Tale of twenty cities

Only weeks ago Amazon announced the top 20 candidate cities still in the running to capture the lofty honor of being home to Amazon’s second headquarters—or ‘HQ2’. Amazon culled their short list from a whopping 238 bids since the deadline for submissions in mid-October 2017. Factors affecting the decision process included proximity to a city center, quality of commute for potential workers, proximity to an airport, demographic diversity, and an emphasis on revitalizing an existing building rather than moving into something newly-constructed.

Technology has been scary lately if you’re employed in manual labor.

Every few weeks in the news cycle it seems as though apocalyptic headlines like “Technology could kill 5 million jobs by 2020 ” or “Robots will destroy our jobs – and we're not ready for it ” creep above the fold.

It's that time of year again... It's data season at IMPLAN!

This week saw the release of IMPLAN’s Panel Data, which opens up new opportunities for statistical, shift share, or industry growth analyses—to name just a few.

You've commissioned an economic impact analysis to give your organization the edge it needs in its fight to develop your local economy. But before you start making claims and promoting your study's results, make sure they're accurate.

It's not youR STUDY, it's your data.

You need data. And an analytical tool to help put it to use. We’ve got both.

One of IMPLAN’s many uses is to simply quantify the impact of a given industry on its local economy—not a specific firm, but an entire sector.

That's exactly what CalNonprofits and a team of researchers at the University of San Diego did in their 2014 study, Causes Count: The Economic Power of California's Nonprofit Sector.
