FOI #25-386 - Subject - Student Labor/Employment Data Inquiry

Name - Student Student

Affiliation -

I am looking to compile some data on on campus jobs that students have. While we are featuring students who work in various roles on campus such as in Dining Services, Residential Life, UConn Athletics, Student Activities, etc.. I was hoping to see if you had any sort of data about the number of students who do have on campus jobs and how many students are employed at each department/office. I assume places like Dining Services have the most student labor openings than for say Student Activities, but I was hoping to get current data to compile to complement the features in the magazine.

Please send the data in the form of the CSV, xlsx, or whatever is easiest.
