Potential is boundless. Economic activity continues to be fueled by a skilled workforce, diverse manufacturing base, and vibrant service and retail sections. New and existing businesses and manufacturers regularly announce expansions and workforce additions. Greater Lafayette's labor force totals nearly 100,000 workers. A hub of economic activity, the area currently draws workers from eight counties.
Growth also spans the medical, financial, retail, and recreation sectors.
