The Dayton area has added jobs for two consecutive years, the first time that has happened in more than a decade, according to academic researchers.
Area employment has grown from about 363,500 people in 2010 to about 370,700 employed today, according to research by Richard Stock, director of the University of Dayton’s Business Research Group.
Stock was speaking before an MCOFuture public forum at Sinclair Community College Wednesday, the second such forum in a year-long exercise in trying to get citizens involved in addressing Montgomery County’s challenges.
“Better days may well be ahead for Montgomery County, especially for those who get the education and training for growth jobs,” said Kellen Winslow, Central State University athletic director and forum moderator.
Research from Jane Dockery, associate director of Wright State’s Center for Urban and Public Affairs, also showed that education pays dividends.
