The COVID-19 pandemic may be Orange County’s “greatest economic challenge,” but the county is well-positioned to rebound, according to the 2020–2021 Orange County Community Indicators report released by the Orange County Business Council on Sept. 22.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has upended nearly every aspect of public and private life, ravaging lives and livelihoods, causing economic devastation,” stated the report, which has been released annually for the past 20 years to track the California county’s long-term health and prosperity.
