A Look at the Economic Outlook for Erie PA

credit:

From the report issued by the Erie Times-News and GoErie:

What we can learn by looking back to 2021 is that Erie is forging its own tale, one that seems to be unattached from the past and from the statistics that indicate our collective success or failure. A look at the numbers that serve as a report card for the last couple of years reveals a mixed bag of accomplishments.

It was only last year that the magnitude of the economic impact dealt by the widespread COVID-19 shutdowns in 2020 became evident, after the publication of gross domestic product figures for that year.

During the course of our research for Erie 2022, the team of the Erie Times-News and GoErie discovered that the county's economic production had been severely hampered by the pandemic and subsequent shutdowns.

During the second year of the epidemic, Erie 2022 showcases some of the success stories from the previous year, including individuals and companies that were able to come away with some good news from a difficult period.

As part of our discussion, we looked at how the year 2021 affected our community and what those changes could mean for us in the months and years to come. We believe that Erie 2022, our yearly economic report, will be informative and possibly even encouraging to you.
