The Department of Commerce has launched a new Economic Recovery Dashboard, a tool that uses a variety of data sources to track Washington’s economic recovery and resiliency. The dashboard was developed with federal CARES Act funding and provides metrics designed to improve our understanding of the impacts of COVID-19 and help inform decisions by local, regional, and state leaders. You can find the new Economic Recovery Dashboard here, and additional information about the dashboard here.
