Covered Employment & Wages (CEW) also known as ES202 data are the product of a federal-state cooperative program, the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) program, also known as the ES-202 program. The data are derived from summaries of employment and total pay of workers covered by state and federal unemployment insurance (UI) legislation and provided by State Workforce Agencies (SWAs). The summaries are a result of the administration of state unemployment insurance programs that require most employers to pay quarterly taxes based on the employment and wages of workers covered by UI. (www.bls.gov). 3

Average wages in 2007 dollars term calculated using CPI inflation calculator available at Bureau of Labor Statistics website http://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl.

MITCHELL COUNTY

Key Industries Mitchell County is home to some very well performing industries. These industries may be a part of existing or emerging clusters. For identifying key industries and clusters, three criteria were used: 1. Location Quotient – Location quotients (LQ) for industries at 6-digit NAICS level were calculated with US industry employment as a base. The cutoff for LQ was taken as 1.25 (based on previous studies, Cortright 2003) 2. Average Wages – Average wages at 6-digit NAICS codes were compared to US average wages. If any industry has average wages 10% above the US average, it is considered to be a good performing industry. 3. Growth Rate – Growth rates for the employment were calculated over a three year time period from 2003 to 20064; growth rates above 5% are considered to be an indicator of good industry performance. Any industry that satisfies one of these three conditions is either a good performing industry or an industry with good potential for growth. There may or may not be a cluster existing in a region for every good performing industry, but if there are good performing industries, a cluster may emerge in the near future. The only industry satisfying all three above stated criteria is the Child Day Care service (NAICS 624410). This sector has grown by approximately 53% over the last three years, and the wages are 13% more than the national average. The location quotient for the sector is 2.86 (Table 11).

There were two reasons for selecting 2003 base year. 1) The numbers were more likely to be free from 9/11 impacts as compared to 2001 or 2002 numbers. 2) NAICS definitions changed in 2002, so it was very difficult to bridge between 2002 & 1997 codes for some industries.

MITCHELL COUNTY Industries with Wages Higher than National Averages The county’s local Drinking Places (NAICS 722410) have average wages around double the national averages. This may be because this sector is a well performing industry with higher profits and they pay higher wages, or there is shortage of labor so to retain employees they have to pay higher wages. It could also be that these are family owned businesses. The sector has a LQ of 0.99 and growth rate of -29.53%.

Shift Share Analysis Shift share analysis breaks down changes in employment (growth or decline) over a period of time into three components: National Growth Share, Industry Mix Share and Local Share. This analysis is used to account for the competitiveness of a region’s industries and to analyze the local economic base7. National Growth Share This is the share of growth (decline) in local employment that can be attributed to growth (decline) in employment at the national level. National Growth Share = Employment in base year * National employment growth rate Industry Mix Share This is the growth (decline) in employment in the region that can be attributed to the growth (decline) in that particular industry at the national level. Industry Mix Share = Employment in base year *(Industry’s National Growth rate – National employment growth rate) Local Share This is the share of growth (decline) in employment in a region that can be attributed to the competitiveness of a region. Local Share = Employment in base year *(Region’s industry growth rate – National Industry growth rate)

The industry with the highest local share in growth is the Nursing Care Facilities. The employment in the sector increased by 144 and all of the 144 jobs were due to local growth (Table 15). The second highest growth in employment was in Elementary and Secondary Schools. In this sector there was a net growth of 60 jobs, all of which were attributable to local growth in the region.
