Please join us for the fall 2024 State Bank Financial Economic Indicators event, hosted at UW-La Crosse. This engaging economic event features an update on the local economy, presented by Professor of Economics and Dean of the College of Business Administration Taggert (TJ) Brooks as he shares his insights on key trends and future outlooks. The event will also feature a dynamic panel discussion with local business leaders sharing their experiences and strategies in navigating the challenges of a changing interest rate environment.
UW-La Crosse, in cooperation with State Bank Financial and the La Crosse Tribune, initiated a long-term study in early 2002 of our region's economic indicators. The research is ongoing and focuses on trends for a nine-county region that includes counties in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa. This project is expected to continuously build a base of economic information and provide decision makers with valuable tools for strategic planning. The information will also provide a basis for comparison with other regions and a measure of our progress as a region.
In addition to the open forum, findings are also summarized in a publication available on the State Bank Financial website: https://www.statebankfinancial.bank/economic-indicator-reports.html. We have also provided links to the core economic indicators. Readers can use these links as needed for individual research projects.
