2001 Humboldt, Del Norte, Mendocino and Lake County Economic Profiles Available
A press conference introducing the County Economic and Demographic Profile 2001 series for Humboldt, Del Norte, Mendocino and Lake counties will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, January 12 at the Redwood Region Economic Development Commission, 520 E Street, Eureka.
The 2001 Profiles are the eleventh annual set of profiles the Center for Economic Development, California State University, Chico, has published. New features of this year’s profile series include sections on the environment, business and industry, welfare, education, and children.
The 2001 Profiles contain more extensive data on a comprehensive set of categories including county employment and unemployment, wage and salary income by industry, poverty, housing, and labor force indicators. The profiles, approximately 75 pages in length and costing $25 each, have been used extensively by local government officials and business leaders to plan for the future.
Dan Ripke, director of the CED, said of the profiles, “We believe this is the best, most expanded profile series yet. As the economy and the stock market are showing signs of weakness, it is critical for business and community leaders to have the most current information. This profile series has proven to be a vital resource.”
The center is a private non-profit organization specializing in information resources for businesses and communities in Northern California. Their staff expertise includes business administration, public administration, geography, planning and economics.
