The exodus of commuters who leave the Inland Empire every day to work in Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego number in the hundreds of thousands. Beacon Economics' Founding Partner Christopher Thornberg and the Dean of the University of California at Riverside's School of Business Administration David W. Stewart argue that the region critically needs to develop a more diversified economy - one that offers high-value employment opportunities to its residents. 
Beacon Economics sees a good year ahead for the U.S. economy. The rosy near-term forecast for the nation is based largely on two trends: increasing consumer spending and rising U.S. exports. 
A new Beacon Economics' analysis finds that planned toll lanes along a major Southern California highway could create more than 1,800 local jobs and generate an additional $67 million in local spending. The study, conducted for the Riverside County Transportation Commission, forecasts that the jobs will come from the construction of the toll road and, more indirectly, from quicker drive-times, which will lead to growth in the region.
