CRI has celebrated 25 years of service to Northeast Indiana
The Community Research Institute (CRI) is one of IPFW's commitments at the Fort Wayne campus to the growth and development of northeast Indiana. The Institute serves as one of the portals linking the academic expertise at IPFW with the needs of the public and non-profit sectors in northeast Indiana by providing research and analytical support in the areas of socio-economic data, urban planning, municipal finance, public policy and economic development.
Information is available on CRI's web site on various economic measures regarding the local economy such as employment and income and other area economic data. Also available on this web site is access to CRI's reports, the "TOP 100" (or major employers) list, and a list of other local and national economic resources. CRI also maintains economic data on the 10-county Northeast Indiana region. In addition, CRI played a major role in the recent Indiana Commission on Local Government Reform. John Stafford, director of CRI, was part of this blue-ribbon commission, chaired by former Governor Joseph E. Kernan and Chief Justice Randall T. Shepard.

| 2010 Northeast Indiana Occupational Wage & Benefit Survey | |
|---|---|
For the first time in several years, a Wage and Benefit Reports will be specifically created for northeast Indiana businesses. This is a collaborative effort between the economic development groups in the 11 counties, WorkONE Northeast, and the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership with the data being collected and analyzed by the Community Research Institute at IPFW. Only benefit data is being requested from you. CRI will use occupation wage data recently collected from the Indiana Department of Workforce Development to complete the report. Depending on the responses received, it is CRI’s intent to analyze and present the data by various business characteristics such as number of employees or type of business. Once all the data has been collected and analyzed, the 2010 Northeast Indiana Occupational Wage and Benefit Report will be available for your use. |
