Regional Economies Project
- Uses the concept of regional economies and industry clusters to provide an updated look at California’s economy.
- Publishes findings, including industry cluster studies, monographs on key economic and workforce issues, and economic profiles.
- Institutionalized a methodology for studying industry clusters at the County and multi-County levels, applied in the Industry Clusters of Opportunity User Guide.
- Provides non-confidential employment and wage data, prepared by the Employment Development Department’s Labor Market Information Division, as the California Regional Economies Employment (CREE) Series, as a basis for studying industry clusters. (The CREE provides annual County data at the four-digit NAICS level, back to 1990.)
- Applies this methodology at training sessions.
- About the Project provides detailed information about the Project.
