We were thinking today about the economy and all the speculation about where it is going and realized there is not any buzz about American Indian economies in the mainstream media. None of us are economists, but we wonder if AIS counts as some sort of economic indicator, though of course its a select audience and anything but scientific.
The top hits on the AIS main categories give a snapshot of what sectors are growing, or at least in demand in Indian Country: Construction, Consulting, All Tribes, and Chambers of Commerce. Behind the scenes we are getting a more detailed look, and it it appears as though the construction, security and just about everything technology and media related is on fire! As we head into the spring and summer we expect tourism and entertainment to pick up, as well as a few other American Indian business development sectors.
Hopefully the economy, Indian or otherwise, will remain strong in the years to come and continue to help all peoples.
note: here is an interesting blog on the expected boom in tourism.
