- Labor and Economic Statistics of Kentucky
We will take a broad and data-centered approach as we discover more about the economic wellbeing of Kentucky. Regardless of how things feel, we will remain committed to the facts. These facts will come from a variety of trusted sources and will be observed over time to gain a wide perspective. These statistics will cover a variety of topics, like unemployment rate, population growth, and median wages.

After we take a broad approach on the economy of Kentucky, we will zoom in on individual counties and communities. Although data and statistics are critical to analyzing strategies for growth, we will remain committed to a people-first approach as well. Through interviews and travel, we will explore first-hand what it is like to live as a Kentuckian. With 120 counties, there are years and miles ahead to explore.

In order to support Kentucky entrepreneurs and business owners, part of this site’s content will be dedicated to business advice and practical help for those who are self-employed or employers themselves.

Who is Colin Horn?
My name is Colin Horn and I am a Martin County, KY native. That is where I spent the first eighteen years of my life and I now hang my hat in Lexington, KY as a student at the University of Kentucky. I am currently finishing up my bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, which has helped me appreciate the technological growth and economic impact made by engineering companies within Kentucky. It has also given me a great love for and skillset to analyze data and statistics. Growing up in Appalachia, I realized how pivotal of a role that a livable wage can play for a family. That is why I want to create awareness of our great state’s economic health and share the stories of our communities to the world.
You might be thinking “that’s a lot of Kentucky”… and you’d be right. That’s what this blog is all about, after all. From the western tips of Paducah and Elkton to the eastern mountain tips of Pikeville and Inez, my heart goes out to the commonwealth. I love the entire state and always have. My dream is to be a part of the Kentucky community and stay involved in promoting the economic wellbeing of my home for as long as I live, regardless of my geographical location.
