    Abstract

    <p> The objective of this study is to continue monitoring the economic performance of Northeast Ohio&rsquo;s (NEO) metropolitan areas over time and in comparison to other metropolitan areas across the United States, particularly leading metropolitan areas and other large metro areas located in the Midwest. The study monitors economic conditions prior to the current recession. This fourth study of dashboard indicators describes the findings using the framework that was developed in previous studies. It uses the same four measures of economic growth and nine dashboard indicators and their underlying variables for 136 metropolitan areas with population between 300,000 and 3.5 million. The NEO region is represented by its four Metropolitan Statistical Areas, including Akron, Canton&hyphen;Massillon, Cleveland&hyphen;Elyria&hyphen;Mentor, and Youngstown&hyphen;Warren&hyphen;Boardman.</p>
