Is this survey legit or a scam?

To help ensure employers the statistical surveys they receive from us are legitimate and not a scam, we've published a new Surveys web page. It lists the various statistical surveys we conduct in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Labor with links to examples, background about the purpose of the survey, and contact information for those with additional questions. We'd like to give a big shout out to all the South Dakota employers who participate in our surveys: Thank you! Without your cooperation, it would simply not be possible to provide the workforce data we do.
