2 Covered Employment & Wages (CEW) also known as ES202 data are the product of a federal-state cooperative program, the Quarterly Census of Employmentand 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 stateand 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 servicespurchased for consumption by urban households. This index value has been calculated every year since 1913. For the current year, the latest monthly index valueis used (www.bls.gov).

Key Industries
Republic County is home to some well performing industries. These industries may be a part of existing or emergingclusters. 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 industryemployment 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 industryhas 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 2006 4,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 goodpotential for growth. There may or may not be a cluster existing in a region for every good performing industry, but if thereare good performing industries, a cluster may emerge in the near future. (For further details of methodology, please see
Appendix B).
4 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) NAICSdefinitions changed in 2002, so it was very difficult to bridge between 2002 & 1997 codes for some industries.

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 aregions industries and to analyze the local economic base 7.
National growth shareThe 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 shareThis 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 *(Industrys National Growth rate National employment growth
rate)
Local shareThis 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 *(Regions industry growth rate National Industry growth rate)
The industry with the highest local share in growth is the surgical appliance and supplies manufacturing. The employmentin the sector increased by 36 and all of the jobs were due to local growth (Table 14). The second highest growth in
employment was in the Limited-Service Restaurants. In this industry there was a net growth of 38 jobs, out of which 36were attributable to local growth in the region.
