Does Data Matter? ▪Before asking “what,” begin with “why?” ▪Why is this company expanding? ▪Why is it having difficulty finding employees? ▪Why might training help? ▪Data can help provide insight into the problems we can solve. ▪Knowing the background of an issue can also help us anticipate needs. 2

What Do We Get Asked? ▪Common questions generally fall under the following categories: ▪Wage rates for competitive analysis, salary surveys, etc. ▪Affirmative action data for compliance and reporting ▪Population projections for workforce planning ▪Employment projections to design training programs ▪Openings information to find out who is hiring ▪We have information that can answer all of these questions, and more 3

Economic Development Partner Effects ▪Initial Impact ▪This number represents the initial change in jobs as input by the user, and therefore does not include ripple effects. ▪Direct Impact ▪The effect of new input purchases by the initially changed industries. This is the first round of impacts (see“Indirect”). This change is due to inter-industry effects. ▪Indirect Impact ▪The subsequent ripple effect in further supply chains resulting from the direct change. This shows the sales change in the supply chains of the supply chain, as a result of the direct change. This is the second round of impacts (see“Direct”). This change is due to inter- industry effects. ▪Induced impact ▪This change is due to the impact of the new earnings, investment, and government created by the initial, direct, and indirect changes. Induced effects enter the economy as employees spend their paychecks in the region, businesses invest to grow their operations, and government spends more to support the changes. 17
