What Factors Contribute to Unequal
Economic Development across Space?
• Natural Amenities
• Cultural Amenities
• Human Capital (Workforce)
• Infrastructure
• Jobs follow people vs. people follow jobs?
• More support for jobs follow people in rural areas
• Tax Policy?
How Can we Help?
• Attract and Retain Talented Workers (or any workers)
• Choose Idaho campaign
• Local Policy that encourages workers to stay and attracts new ones (i.e. what
does your target audience want in a community?)
• Create Talent Pipelines within the community
• Amenities Matter to Migration
• What does a new generation look for?
• Infrastructure is important
• Physical Infrastructure
• Roads, Railways, Air Service
• Virtual Infrastructure
• Broadband
