DICKINSON, N.Y. — The Agency says it has developed a new Broome County dashboard to provide a snapshot of how the local economy is doing emerging from the virus crisis.
The organization worked on the project in partnership with data and software experts at eImpact, a Portland, Oregon–based company.

Data points that the dashboard tracks include historical hiring trends, annual average income per industry, labor distribution, in addition to COVID-19 key performance indicators. Changes in employment, small-business revenue trends, and real-estate data are just some of the COVID-19 specific data sets included in the dashboard.
