2026 495/MetroWest Employer Survey

The 495/MetroWest Partnership invites business and organizational leaders across our region to take part in our annual 495/MetroWest Employer Survey! This survey is a collaborative effort between the 495/MetroWest Partnership and Framingham State University's MetroWest Economic Research Center (MERC). Over the past decade, this survey has proven an important tool in gauging business confidence in the 495/MetroWest region. Now being conducted for the 13th year running, the survey is an opportunity for our region’s employers to communicate concerns and challenges, which can guide policymakers in considering needed changes and investments. The survey is also an important tool in forecasting future growth by regional employers, and in identifying warning signs of challenges to come.

Our 2026 Employer Survey closed on May 1st. Check back here soon for results and analysis!
