I don't know about you, but I'm not much of a resolutions person. Instead, I see the new year as a time to reflect and recharge. In that spirit, as I usually do each New Year, we will look at some fundamental economic and socioeconomic data about the valley over the next few weeks. We [...]
I always find it fascinating to see how the Coachella Valley compares demographically with other geographic areas. Such comparisons give a fresh perspective on what is unique about our Valley. What are our particular strengths and weaknesses? Today we will compare the distribution of our workforce in terms of "class of worker." The US Census [...]
No more Summit Report sneak peeks. I'm thrilled to announce that the official Economic Report for 2023 is now available for download on our website. We are excited to share with you nearly 75 pages of comprehensive business and socioeconomic data about the Coachella Valley. Enjoy our economist Dr. Manfred Keil's "big picture" discussion, COVID-19 [...]
As a nation, we have many, many conflicting opinions and beliefs about the state of the American economy. One fact cannot be refuted, however. Employment in the US continues to rise, albeit at a recently lower rate. Today’s Data Digest shows a map of where the working-aged population resides in the Coachella Valley and how [...]

That discussion centered on how many workers commuted into each city and conversely how many residents commuted out or worked in their city of residence. Here we will explore where residents work and how far they commute for their employment. This map [...]
CVEP’s central mission is to empower economic regionalism. We’re not complaining, but with a region comprised of nine incorporated cities and additional unincorporated areas, embracing regionalism is a challenge. Today’s digest looks at regionalism by investigating where residents live and work. In which city do most residents both live and work? Which city exports the [...]
Can you think back to 2018? That was FIVE years ago. Not two or three years as it feels to me due to the lost COVID years. So much has changed irrevocably like how we think about work. Here at CVEP, we have highlighted the business effects of the pandemic. For instance, the disproportionate number [...]
Procuring a thorough listing of area businesses is daunting. Many business databases exist, but they can be frustratingly incomplete or out of date. The best way is of course the most difficult and time-consuming: conducting door-to-door physical searches of business locations. Since this is mostly impractical, databases will have to do. Esri’s subscription Business Analyst [...]
Halloween was a special treat for all of us at CVEP. We presented our annual Economic Summit live after 2 years of virtual summits due to COVID precautions.
