Get a closer look with regional snapshots that present a deep dive into local contexts for 30 selected extended metropolitan areas (EMAs). These analyses give precise drivers of growth and data-driven indicators for labor supply, consumer demand and embedded growth characteristics. Each snapshot breaks down an EMA’s distinct mix of industries, showing employment and output shares by sector—metrics that point to factors of productivity, while allowing for comparisons to the same measures at the national level. Analyzing these data along with input from local experts allows us to paint a holistic picture of an EMA’s economic outlook and points definitively to current opportunities and challenges specific to each area.
