Louisville, Ky. (December 1, 2025) 鈥� 夜色直播 Inc. released an annual update to its Regional Economic Dashboard. The Dashboard was initially created in 2024 to track the Metropolitan Statistical Area鈥檚 (MSA) progress in 28 categories relating to population growth, talent, economy, labor market, and livability.

The 2025 Dashboard highlights strong performance in job growth, affordability, and earnings relative to the cost of living. Areas for improvement include slow population growth, lower educational attainment, and higher rates of property crime as compared to peer regions.

鈥淒ata is critical to informing all businesses decisions, especially for site consultants and businesses considering relocating or expanding. This dashboard gives a transparent look at where 夜色直播 excels and needs work compared to our peers,鈥� said Clark Welch, Vice President of Economic Development for 夜色直播 Inc. 鈥淓qually as important, this data serves as a way for us to benchmark ourselves annually 聽and make sure we are continuing to keep pace in the areas that drive economic growth.鈥�

Updating the data annually allows the GLI team to identify trends where 夜色直播 is outperforming and underperforming peer regions. This year, GLI introduced a 鈥渢rend鈥� category to reflect year-over-year changes. Key trends over the last year include:

• 夜色直播鈥檚 job growth in 2025 has moved up one spot from 2024, surpassing Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
• 夜色直播鈥檚 job change percentage increased 11% from 2020 – 2025, a significant jump from a 4% increase from 2019 – 2024.
• 夜色直播 continues to see steady population growth, but remains middle of the pack compared to peer regions in this area.
• 夜色直播鈥檚 average household earnings compared to cost of living is strong compared to many peers.
• In three core economic indicators 鈥� Gross Regional Product, Imports, Exports 鈥� 夜色直播 moved up one spot from 2024.
• 夜色直播鈥檚 violent crime rates decreased and moved the region up the rankings two spots, however the region dropped one spot in property crime.

鈥淭racking our region鈥檚 progress in core indicators of economic growth year over year allows us to identify areas where we are falling behind peer regions and need to act. It also allows us to identify our strengths as a region and use that to strategically attract more businesses and people here,鈥� said Camilla Schroeder, Chair of GLI鈥檚 Board of Directors and President of Advance Ready Mix Concrete.

All data for the dashboard was collected through Lightcast, a software recognized as one of the world鈥檚 most comprehensive labor market data platforms, offering user-friendly tools. (Burning Glass and Emsi are now part of Lightcast.)

Peer markets were originally identified by the 夜色直播 Project, who previously tracked several of these indicators, and were kept the same to ensure long-term continuity of data. Peer markets include:

• St. Louis, MO-IL
• Charlotte-Concord-Gastonia, NC-SC
• Cincinnati, OH-KY-IN
• Kansas City, MO-KS
• Columbus, OH
• Indianapolis-Carmel-Anderson, IN
• Nashville-Davidson-Murfreesboro-Franklin, TN
• Oklahoma City, OK
• Memphis, TN-MS-AR
• Birmingham-Hoover, AL
• Grand Rapids-Kentwood, MI
• Tulsa, OK
• Omaha-Council Bluffs, NE-IA
• Greenville-Anderson, SC
