-Breakout: Data and Information: Fueling Your Economy

Data provide the foundation for myriad decisions made by economic developers and elected officials. Available resources for data have increased over the past few years, from Census, Bureau of Economic Analysis, Bureau of Labor Statistics, and many private sources. This workshop will focus on a combination of hard skills associated with data research and utilization, discussion on effective uses of data, and what are that ‘data holes' that need to be filled. 

What you will learn: 

  • How can you leverage all of the options out there into useful information to better inform your next big decision? 
  • What information proves the most influential when communicating your needs to your local-elected officials? 
  • What data do you need that you're NOT getting and how can economic developers communicate that to data collectors?
