Des Moines metro economy again rated in top tier

The Des Moines metro area’s economy was among the 20 best-performing in the country in the third quarter, despite employment weakness, a national report Wednesday showed.

The Brookings Institute also listed the Madison, Wis., and Omaha metro economies among the strongest for the quarter ending Sept. 30. It marked the third consecutive quarter that all three cities have been listed among the top performers.

The Washington, D.C., research group looks at employment, jobless rates, economic output and housing in the nation’s 100 largest metro areas each quarter.
