Apr 01, 2010
Ida was fabulous! She was the site coordinator for my ceremony venue and offered her DOC services for the entire day at ½ the price because we booked the ceremony site. She was always available whenever I needed her. We met with her 3 weeks before the wedding and hashed out all of the details. I gave her my vendor list and she contacted everyone and provided them with the timeline. I really didn't have to do anything with my vendors after that meeting. She confirmed all deliveries and took care of everything on wedding day. There were a couple of minor issues, but I had no idea about them. She was super calm and never seemed like she was rushing or stressing. She's super professional and very sweet. All of my DIY items were set up just as I asked and packed up at the end of the night. We didn't have to wait around one minute for her. Her assistant, Sherry, was at our reception site and set everything up while Ida was with me at the ceremony. I definitely recommend Ida. *She also speaks Spanish, which was very helpful with the amount of Spanish speaking guests we had.* Actually, I believe she is trilingual :)

Since I can't seem to stop talking up autumn harvest, I figured it's only fair that I dedicate a post to a root vegetable I've been slightly obsessed with lately—beets.
I wish I could say I've loved beets since day one, but it wasn't until adulthood that I came to appreciate these bright, vibrant roots.
Why do I love them now? Beyond the fact that I adore their rich taste and color, beets are incredibly good for you. As I noted in a guest post I contributed to Oiselle's blog last Monday, "Fall Fuel Favorites for Plant-Based Runners," beets are an athlete's best friend. Beets get your blood pumping and energy flowing. Both the roots and the greens are packed full of health-boosting nutrients.
Thankfully Andrew loves beets as much as I do. Over the past few weeks we've been snagging giant beets from the produce stand every chance we get. I even packed some in the car with me Friday and brought them home to Pensacola so I could share the beet love with my family.
One perk of being home is getting to take over my mom's kitchen again. Yesterday, I decided to whip us up my rendition of the beet salad Andrew made for me last week. Fun fact: He actually remade this beet salad yesterday too, back in St. Augustine. Clearly our minds and hearts are synced even when we're geographically apart.

The following article
appears in the September/October 2014 issue of Expansion Solutions magazine.
Can you remember back to the first video game you played?
Was it Tetris? Super Mario Brothers? Angry
Birds? What used to be considered child's play has transitioned into a
regular aspect of nearly everyone's lives, and the demand for newer, faster,
and more realistic games is only growing. Nearly 70%1 of American
households play video games. With close ties to both the creative and
multimedia economies the video game industry is becoming more and more
important. This article summarizes the history and trends of the industry and offers
ideas on how a community can best attract and grow its video game industry.
With the release of Pong
in 1972, game manufacturer Atari spawned the video game industry. Pong was most commonly played in an
arcade on a large upright console and was the first game to gain mainstream
success and popularity. Since then, the video game industry has seen
transformation largely driven by technological innovation. While originally
children were the primary market for video games, as the industry matured, so
has the age of gamers, with an average age today of 31.2
Since the days of Pong
and Tetris, thousands of video games
have been released, and the industry has developed into one of the most
significant contributors to the "creative economy," rivaling the film industry
in total revenue. In fact, research conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers reports
that the international digital games entertainment industry was projected to
reach $86.4 billion in 2014, three times as large as the music industry. In the
United States, the game industry reports sales of approximately $15.1 billion
and is growing much faster than the rest of the economy.3 In 2010,
the U.S. computer and video game software publishing industry employed over
32,000 people with annual growth of over 8%.4
The increasing jobs and sales in the video game industry is
tied to the diversification of the industry as a whole and the fact that video
gaming technology has been incorporated into many different aspects of our
lives. Here are just three examples of how video game technology has influenced
our lives:
Health – A primary concern related to video
gaming is that it is not an active way for children and adults to spend their
time. The video game industry has combated this image by developing games that
are designed to get the user moving and enjoying exercise. Even the President's
Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition has recognized "the need to embrace
technology in the fight against childhood obesity."5
Training – Video game and virtual reality technology
has been incorporated into a wide variety of training including virtual reality
technology that allows pilots, military personnel, police officers, and
surgeons to go through their processes as though it was a real situation. This
type of training provides trainees with a more realistic scenario and gives
them the opportunity to fail in a safe and forgiving environment.
