Making a decision on business expansion or relocation depends on thoroughly doing your homework. That means research. Just what is the labor market situation and general population profile for an area under consideration? How's the economy in the region? Answers to those and other questions are critical

Along these lines, The Partnership can be a helpful resource. Research and data collection are prime dimensions of the agency's overall mission. So, look to The Partnership to help you find information about elements such as the labor market or the area's population profile. The Partnership frequently publishes this research and data in documents such as the quarterly business report and annual economic profile.

In this section of the Web site, you'll find some of that research. Look for information on:

• Quarterly Business Report
• Labor Market
• Population
• Major Employers
• Area Economic Profile
• Central Minnesota Labor Force Assessment Study
