Ronald A. Wirtz Regional Outreach Director

Our Regional Outreach team gathers survey data from firms throughout the Ninth District to better track the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on businesses and the broader economy. The most recent survey, closed in late July, received more than 1,100 responses from a wide range of businesses. Ron Wirtz, Regional Outreach director, hosted a live webinar to discuss the latest survey results, and he shared where and whom the pandemic is hitting the hardest.