Edutainment – Games are now also designed to act
as educational systems for children. The idea is that games are fun, making for
a perfect platform to teach math and reading.6
Another trend in the video game industry is the recognition
that women are an important, if currently underrepresented, segment of the
gaming community. Historically, games have been male-centric with violent, graphic,
and sometimes sexist material, all characteristics that do not appeal to many
women. However, there has been a shift for some developers to create more
characters that transition away from negative, highly sexualized, and
stereotyping images of women. Nintendo, for one, has banned violent or sexist
material for products played on Wii devices.7 Female game developers
are also starting to break into the industry including the group SieEnt, a team
of game developers that create video games "for women who want to change the
world." The International Game Developers Association also has a special interest
group for women with a mission to "create a positive impact on the game
industry with respect to gender balance in the workplace and the marketplace."
With all this growth and change in the video game industry,
it is only normal for economic developers to begin to consider whether it would
be a good fit for their attraction efforts. The following is a summary of some
of the site selection factors that are important for the video game industry.
Workforce Skills – What is unique about the video
game industry is that it exists at a cross-section of technology and art, and
the workforce must reflect this. The jobs fall into three major categories (1)
creative, (2) technical, and (3) business. The development of a game can
require work from hundreds of employees including those with skills and talent
in programming, software development, application design, graphic design,
sales, management, and usability testing. Companies want to be where there are
deep talent pools of these skills. In addition to the technical skills,
employees of the video game industry must be skilled at working in teams under
the direction of a lead designer. Specific occupations within the industry
include animators, writers, voice actors, musicians, software developers, coders,
and engineers. Most of the occupations in this industry require a college
Higher Education – Access to, coordination with,
and support from academic institutions is also a major factor for the video
game industry. Educational programs specific to the video game industry are
being developed around the country, such as the program at George Mason
University that offers courses on video game history and theory, computer
programing, digital arts and graphics, and motion capture. With educational
programs like this popping up around the country, the video game industry has
begun to shift away from Silicon Valley to take advantage of the talent that is
being trained elsewhere.9
Technology Access – Access to best-in-class
broadband is essential to being able to attract the video game industry, and
that means 1 gigabit (1,000 megabits) -per-second internet speed for all
businesses and residents. Employees of the video game industry want this type
of access in their homes as well as at work, so all digital infrastructure
needs to be redundant, reliable, and fast. St. Louis, MO, is one area that has
1 gig access and has started to become well known for its emerging video game
industry with newer firms developing "quick-to-market" apps for smartphones and
tablets.10 For reference, the US average download rate is 25.6
megabits per second for households and as a country ranks 29th in
the world.11
Incentive Programs – As in many industries,
incentives play a large role in helping to attract, grow, and retain the video
game industry. An interesting case of this is Montreal, which was not an early
leader in the industry, but as a result of a government commitment to support
workforce development, it is now home to one of the largest video game clusters
in the world. The government established Multimedia City where it committed to
paying 25% of employees' wages for companies within the targeted industries.
This incentive, combined with the low-cost/highly-creative aspect of the
culture helped to brand the City as being a center for the multimedia and
gaming industry and attract some of the largest video game companies in the
world including Ubisoft and Electronic Arts.12
Quality of Life & Networks – Having active
local chapters of national and international video game associations can make a
place more appealing to someone looking to establish a new video game company
who is in need of technical support and assistance. An example of this is the
Minneapolis/Saint Paul chapter of the International Game Developer Association,
which holds monthly meetings and helps gamers network within the region.
The video game industry is extremely fast paced, with many
design and technological advances since the early days of Pong. For communities looking to grow or support the video game
industry, the important factors on which to focus are access to broadband and
creating an environment that is attractive and nurturing to creative professionals.

