Today, we are going to shine the spotlight on some numbers. You might be wondering, why numbers? Because numbers are a clear language that explains the impact of what we do here at Center for the Future.
When we discuss the economic value of the technology sector, one statistic jumps out: $536,000. This figure represents the economic impact that a single technology job can bring to the Prescott area. It’s a staggering amount, demonstrating the immense power of the tech sector to boost our local economy and create ripple effects throughout the community.
But it doesn’t stop there.
By the year 2027, our commitment and the support of our community will facilitate the addition of 597 jobs to Prescott. This growth will not only provide local residents with rewarding and well-paying employment opportunities but will also contribute to the economic prosperity and resilience of the area. These jobs represent a brighter future, more opportunities for our youth, and a thriving community for us all.
This leads us to another compelling figure – 89%. This is how much higher the median wage for technology jobs is compared to the national median. These aren’t just jobs; they’re careers that offer a pathway to financial security and professional growth.
Now, let’s talk about potential.
Currently, less than 1% of jobs in the Prescott Area are high-tech computer jobs. This small percentage might initially seem like a disadvantage, but it’s actually a tremendous opportunity. It showcases the untapped potential that Prescott has to become a hub for technological innovation and talent.
At Center for the Future, we see these statistics as more than just numbers. They represent the hard work and dedication of our team, the success of the businesses we support, and the strength of the Prescott community. We believe in the potential of our region and are excited to be part of the journey to harness it fully.
Our goal is not just about job creation or economic growth. It’s about building a vibrant and thriving community, fostering innovation, and shaping a prosperous future for Prescott.
Thank you for being part of this journey, and for believing in the future we are building.
