regarding satisfaction with services received. The survey is part of a system effort to incorporate customer feedback into service improvements.

Summary of Major Findings

  • Major findings from the 12 month period, July 07 - June 08
  • Review interesting sample customer comments like these: "The resume seminar was very helpful, there was a lot of information that I didn't know, and they really helped me to upgrade my resume" and "They need to do a better job of returning calls. I would call and not hear back from them for at least two days. I would sometimes end up having to call them again."

Background on the Reports

The WorkForce Center System contracts with an outside survey vendor, the Strategic Research Group (SRG) of Columbus, Ohio, to ensure neutrality in interviewing and independence in reporting. SRG reports quarterly and year-to-date results at the end of February, May, August and November. See below for further reports for the entire WorkForce Center System, each program, and each local area or Workforce Service Area (WSA).
