The Younger Research team takes pride in doing calculations by hand when necessary. Instead of depending solely on modern economic development analysis tools that are available, our research utilizes data purchased specifically for local economies from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) instead of national industry averages. Research is conducted on state census of employment and wages and the local economies tax structure to incorporate wage and tax data at the county level. Our methodology yields the most conservative and reliable analysis needed to make strategic financial decisions.
