MERIC is the research division of the Missouri Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development's Office of Performance & Strategy. We provide innovative analyses and assistance to policymakers and the public, including studies of the state's economic trends, targeted industries, and labor markets.

MERIC research also includes workforce region studies, spatial analyses, and comprehensive coverage of the state's industry and occupational data produced in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Labor. MERIC has been recognized with 15 national awards for research excellence since it was formed in 2001.