If you google workforce development, you are likely to find
several different definitions.
Wikipedia says that "workforce
development is an American economic development approach that attempts to
enhance a region's economic stability and prosperity by focusing on people
rather than businesses."
Another good definition is from the Federal Reserve
of St. Louis which states that "workforce
development has come to describe a relatively wide range of activities, policies
and programs employed by geographies to create, sustain and retain a viable
workforce that can support current and future business and industry."
My definition for workforce development is both simpler and
more complex. The really simple version is: "Workforce
development is the system that helps put people to work." But
here is where it starts to get a little crazy and complex…that "system" touches
on so many inter-related programs at the local, state, and federal levels. So
workforce development includes (but is not limited to):
communication between business and education providers
matching services
training and connections to educational resources
access to career pathways (articulation agreements, incumbent worker training
programs, ESL training, computer training, volunteering, etc.)
to social services supports (such as childcare, addiction counseling, etc.)
for transportation improvements for improved workforce commuting initiatives
expansion/retention connections for job creation initiatives
to businesses related to employee retention improvements
training and support
credits and other financial incentives for employers to hire
development information
It is no wonder that workforce development seems hard to
wrap our hands and heads around.
So before we talk more about
what workforce development is, let's talk about where it came from, why it
started, and what it was envisioned to be.
Roots in education: The Morrill Acts
Workforce development is inextricably tied to education. As
such, it must be noted that prior to the Civil War, higher education was
largely "perennialist" in its philosophy. That is to say that the overriding
belief about higher education was that it should teach the things that one
deems to be of everlasting pertinence to all people everywhere (the
topics that "develop a person"). Facts are therefore not as important as
principles; the philosophy was much more humanistic and taught
reasoning over mechanics or vocational techniques.
Clearly, this is a philosophical debate that continues
to this day. The solution developed at that time was "land-grant universities," which were established largely under the
Morrill Acts of 1862 and 1890. The Morrill Acts
funded educational institutions by granting federally controlled land to states to sell, raising funds to establish and endow "land-grant" colleges. The
mission of these institutions as set forth in the 1862 Act is to focus on the
teaching of practical skills
in agriculture, science, military science, and engineering,
as a response to the industrial
revolution and changing social
class. This was
the first "federal government interference" in helping to define marketable
skills that should be taught to support business interests.
The industrial revolution
created a need for more worker protection. So, in 1913, the United States
Department of Labor (USDOL) was created in response to pressure from organized
labor. The goals of the newly established U.S. Department of Labor were to: "foster,
promote and develop the welfare of wage-earners, to improve their working
conditions, and to advance their opportunities for profitable employment."
The New Deal and the
With the crash of Wall Street
in 1929, many industrialists lost their fortunes and could no longer employ
the workforce they had once supported. This precipitated the New Deal legislation of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration which created new programs with the goal of relief, recovery, and reform of the United States economy during the Great Depression .
The most well-know of these
programs was called the Works Progress Administration (WPA) (renamed
in 1939 as the Work Projects Administration). The WPA was the largest and
most ambitious American New Deal agency, employing millions of unemployed
people (mostly unskilled men) to carry out public works projects, including
the construction of public buildings and roads. The WPA's initial appropriation
in 1935 was $4.9 billion (about 6.7% of the 1935 GDP). In total, the agency spent $13.4 billion.
On a side note…a lot of people are suggesting that the
government should institute a similar program to deal with the economic crisis
being faced today…and certainly we do have many infrastructure projects that
could be undertaken. But in today's money, 6.7% of the $16.8 trillion GDP would
be $1.12 trillion. The entire USDOL annual budget is only $67 billion and the
entire Department of Defense budget is only $601 billion! The entire American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds were only $831 billion...so you can
see that investing $1.12 trillion in a program of the magnitude that was
invested in the 1930s in today's dollars would be nearly impossible to achieve.
