Our Regional Economic Scorecard
Since SCOPE is always interested in other data collecting projects happening in our area, we want to show you the 2007 Regional Economic Scorecard, released by the Tampa Bay Partnership.
The Tampa Bay Partnership is a regional organization encompasing Hernando, Hillsborough, Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk and Sarasota counties. They work with partners to "market the region nationally and internationally, to conduct regional research and to coordinate efforts to influence business and government issues that impact economic growth and development". They have been publishing the Regional Economic Scorecard for the last four years.
In this edition of the scorecard, they bring attention to the four key findings of the most recent report:
• Job creation has slowed by more than half;
• While wages still lag behind the competition, the rate of growth leads all regions and continues
to close the gap;
• Personal income and economic output both grew at a healthy rate; and
• The impact of the housing slowdown has become even more pronounced across all regions
but is most evident in Tampa Bay.
For in-depth discussion of these findings and more, click here to read the Scorecard
