Why does e3.ky.gov use geographic searches?
Geography is an excellent tool for comparing diverse data from a wide variety of sources. This is especially true with education, employment, and economic development data. e3.ky.gov’s search engines allow you to compare “apples to apples.” For instance, if you are considering several Kentucky business locations, you likely would be interested in knowing whether a certain geographic area could provide a qualified workforce, education and training institutions to train workers, other businesses that might supply goods and services. e3.ky.gov uses geography to focus these data into relevant snapshots of the Commonwealth’s economy.