As stated in a 2013 article
from the Economic Policy Institute:
"Guaranteeing a return to full employment by the end of
2015 would require policymakers to fund economic stimulus of roughly an
additional $650 billion in 2013 and somewhere in the range of $1.5 trillion to
$2.2 trillion over the next three years. That these amounts are so far outside
the current bounds of political viability indicates how divorced from economic
reality the fiscal policy-making debate has become."
Between 1935 and 1943, the WPA provided almost 8 million
jobs, and at its peak in 1938, the WPA provided paid jobs for 3 million
unemployed men and women, as well as youth in a separate division, the National
Youth Administration. The goal of the WPA was to provide one paid job for all
families in which the breadwinner suffered long-term unemployment. The
stated goal of public building programs was to end the depression or, at least,
alleviate its worst effects. Millions of people needed subsistence incomes.
Work relief was preferred over public assistance because it maintained self-respect,
reinforced the work ethic, and kept skills sharp.
The WPA program ended on June 30, 1943, as a result of low
unemployment due to the worker shortage of World War II.
The year 1933 was also the
year that the Wagner–Peyser Act was established, creating the first public
labor exchange service, matching workers with jobs, and is still in effect
today, more commonly known as the "employment service" (although many refer to
it as the "unemployment office"). This national employment system offered
federal grants to states to assist in job-matching activities to help workers
find jobs and help employers find workers.
The Manpower
Development and Training Act of 1962
The next incarnation of the
workforce development system came in 1962 and was called the Manpower
Development and Training Act of 1962 (MDTA). This program was intended
to retrain workers dislocated by technological advances (doesn't that sound
familiar?). The MDTA program was not aimed at eliminating poverty, but was rather
about intervening to aid workers as they went through a "structural
unemployment phase." The government assumption was that the old industries
would be replaced by "new industries." Because of this assumption, the emphasis
was on job training and was targeted largely to economically disadvantaged
persons who had been employed in labor intensive positions that were being
replaced by technological advances. The training service providers in the MDTA
program were funded directly by the federal government
Simultaneously, there were
also programs established at this time that were focused on Johnson's War on
Poverty that did include employment and training components in them. For
example, the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 (EOA) established Community Action
Partnership (CAP) agencies, Vista, Job Corps, Head Start, and community
development corporations (CDCs) who
received their funding from the Office of Economic Opportunity, and included
employment and training programs as part of the strategy to rebuild the
community infrastructure and economies of distressed neighborhoods.
The Comprehensive
Employment and Training Act of 1973
The MDTA program was replaced
by the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) in 1973. CETA encouraged
community-based trends and unlike the MDTA program, decentralized control of
federally sponsored job-training programs. CETA funding was a hybrid
block grant program with local units of government administering basic training
components. CETA also for the first time included programs for specific
targeted groups and for public service employment. However, because it was
largely a locally controlled program with little state or federal oversight, there
were many charges of corruption and mismanagement of funds. As the program
became snarled with complicated regulations, it became clear that it would need
to be revised and so was replaced with the Job Training and Partnership Act
(JTPA) of 1983.
The Job Training and
Partnership Act of 1983
JTPA focused on low-income
people, created a new local governance structure called Private Industry
Councils (PICs), and eliminated public sector employment, which had been a core
element of CETA.
Under JTPA, the United States
Department of Labor's Employment & Training Administration (ETA) began
giving states and local areas grants funded by National Employment Service (Wagner–Peyser
funding), to develop and implement "One-Stops" for workforce services.
The Workforce Investment Act
In 1998, this idea of "One
Stop" for the delivery of workforce services became foundational in the
legislation introduced under President Clinton called the Workforce Investment
In the next workforce article
of our "Economic Development Navigator" newsletter, we will take a look at the details of the workforce
investment act (WIA) and how that legislation has shaped today's workforce
system to become more employer-driven and economic development–based.
In last
month's newsletter, we launched a "big-think" theme about the macroeconomic
trends leading to job dislocations and how we, as economic developers, can
think about it and respond (article).
