Please join the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) and the NADO Research Foundation on Thursday, July 25, 2013, for an informative webinar about STATS America.
STATS America, developed by the Indiana Business Research Center (IBRC) at Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business, is a web portal that uses data obtained from hundreds of federal, state, and private sources to make available numerous analytical tools that will be of use to economic development stakeholders in the private, public, and nonprofit sectors. These tools include profiles of all 50 states and 3,141 counties, with numerous economic and demographic indicators that are updated regularly.
The free webinar is scheduled for Thursday, July 25, 2013, from 2:00–3:15 p.m. Eastern Time.

The webinar will be conducted by Brian Kelsey of the NADO Research Foundation, who will illustrate not only the types of data available, but how they can be used in various aspects of economic development planning. The STATS America data tools, for example, can help measure distress at the county, region, or neighborhood level, and may be very useful in your project review and management processes.
