MISSION

The mission of Research Institute on Social and Economic Policy (RISEP) is to conduct high quality, empirical research examining issues of concern to low and moderate income workers and their families in Southeast Florida and the state of Florida.

FOCUS

It also contains data on Florida's work force, labor market statistics, wage levels, poverty, employment, shifts in jobs, quality of employment, immigration, race and gender statistics, etc. It aims to be a "one stop site" for Florida work and labor force statistics, and we encourage users to bookmark it for future use.
