The latest NMC Scan is now available for download on the ORPE employee site page. This biannual edition is dedicated to understanding demographics on a local, regional, state and national level. Data include population changes, median income levels, unemployment data, high growth occupations and industries in our region, and educational attainment levels to name a few. Check out the May NMC Scan, and please send feedback to kruedinger@nmc.edu.

If you enjoy monitoring trends in the environment such as those topics covered by the NMC Scan, please consider joining a “futures” community of practice lead by faculty member Steve Rice and Scan coordinator Karen Ruedinger. Contact Steve (5-1024) to learn more about this new group starting up in the fall.
