6. They Want Help In Getting
Access To Top Talent.
For the first time in American history, the

4/25/2014 6
NO
8. Third Question
Do economic development
professionals believe they create

4/25/2014 8
9. They Want To Be Accountable
For Facilitating Community
Strategic Planning .
• 97% agree employers create jobs. Only 2% felt
economic development professionals.
• 30% felt year-over-year job growth was not a good
performance measure (only 24% indicated it was).

NO
10. Fourth Question
4/25/2014 10
So If:
• Job growth only impacts 2.4% of the population.
• CEOs don’t want help creating jobs.
• ED pros don’t believe they create jobs and don’t
feel they should be measured based on job growth.
Then What Should We Measure?
11. Job Growth Is Only One
Piece Of A Complex Puzzle