By coincidence, The Economist just
published a special report called "The
Third Great Wave" (October 4, 2014 edition) that covers the same theme
about how automation, more so than outsourcing, has led to job losses in the
U.S. and implications for national economies across the globe. The Economist's predictions matched well
with ours, that job displacements are likely to continue and perhaps accelerate,
referring alarmingly to a recent analysis by Oxford economists that "…47% of
employment in America is at high risk of being automated away over the next
decade or two."
The Economist went on to lay out three potential
responses to this "Labor Imbalance" (which we originally referred to as the
"Labor Allocation Challenge"). We paraphrase these responses below and outline
how the economic development community might react:
Economist Response #1: Raise the
productivity of less-skilled workers
This is not
about magically making low-wage workers into production stars. It focuses more
on matching labor needs in the areas where labor is demanded. The Economist cites the lack of
affordable housing in dense urban areas as a key hindrance to growth—if your
labor force cannot live in proximity to employment centers, they cannot be
engaged in production in a cost-effective manner, therefore raising production
costs. Employers will naturally substitute capital (i.e., machinery and
automation) when labor costs rise. The same argument applies to transportation,
mass transit, and other sorts of infrastructure gaps.
It seems
counterintuitive to state that the government should be making significant
public investments to promote the creation of low-skilled and hence low-wage
jobs! Should we not instead be investing the public's money to turn low-skilled
workers into high-skilled ones? (See response #2). It all depends on what your
goal is: maximize output or maximize employment levels? Remember that many
high-skilled jobs are those that resulted from job-dislocation automation in
the first place! Pushing all of our labor into high-skilled positions would
theoretically increase job
dislocations and potentially increase
the ranks of the unemployed. Is it acceptable for us as a nation to have an
essentially permanent class of (both high- and low-skilled) unemployed people?
What does
this mean for ED Professionals? — Low-wage
jobs will come back in vogue??? It seems preposterous, but an "out-of-the box"
idea for ED professionals might actually be to measure our success in
convincing the reticent public to subsidize and make major investments in
affordable housing, mass transit, and infrastructure, so as to promote industry
growth in low-wage, low-skill jobs! That would be a hard pill for many ED
professionals to swallow, but it is largely the day-to-day reality for some of
our clients in the most densely urban areas of the country. Every person taken
off of public assistance and placed into employment, however lowly paid, is a
significant gain for these heavily urbanized areas. A second and perhaps more
palatable implication is that we perhaps have to stop counting jobs altogether
and instead focus on aggregate income with a steady eye to income
redistribution (see response #3) and equality.
Economist Response #2: Turn
low-skilled workers into high-skilled workers
As expected, The Economist details the need to invest
in education at all levels: pre-K, elementary, secondary, and post-secondary.
As echoed in our own series on the Workforce Paradox,
the focus cannot just be on pushing more students into University but must also
include the skilled trades and other vocational/technical work.
What does
this mean for ED Professionals? —
Guess what? We are now all doing workforce development, not just traditional
economic development. Camoin itself has adapted to this need by expanding our
consulting team and service line to include workforce
experts. So, perhaps ED Professionals have to measure their success by the
extent to which local workforce development programs adequately meet the needs
of current and future employers. Said another way, one measure of success is
our ability to discover employer labor needs early and convince others (i.e.,
WIBs and educational organizations) to take effective and immediate action.
Economist Response #3: Provide
income support for those unable to garner enough for themselves through paid
The Economist is not known for its love of
"market-distorting" government subsidies of any kind, so this one was a real
surprise. Included in the possibilities were: raising the minimum wage (to
encourage investment in workers, offset by increased labor costs causing
further dislocations), subsidizing low-wage work (e.g., the Earned-Income Tax
Credit in the United States), facilitating job-sharing that is financially supported
by governments (a form of subsidy to those voluntarily or non-voluntarily
working less than full time), and what amounts to welfare ("universal basic
income," with its myriad issues and complications).
