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). 2

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. The CPI inflation calculator uses the average Consumer Price Index for a given calendar year. This data represents changes in prices of all goods and services purchased for consumption by urban households. This index value has been calculated every year since 1913. For the current year, the latest monthly index value is used (www.bls.gov).

NORTH CENTRAL REGION

Key Industries North Central Region 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, especially 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 employment were calculated over a three year time period from 2003 to 20063; 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. Three industries in North Central Kansas satisfy all three of the above stated criteria – Motor Vehicle Towing (NAICS 488410), Fertilizer (Mixing Only) Manufacturing (NIACS 325314) and Motor Vehicle Body Manufacturing (NAICS 336211).

There were two reasons for selecting a 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.

23

NORTH CENTRAL REGION Growth Rate The industries with high growth rates are both local and traded4 industries in the North Central Region. The highest growth rate is for the Advertising Agencies (85.02%) and Business Support Services (81.71%). Table 12: Top 10 Industries (6-digit NAICS) with Highest Growth Rates NAICS

Traded industries are defined as the ones exporting their goods and/or services outside their region. Local industries are the ones with all local (within the region) dealings (Porter 2003).

NORTH CENTRAL REGION Location Quotient The sector Residential Electric Lighting Fixture Manufacturing (NAICS 335121) has the highest LQ in the North Central Region of 62.38. This sector is part of the Electrical Equipment, Appliance and Component Manufacturing cluster. The sector with the second highest LQ in the region, Storage Battery Manufacturing (NAICS 335911), is also part of the same cluster. There are four other industries with LQ in the top ten that are part of the Agribusiness, Food Processing and Technology cluster. The sectors are: Frozen Specialty Food Manufacturing (NAICS 311412), Dog and Cat Food Manufacturing (NAICS 311111), Confectionery Manufacturing from Purchased Chocolate (NAICS 311330) and Grain and Field Bean Merchant Wholesalers (NAICS 424510). This is a good indicator of higher LQ for the Electrical Equipment, Appliance and Component Manufacturing cluster and the Agribusiness, Food Processing and Technology cluster in the North Central Region.

NORTH CENTRAL REGION Wages Compared to National Average Wages The county’s Third Party Administration of Insurance and Pension Funds sector (NAICS-524292) has average wages around 88% more than the national averages. This may be because of two reasons – 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. The sector has a LQ of and growth rate of (Table 15). Table 14: Top 10 Industries (6-digit NAICS) with Wages Above National Averages NAICS

NORTH CENTRAL REGION

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 base6. 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) Offices of Physicians have the highest local share of growth in the region. This sector had a net growth of 931 jobs, out of which 867 jobs were attributed to local factors. Nursing Care Facilities is another sector with a high local share of employment growth. This sector had net growth of 866 jobs, out of which 854 were attributed to local factors. Moreover, the industry mix share in this sector had a negative growth effect (-102 jobs). Since the local share has a high growth rate, it means there was a national decline in employment in the nursing sector, and the region had certain competitiveness factors that attributed to a high positive growth in the sector.

Clusters in the North Central Region Traded Clusters The table below (Table16) shows various clusters in the region. Five clusters in North Central Kansas have location quotients higher than 1.25. They are Agribusiness, Food Processing and Technology Electrical Equipment, Appliance and Component Manufacturing Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing Glass and Ceramics Machinery Manufacturing Agribusiness, Food Processing and Technology cluster has LQ of 3.99 in the region. However, the cluster has shown a decline of 1.16% in the last three years, and the average wages are 9.73% less than the national average wages for the cluster. The Electrical Equipment, Appliance and Component Manufacturing cluster has LQ of 4.91. It has declined by 3.13% and has wages 8.59% less than the cluster national wages. Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing has LQ of 1.54, and along with that it has a high growth rate of 14.38%. Average wages, though, are about 26% less than cluster averages at the national level. Glass and Ceramics had LQ of 1.25, a growth rate of 12.68% and wages less than average. Similarly, the Machinery Manufacturing cluster has LQ of 2.5, growth of 7.62%, but very low wages that are about 43% less than cluster national average wages. Investments into these sectors should be considered to make them more competitive and attract labor.
