​The Chico Economic Snapshot™ tells a story of economic performance following the recession. As you can see in the examples below, the local economy was hit hardest in the years following 2007, hitting its lowest point of the recession in Q1 11.  Since then, strong overall increases in the Index led by the performance of Transient Occupancy Tax, Sales Tax, and Employment have the Chico economy nearing a full recovery soon.

The latest Chico Business Confidence Survey™ shows a high level of optimism among business leaders in the community. Many are expecting to see increases in sales and even expect to hire more employees. Overall, the business leaders are expecting strong performance in the next 12 months.