What does
this mean for ED Professionals? —
This sort of government policy typically happens at the federal and state level
(transfer payments in particular), more so than at the local governmental
level. So, our purview is quite limited here. Or is it? There are indirect
income supports that local governments can participate in. For example,
promotion of affordable housing and moderate-rent market-rate housing (using
land use policy changes) is an indirect way to put more money into low-income
households. Mass transit is almost always subsidized by the host municipality,
again effectively lowering costs for users and thereby providing income
support. One way to think about property tax abatements, a much-maligned ED
policy tool, is lowering costs for businesses that allow them to hire workers
that could not otherwise be afforded in that location. So, the public is giving
up tax revenue as a form of job subsidy which provides income to low-wage
Final Thoughts
We are not
left with much to work with, unfortunately. Focusing on the creation of low-wage
jobs (#1) smacks of desperation and is unlikely to garner much enthusiasm.
Raising the bar educationally (#2) has a feel-good aspect to it and is likely
to work out quite well for those more educated people who actually find
employment, but it also likely to accelerate job dislocation. Subsidization of
the income of low-wage workers (#3) can be an effective policy tool, as
evidenced by the much-acclaimed Earned Income Tax Credit, but it somewhat out
of the hands of local ED officials. Instead, we are left to focus on
investments in infrastructure, transportation, and housing that collectively
act as the enablers of job creation for low- and mid-skill jobs.
Currently rated 5.0 by 1 people
In last month's newsletter, we launched a "big-think" theme
about the macroeconomic trends leading to job dislocations and how we, as
economic developers, can think about it and respond (article).
We have had a number of responses to the key questions of the article (What
does the future hold? What do we do about it?) that we wanted to share here.
But first, a brief re-introduction to the conclusion of the original article.
If the trends noted are correct, one likely outcome would be
that the labor force will simply have to shrink as the aggregate demand for
labor falls below the market-clearing price point where the supply of labor is
effectively used up (i.e., where all those looking for work are absorbed at an
acceptable wage rate). We described a few ways this could happen: (1)
working-aged people choosing to remain outside the formal workforce in informal
work as stay-at-home moms and dads, caretakers for elderly relatives, etc., (2)
involuntary removal via skills-related disability status (an injury combined
with a low level of education rendering a worker essentially unemployable), and
(3) voluntary removal of various types such as early retirement, part-time
self-employed work, and volunteering in lieu of paid work.
We seem to have missed one: the redefinition
of what constitutes full-time work. A new twist on this has
recently made the rounds in the press with Carlos Slim (Mexican
multi-billionaire) prognosticating
that workers of the future will work only three days a week but for a much
longer number of years, providing immediate leisure time but maintaining the
value of experience and skill for a longer period of time. We note that,
already in the present time, a number of countries have policies in place that
effectively limit working hours, the most famous of which is perhaps that of
France's 35-hour work week combined with five weeks of paid leave and retirement
at the tender age of 55 to 60 (recently raised back to 62 for some, Quelle Horreur !).
On a more factual basis, the OECD publishes
data it aggregates from national sources on hours worked per year per worker by
country, along with historical trends. (Note that the data reflect wage and salary workers, not
the self-employed, and are an average of both full- and part-time workers. And
OEDC provides an important caveat: "The data are intended for comparisons of
trends over time; they are unsuitable for comparisons of the level of average
annual hours of work for a given year, because of differences in their sources.")
is the data for the U.S., showing that from 1950 to 2013 average hours worked
dropped from +/- 2,000 to +/- 1,800. But that hides a more interesting pattern,
namely that the hours worked dropped precipitously from 1965 to 1980, leveling
off for twenty years, followed by a more modest decline to the present day.
noted above, each country collects data a bit differently, so if would be
incorrect to directly compare one country to another on the numbers reported.
However, if we normalize the data and just look at trends, we should be fairly
safe to discuss how the trend in each country compares to the trend overall.
The dark grey line shows the OECD average (note that the OECD is a club of
largely rich countries) dropped steadily over the time period for a total
decline of about 12%. On a per-country basis, there is a wide dispersion of
trends, however, with the U.S. dropping about 6% and France dropping 25%. The
surprises: (a) Sweden is neck-to-neck with the U.S., (b) Japan followed the
U.S. pattern until the late 1980s, after which their real estate and stock
market bubble popped and they almost caught up to France, and (c) the U.K. sits
about in the middle of the two extremes despite being considered much aligned
with the U.S. free-market, Anglo-Saxon economic policies.
