Volusia County Economic Development Quarterly Update

Once a Quarter, the team over at Volusia County Economic Development perform a simple, but highly significant act. They update many of Volusia County's movers and shakers on the state of our local economy. The Center for Business Excellence (CBE) has had the pleasure over the past number of years to have received an invite, and let me just say the event is filled with a variety of excellent information. The ECO DEV team gives details on an assortment of local statistics such as; local unemployment numbers, employment by major and select industries, a breakdown of our local labor force by individual local cities, employers that are being vigorously courted for relocation to our county by their team, local wage comparison data, residential permit data, commercial permit data, local home foreclosure data, and a whole host of other local economic information.

This is great information whether you’re a local jobseeker, business person, politician, etc and the best part is that it is provided on their website free of charge. Today’s info may take a couple of days before it reaches their site, but let me say, it is well worth the wait.
