Boston Jobs Policy Compliance Reports

Since 1983, the Boston Residents Jobs Policy sets employment standards for City sponsored, privately funded, and federally mandated development projects taking place in the City. This compliance report dataset provides information on how project managers and specific development projects are meeting the requirements of the policy based on the workers they employ. By collecting and publishing data on the Residents Jobs Policy, the City seeks to reduce racial and gender inequality within construction projects, and also provide greater employment opportunities for residents of Boston.

Update 10/7/22: Work was recently completed to incorporate data from multiple methods of collecting compliance data currently in use, correcting the previously noted issue that the dataset did not contain all compliance projects, specifically those from 2019 to present.