Given the trend data, above, the very definition of work
itself has been changing for some time. Perhaps the across-the-board decline is
due to an increasing incidence of part-time work or more people accepting
full-time work that requires fewer than 40 hours per week (which seems like a
contradiction but is not) or perhaps it is due to higher levels of
vacation/sick/holiday/other paid leave (such as maternity leave) time, or
perhaps yet another explanation.
In any case, Carlos Slim's assertion seems less far-fetched
in light of the fact that U.S. workers already spend an average of less than 35
hours per week on the job and look to continue this decline into the future.
What's it all mean for ED Professionals? — Perhaps
this trend is the answer to our question about what lies in the future for the
labor force and sheds light on what ED professionals can do to respond. Perhaps
our metrics of success should not be in the number of new jobs, but rather:
Income per hour worked, not annual income
or even official salary (which may not properly account for the value of paid
time off)
Output per hour worked, as opposed to per
job, to measure the strength of a particular business
Number of part-time jobs, as opposed to
full-time-equivalent jobs
Flexibility of job hours, allowing for
informal work, volunteerism, leisure

Manufacturing Communities Data Tool
We keep hearing "manufacturing
isn't dead," but
is it alive and well in your community? To help regions understand their
manufacturing sector, the Census developed a regional data tool along with a
list of other resources that can help answer this question.
Website: http://www.census.gov/fastfacts/imcp/
Geographies: U.S., states, counties
Years Available: Varies based on dataset, 2007 Economic Census
& 2011 Business Patterns
Purpose: Assess manufacturing sector.
supporting data for Investing in Manufacturing Communities Partnership Grants
(IMCP) applications
Identify key
technology and manufacturing sectors in a regional economy
Compare regional
economies and assets with other competing regions (i.e., identify your
competitive edge)
Quick Tips: Okay so this is not the prettiest data tool I've ever
used, but the data is FREE (well, we pay for it via our taxes). The biggest
"tip" I can offer is be patient, and explore all of the tabs—both the
four blue tabs right under the title and the grey ones under the selection
windows. Some of the best data is buried…
Questions this Data
Can Answer:
How many Dairy Product Manufacturing establishments
are in my county?
Show me the money—how much economic activity is
generated by manufacturers in the region?
Are the manufacturing business in the region
small-scale manufacturers or 100+ employee companies?
In continuing with the focus of last
month's indicator on manufacturing, this month we will take a look at
workforce data to find out which manufacturing industries have been hiring in
New York State. Using data from U.S. Census Longitudinal Employer–Household
Dynamics (LEHD) Quarterly
Workforce Indicators (QWI), we can determine which subsectors have hired
the most workers and get a sense of which industries are showing a demand for
labor. We will also explore the education level of these hired workers.
The chart below shows the top 10 manufacturing subsectors
(3-digit NAICS) in New York State with respect to the average number of
quarterly hires between 2012 Q4 and 2013 Q3 (the most recent yearlong period
for which data is available). The data is for workers 25 and older.
We see that food manufacturing was the top-hiring industry.
This industry hired an average of 2,774 employees per quarter during the
timeframe of interest. The second-ranked industry was computer and electronic
product manufacturing, followed by chemical manufacturing.
Digging deeper into the data, we can analyze the education
levels of these recently hired workers to understand the types of jobs that
manufacturing industries have been filling. The next chart shows the top 10
manufacturing subsectors in New York by percent of hires with a bachelor's
degree or higher. Computer and electronic product manufacturing ranked first by
far, with an average of 37% of quarterly hires holding at least a bachelor's
degree. Looking back at the first chart, this subsector ranked second in hires
overall. No other subsector had more than 30% of hires holding such a degree.
