Part 1: The Hampton Roads Economy Midway Through The Decade, Regional Studies Institute, Old Dominion University Jan 2005

Part 1: The Hampton Roads Economy Midway Through The Decade, Regional Studies Institute, Old Dominion University

State of the Region Reports: Hampton Roads

Our regional economy continues to perform better than the Commonwealth of Virginia and the nation. The 2000-2004 time period is the best five year time period our region has experienced since 1969. Employment increased four times as rapidly as national employ-ment and we experienced significant job growth in scientific, technical and information technology occupations—-something that has largely eluded us in the past.

Thus, the empirical result establishes the linkage between small business, economic growth and the incidence of poverty.

Part 3: The State Of The Regional Economy, Regional Studies Institute, Old Dominion University Jan 2000

Part 3: The State Of The Regional Economy, Regional Studies Institute, Old Dominion University

State of the Region Reports: Hampton Roads

(First Paragraph) Many factors come into play when predicting the future of the Hampton Roads economy. Defense spending, non-defense-sector growth and a commitment to collaboration among private and public high-tech industries are three very large variables that contribute to the region's pulse and prospects for long-term health. All of these factors, as we will see here, are interconnected. Per capita income, often used to measure a region's economic well-being, should continue to exhibit "baseline improvement" in Hampton Roads, but if the standard of living is to rise above average, some changes would need to be made to the region's economic …
