Data

Humboldt Economic Index

One of the best-known ongoing, community-based research projects at HSU is the Humboldt Economic Index. The Index has primarily tracked six sectors of the Humboldt County economy (employment, energy consumption, home sales, lumber manufacturing, occupancy rates at hotels/motels/inns, and retail sales) since 1994. Under the supervision of a member of the faculty, currently Professor Erick Eschker, students gather the data and provide analysis and commentary in a report published on the Internet each month.
