Jobs and Employment Data Exchange (JEDx)
JEDx is developing a public-private approach for collecting and using standards-based jobs and employment data that will enhance government reporting, workforce analytics, and empower people to use their own records to pursue opportunities and advancement.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation and the T3 Innovation Network launched the JEDx initiative to develop a public-private approach for collecting and using standards-based jobs and employment data. This initiative builds on the Chamber Foundation’s Job Data Exchange (JDX) initiative, to promote public-private standards for job descriptions and postings, and the T3 Innovation Network’s Employment and Earnings Records Standards Project, to develop and use public-private standards for comprehensive employment and earnings records.
This initiative is developing a vision and roadmap for a public-private data collaborative that can improve the collection and use of standards-based jobs and employment data for public and private applications including:
JEDx Value Proposition
The U.S. Chamber Foundation engaged the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) to assess employer perceptions of the JEDx value proposition.
JEDx Phases
Workshift

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation today announced the next steps in developing the Job Data Exchange (JDX), a set of open data tools and resources that will improve the speed and clarity of employer signaling to education, training, and credentialing partners, which in turn will help learners and workers better understand what jobs are available and what skills are required to fill them. Central to the pilot will be the development and field testing of an expanded data standard, or schema, for job descriptions and postings.
