When I started this blog it was to help educate the economist in you. My first writing was titled Stark County Ohio http://mccartneyseconomy.blogspot.com/2008/11/stark-county-ohio.html. It sited a mixture of National Bureaus with facts about the community’s poor economic condition, which continues to worsen to this day. What bothers me is that the current public leaders can not foresee these same patterns and have not created any progression in solutions.
I’m baffled, frustrated and all around PO’d as to why none of Stark County's leaders activated the emergency economic development button.
On June 2, 2009 The Adversity Index, from msnbc.com and Moody's Economy.com, measures the economic health of 381 metro areas and all 50 states. Each area is in recession, at risk, recovering or expanding. On this map you can explore changes in the four components of the index: employment, housing starts, housing prices and industrial production, each shown as a percentage change from a year earlier. (The change in housing prices will be updated at the end of the quarter.) Roll over a state to see its numbers. Click on a state to see details for its metro areas. Slide left or right to see data for different months. Click play to see all the months. Use the forward and back buttons to step a month at a time. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29976394
This information provides reasonable support for my research and provides an interactive approach throughout the years of 1995 to 2009.
Now I did not go as far back as 1995. Mine started at the year 2000. What I have done was create a projection forecast to 2014 with some pickings of 2020 and 2030 for the local. I can identify those "dynamic growth drivers" that create new foundations and the proper procedures of such foundations. A real workable and conceptional plan with what we have available against our current economical and global challenges.
Our future is dependent on many conditions that our everyday activities don’t allow us to focus on. I have taken that time and because I decided to become an economic leader, the data that I have collected has been from a Magellan approach lead by the reverse engineering of the information gathered while working in Vietnam. My research is 2 years of continued real time information that has been exhausting to develop but I have been very committed to making things better for our community. I have always been pretty good with numbers and analysis. I like it and it suits me.
