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 stateunemployment 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

Jewell County is home to some very 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 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 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 a three year time period from 2003 to 2006 4;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 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.

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)NAICS definitions changed in 2002, so it was very difficult to bridge between 2002 & 1997 codes for some industries.

Industries with Wages Higher than National Average

The countys hotels and motels (NAICS 721110) have average wages around 46% higher than the national averages.This may be because of two reasons this sector is a well performing industry with higher profits and they pay higherwages, or there is shortage of labor so to retain employees they have to pay higher wages. The other sectors with highwages are Residential Remodelers, Crop Harvesting and Household Appliance Stores.
