IN Context: Indiana's Workforce and Economy

 

IN Context was launched February 2000 as an integrated publication with a printed version linked to a comprehensive data base available on the Internet at http://ibrc.indiana.edu/incontext.

The publication is designed to compile and provide previously scattered data and feature articles about Indiana's economy. It is a collaboration among three organizations: the Labor Market Information division in the Indiana Department of Workforce Development; the Research Division of the Indiana Department of Commerce; and the Indiana Business Research Center.
