2Covered 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 state

and 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).

3Average wages in 2007 dollars term were 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 goodsand services purchased for consumption by urban households. This index value has been calculated every year since 1913. For the current year, the latestmonthly index value is used (www.bls.gov).

Key Industries

Lincoln 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 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 20064; agrowth rate above 5% is 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 seeAppendix B).

The industry satisfying all three of the above stated criteria is Gasoline Stations (except those with convenience stores)(NAICS 447190). This sector has grown by 8.74% over the last three years, and the wages are around 10% more thanthe national average. The location quotient for the sector is 17.67(Table 11).

4There 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.

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 thatparticular industry at the national level.

Industry Mix Share = Employment in base year *(Industrys National Growth rate National employmentgrowth rate)

Local ShareThis is the share of growth (decline) in employment in a region that can be attributed to the competitiveness of aregion.

Local Share = Employment in base year *(Regions industry growth rate National Industry growth rate)
