What’s Going on in the Quincy-Area Economy?

What’s Going on in the Quincy-Area Economy? March 5, 2014

[share]

On February 18th, Kevin L. Kliesen, a Business Economist and Research Officer with the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, gave a presentation to the Quincy Rotary Club entitled, “A Look at the National and Local Economic Landscape”.

 

The presentation included a review of U.S. economic conditions and an outlook for the Quincy-area economy, including key trends that will likely affect a rural economy like ours over the next few years.

 

Here are a few highlights from the presentation:

  • Per Capita Income QuincyThe performance of the U.S. economy should be better than last year.
  • Consumers and large businesses are becoming a bit more upbeat. Small businesses appear less optimistic.
  • Illinois’ economic performance the past few years has been boosted by strong export growth.
  • Midwest manufacturing activity has grown faster than the nation the past few years.
  • Quincy has seen healthy growth of real per capita income compared with other areas.

 

Mr. Kliesen concluded with an outlook for the Quincy-area economy:

  • Key indicators suggest that that Quincy economy has outperformed many areas of the state.
  • Like most cities its size, Quincy both benefits from and is harmed by national and international trends.
  • The so-called manufacturing “renaissance” will continue to benefit Quincy and surrounding areas over the near term.
  • Longer term, demographics present both opportunities and challenges for Quincy and other rural areas.
