Lee County Executive Business Climate Survey First Quarter 2021 Report
The RERI has published the Lee County Executive Business Climate Survey Report for the first quarter of 2021. The goal of the survey is to capture the assessment of and expectations for the local economy, the workforce, and industry of business owners in Lee County.
The research team uses this information to create the Executive Business Climate Index for Lee County, which the Horizon Council and FGCU have been tracking since 2012. The index takes on a value between 0 and 100, with 0 meaning the economy is substantially worse and 100 indicating the economy is substantially better. The index fell to 52.8 in the first quarter of 2021, down 3 points from the previous quarter and 9.7 points below the first quarter of 2020.
The survey also features a set of special topic questions that change each month. The goal of these questions is to learn more about business owner perspectives on more current events. Special topic questions in the latest survey focused on the new presidential administration, the new minimum wage laws passed in Florida Amendment 2, and corporate trainings.
A copy of the latest report can be found below. To learn more about the reports we publish, please visit the research page of our website!
