regional statistics

The Tri-State region's high school graduation rate exceeds the national average, demonstrating a strong network of public and private K-12 educational institutions.
Regional college graduation rates among our residents are slightly lower than the national average. Keep in mind that this statistic is for residents only. This does not take into consideration the rate of graduates who leave the region for opportunities elsewhere. The out-migration of young, college-educated workers from the nation's rural areas was prevalent throughout the last two decades. However, some recent studies suggest that this trend may be shifting post-pandemic.
The percent of residents 16 and older who are currently employed, enlisted in the armed forces, or actively seeking employment have jobs at a rate slightly below the national average. Availability of transportation and job density likely contribute to the slightly lower participation rate. Job density refers to the number of available jobs per acre. The Tri-State Development region has a job density of 0.02 compared to 0.06 nationally.
We tend to scatter as we head off to work. Our regional workforce doesn't seem to mind traveling to their workplace, with higher rates than the national average crossing state lines for their paychecks. And though we may have to drive a little further to work, it takes less time than average. We aren't fighting traffic to get to work or back home.
We are an innovative and entrepreneurial workforce with a significant number of self-employed residents, outpacing the national average. Highlighting entrepreneurial opportunities and providing services to small businesses within our region will help boost this workforce sector.
