Lemke, PhD., completed the studyand produced a 26-page report as a businessrecruitment resource for PCDC. The final reportis published on the PCDC website and givesbusiness leaders the information they need tomake growth or expansion decisions.“NPPD provides this and other reports toassist our customer communities in their effortsto grow local businesses and improve an area’seconomy,” Lemke said. “We focus on providinganswers to the most often asked questions aboutthe size and composition of the labor market.”Lemke said the report makes a communitymore competitive for potential projects.
