New Lightcast Workforce Enhancement Now Available in LOIS

November 19, 2025

Nebraska Public Power District’s Economic Development team is excited to announce the launch of the Lightcast Workforce enhancement within the LOIS property marketing platform. This powerful new feature helps communities across NPPD’s service territory strengthen their site marketing efforts with detailed, interactive labor market insights.

What’s New?

The Lightcast Workforce tool provides:

  • Annual average wages and employment counts by occupation and industry
  • Interactive heat maps and custom drive-time analysis
  • Exportable reports in Excel and PDF formats

Why It Matters: 

Workforce availability and cost of labor are two of the most critical factors in the site selection. With this enhancement, your organization can now access this detailed data right inside your LOIS map, empowering you to better market your properties and attract new investment.

What’s Not Changing:

While this new Lightcast data is available to you 24/7, NPPD’s full research services are still available, offering in-depth labor studies, wage analysis and more to support your community’s economic development goals.