Some of the industries appearing on this chart are more
surprising than others. While apparel manufacturing and textile mills, for
instance, might typically be thought of as employing low-skilled workers, this
data reveals that over a quarter of new hires in these subsectors are highly
Why is this important?
In last month's indicator, we made the point that while
manufacturing jobs in the U.S. are in decline overall, manufacturing output is
not. What's more, in certain subsectors and in certain regions, manufacturing
remains a critical employer. The data presented here shows the extent to which
manufacturing firms are hiring—the top ten subsectors alone accounted for a
quarterly average of over 16,000 hires of workers over 25 in New York. And many
of these newly hired workers have advanced degrees.
Click here to download data on the education level of recent
manufacturing job hires in New York State. A quick data note: LEHD data is
available for all states except Massachusetts, so it is not possible to access
nationwide data.
Camoin welcomes Colleen LaRose, Workforce Development
We see it in nearly every community we work in: businesses
are increasing demand for qualified workers and struggling to fill positions
while jobless individuals lack the education and skill necessary to compete for
these positions. In today's world, workforce availability is among the top
issues for business attraction, retention, and expansion. Economic development
needs workforce development as a strategic partner.
Camoin Associates brands itself as a full-service economic
development firm, which means as the field of economic development grows and
transforms to include disciplines such as workforce development, so must we. To
that end, we are excited to announce Colleen LaRose as the newest member of the
Camoin team. Colleen is a workforce
development veteran with more than 20 years of experience in workforce development
public policy. She has significant experience in issues related to improving
literacy, helping people with mental and/or physical disabilities find
employment, assisting youth with career awareness, as well as program and
systems alignment. She is a champion for collaboration and widely recognized as
the nation's leading advocate for the integration of workforce development with
economic development at the local, state, and federal levels. She is also the President
and CEO of the North East Regional Employment and Training Association, (NERETA).
We will be combining Colleen's knowledge, skills, and
experience with Camoin's strengths in data analysis, strategic, planning, and
evaluation. Over the next several months, Colleen will be training our staff on
occupational demand studies, workforce grant writing strategies, skills gap
analysis, wage and salary surveys, and other methods in workforce-analysis. In
addition, we will be working collectively on workforce and economic development
alignment strategies in an effort to bridge the two disciplines.
Welcome Colleen! We are thrilled to have you on our team and excited
to join you in the charge to bridge workforce and economic development. As you
said, "This is big stuff!"
The Camoin team recently completed work on Portland, Maine's
2014–2015 Economic Scorecard (download
here) for the Portland Chamber of Commerce. The City uses the scorecard,
which is updated annually, to track a variety of economic indicators that it
has aligned with its economic development plan. The scorecard compares Portland's
performance to that of the Greater Portland Region, the State of Maine, and the
Camoin Associates
has been working with the Portland Chamber of Commerce since 2010 to develop
and complete annual updates to the Economic Scorecard. The purpose of the
scorecard is to analyze the data in defined categories to help the City
understand how Portland is performing economically, particularly as measured
against other benchmark cities.
The scorecard
presents 28 indicators that measure local and regional economic growth. These
indicators represent a mix of measures that are directly related to economic
outcomes such as employment, income, and earnings, as well as indicators that
are secondarily related to economic outcomes such as education attainment,
affordability, and transportation. The City of Portland and the Portland region
are measured against reference cities and regions to gauge performance.
In addition to the data collection and analysis, Camoin
Associates works with the Chamber to prepare a full report that is highly
visual containing lots of charts to help with comparison.
The scorecard has received quite a bit of press in the
last few weeks. Click here,
and here
for news articles covering the scorecard.
We can't express how proud we are of our Senior VP, Jim
Damicis, for being awarded Member of the Year by the Northeastern Economic
Developers Association (NEDA).
Jim was recognized for his continued commitment to NEDA and the economic
development profession, including serving as an active board member since 2007,
helping revitalize the Association's education programing, and organizing the
2013 annual conference in Portland, Maine. Jim will continue his good work
through 2015 as the organization's incoming president. Congratulations Jim,
this is a well-deserved honor.
