New Tools at YourEconomy.org
Economic development researchers have a number of different websites at their fingertips providing them with needed research data. Each website has a specific focus and provides data to meet the demand. One relatively new website that is quickly becoming a source for regional information about the growth and composition of businesses is YourEconomy.org. In July 2009, YourEconomy.org updated its offering of available data to include industry-level composition and growth data and overall ranking data.
MGI Research: Labor Markets and Offshoring, Global Economic Integration
Rising income dispersion in the United States and other advanced nations has become a source of concern. Since the early 1970s, incomes for the highest U.S. earners have raced ahead, while those at the bottom of the income distribution have stood still and those in the middle barely increased. Even in the current recession, this underlying trend is not reversing.
New Report Reveals Employers Struggling With Poorly Prepared Workforce
In any economy, a skilled workforce is crucial for companies to grow and be successful. A recently released report, the Ill-Prepared U.S. Workforce, Exploring the Challenges of Employer-Provided Workforce Readiness Training, finds that many U.S employers are struggling with workers without the necessary skill sets for the jobs available.
Chapter Review: Globalisation, New Technology and Transformation
For many, globalization, the increasing integration of product, service, financial, and labor markets, is at the core of the economic and social transformation of the last 25 years. To be sure, the extent of globalization is new and unprecedented and it is easy to view globalization as the primary source of these changes. But while the extension of markets beyond national borders has accelerated structural economic change, the real fundamental changes in societies and economies has been the development of information and communications technologies (ICT).
