WASHINGTON COUNTY

Industry Analysis Industry Totals for Washington County Industry employment increased by 8.61% from 1990 to 2007 in Washington County. Average pay (after adjusting for inflation) has increased by 14.99%, and the number of establishments in the same period increased by 3.82%. This is a good indicator of growing industry in the county as population in the county has been declining every decade since 1990 (Figure 1).

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. 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.

WASHINGTON COUNTY

Key Industries Washington 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 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 the employment were calculated over three year time period from 2003 to 20064, growth rate above 5% was 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. (For further details of methodology, please see Appendix B). The industry satisfying all three of the above stated criteria is the Crop production industry (NAICS 111). This sector has grown by approximately 38% over the last three years, and the wages are 37.82% more than the national average. The location quotient for the sector is 5.42(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.

WASHINGTON COUNTY Industries with highest Growth Rates Most of the industries with high growth rates are local instead of traded5 industries in Washington County. The highest growth rate is for the Nursing care facilities (312.13%) and commercial and industrial machinery & equipment repair and maintenance (135.13%).

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).

WASHINGTON COUNTY Industries with highest Location Quotient Soybean processing sector (NAICS 311222) has the highest LQ in Washington County (LQ is 219.84). Out of the top ten sectors with high LQ, three are a part of Agribusiness, food processing and technology cluster and two are a part of the machinery manufacturing cluster. The sectors with high LQ that belong to the Agribusiness, food processing and technology cluster are the soybean processing (NAICS 311222), Livestock wholesale (NAICS 424520) and Grain and field bean wholesale (NAICS 424510). The sectors with high LQ that are a part of the Machinery manufacturing cluster are the Farm machinery and equipment manufacturing (NAICS 333111) and the Photographic and photocopying equipment manufacturing (NAICS 33315). This is a good indicator that these two clusters may be emerging or exist in Washington County. Table 13: Top 10 Industries (6-digit NAICS) with highest Location Quotients Establishments

Industries with highest Wages as Compared to National Averages The county’s Home centers (NAICS 444110) have average wages around 51% above 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 other sector with wages above national average is the Crop production (NAICS 111). Table 14: Top 10 Industries (6-digit NAICS) with Wages above national averages NAICS

WASHINGTON COUNTY 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 The share of growth (decline) in local employment that can be attributed to growth (decline) in employment at 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 69 and all of the jobs were due to local growth (Table 15). The second highest growth in employment was in the pipeline transportation of natural gas. In this industry there was a net growth of 39 jobs, all of which were attributable to local growth in the region.
