LinkUp Launches Compass, a Visual Multitool for Job Market Insight
LinkUp is excited to announce the release today of Compass—an intuitive digital toolset for analyzing labor demand in real time and living color.
The Compass platform is powered by our comprehensive dataset of hundreds of millions of job openings, sourced directly from employer websites and updated daily since 2007. For the first time, users now have access to interactive and presentation-grade visual renderings of LinkUp’s raw job data—without the usual requirements of data infrastructure, ingestion processes, spreadsheets, or coding.
Compass allows users to query a huge dataset spontaneously through an intuitive interface—doing a fast thesis check on an idea. But it also has enough versatility to employ multiple filters in a structured approach to yield detail and nuanced comparisons. Compass can cater to a wide variety of analytical approaches and workflows.

The Best in U.S. Macro Insight:
LinkUp is opening its line of Compass products with the U.S. Macro Dashboard, a robust set of analytics measuring millions of job openings across the full scope of the U.S. job market. The product delivers both monthly and weekly labor demand data—providing top-down insights on U.S. job growth up to weeks faster than the Non-farm payrolls (NFP) & JOLTs reports released with a month’s lag time by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Today there’s just no reason to be solely reliant on lagged, increasingly suspect survey-based data. With LinkUp Compass and our incredibly powerful and accessible job market data sourced daily directly from employer websites, we deliver deep, forward-looking insights into what’s driving the job market and, as a result, the U.S. and even the global economy as a whole.
