Indiana's Economic Health
As the economy struggles in some areas, the question arises as to how we are doing in Indiana.
The chart above shows that overall; Indiana appears to be holding its own.
Personal Income in up 4.1%, unemployment rates are up from a year ago, but still below the national average and they did not rise as much as the national average.
Manufacturing jobs are down, but non-manufacturing jobs are up.
What is sad about this chart is that southern Indiana (the New Albany area) is no longer even listed as a major independent area of the state.
At the turn of the century, the New Albany area was the place to be.
Is it possible to regain our status or are we satisfied with the status-quo?
