Now in its 13th year, the annual NADA Dealership Workforce Study is open for all NADA members to participate.  We encourage you to enroll today to begin the participation process.  Your participation is key to the value of the data provided exclusively to NADA members. 

Participants use the data from this study to evaluate their operations with regards to employee turnover and retention, benefits offerings, pay, hiring and training.

This study provides the latest workforce trends nationally and regionally as well as non-luxury vs. luxury brands.
