“You can’t manage what you don’t measure,” Greater Memphis Chamber CEO and President Ted Townsend said about the report. “Having the economic indicators that reflect the strength or lack thereof of Memphis as an economy, for us, is important because we don’t shape any initiatives or strategies that aren’t data-informed.” (Patrick Lantrip/The Daily Memphian file)
The report uses data from 2019 to 2021 to compare Memphis to peer cities using 31 indicators in three categories: economic foundation and stability, economic enablers for growth and economic outcomes.
