| The Fairfax County Economic Index, comprised of a coincident
index and a leading index, provides a framework for analyzing
the strength of the current County economy and for forecasting
future economic changes. Being able to track the local economy's
monthly performance and forecast this performance over the near-term,
gives local government and business decision-makers a critical
advantage -- enabling them to reduce the risk of being caught
unprepared for changes in the economy's performance. |
