Quad Cities Area Business and Economic Outlook

The Quad Cities Economic Outlook Breakfast was held on March 6, 2008 at the Holiday Inn Hotel & Conference Center.  As a part of that event, the Western Illinois University Department of Economics distributed a brochure with statistics and commentary related to the Quad Cities economic outlook.  We invite you to download a copy of that brochure from the link below.

In the coming weeks and months, we will be publishing brief updates on this website and by late summer or early fall, we will release another outlook similar to this one.  For that summer/fall issue, we plan to update some of the data from this spring's issue as well as introduce some new data.  If you are in business in the Quad Cities metro area and would like to be on our e-mail distribution list to be notifed of new updates and/or would be interested in being part of an upcoming survey of Quad Cities businesses, please send an e-mail to Bill Polley (wj-polley@wiu.edu).  We look forward to hearing from you.
