Introduction

Purpose and Goals

This report was assembled to help supplement the planning activities of Alamo Community College District. The goal is to provide solid and timely data about the manufacturing sector to augment their first hand knowledge and in doing so, equip the college to allocate resources more effectively and drive regional collaboration around needed skills training for manufacturing.

Because of the amount of economic turmoil in the past few months, the past three years of historical data were chosen for the first part of this report about the Manufacturing sector. The point was to provide perspective on what has actually happened in the region and highlight how those changes might affect the work of the college.

The second portion of the report considers the Manufacturing workforce and looks forward 3 years to provide some perspective on the employment outlook for occupations within the field. With the amount of change that has occurred, these projections should be taken with a grain of salt and vetted both by applying the reader’s local knowledge and by conversations with with local stakeholders.

Background

This report integrates data from multiple perspectives to assess regional wages, growth, and industry employment patterns.

The report is driven by a proprietary database created by Economic Modeling Specialists, Inc. that is based on data from over 90 government sources (including the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, Bureau of Economic Analysis, Bureau of the Census, and individual state agencies). The goal is to produce a simple and concrete source of regional economic information.

Note: Based on the fact that we are including so many data sources EMSI's data will usually differ from what is published by any single government agency. For more information, see the final page of this report.

Terms and DefinitionsUnderstanding the following terms is crucial to interpreting the data included in this report.

Jobs: Annual average full-time and part-time positions (not unduplicated head-count of workers) for nearly all types of workers (payroll employees, proprietors, railroad workers, military personnel, and more) in both the public and private sector.

Industry: A category of business activity defined by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

Occupation: A category of workers defined by the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC).

Wage: Occupational wages are reported as median hourly wage only.

Projections/Forecasts: Estimates of future job numbers based on (1) recent historical regional trends and (2) published forecasts created by a consensus of state and federal agencies.

State: For region/state comparisons, regions that include portions of multiple states are compared to the aggregate data for all states. Regions that include an entire state are compared to the nation only.

Current Economic BaseEconomic base analysis models the regional economy to show which groups of industries bring money into the region rather than simply circulating dollars that are already present. The first type of industries is called “basic” while the second type is called “non-basic.” Examples of common basic industries include manufacturing, agriculture and natural resources, and state or federal government enterprises. Basic industries are important because growth or decline in them results in large ripple effects across the economy.

Basic industries generally export products and services to non-regional purchasers. (There are also other ways that a region can bring in money: for example, the income of out-commuters in a bedroom community, or residents’ Social Security benefits from the federal government.) The model calculates how much of each industry’s jobs and earnings rely on its exports, then uses multiplier effects to attribute jobs and earnings from other industries to the original “basic” industry. So Manufacturing might account for only 1,000 direct jobs and $50m direct earnings in a region, but as a basic industry it might support an additional 500 indirect jobs and $20m in indirect earnings throughout the economy.

Note that economic base sector names and definitions are different from those used elsewhere in this report.

Manufacturing--Jobs Multiplier

Manufacturing Overview | San Antonio MSA 2006-2008

EMSI 5

“Jobs”: Total direct and indirect jobs dependent on each sector as a basic industry. “Earnings”: Total direct and indirect earnings dependent on each sector as a basic industry, in thousands of dollars. “EPW”: Annual average earnings per worker for all jobs and earnings dependent on each sector, in thousands of dollars. “Residentsʼ Outside Income”: Includes investment dividends, interest, royalties, rents, transfer payments, and other forms of income gained from outside the region itself.

In the SA-MSA the Manufacturing sector directly employs 51,208 workers. That employment ripples out through the economy to produce another 7,322 jobs. In effect, the Manufacturing sector is responsible for supporting 58,530 jobs in the SA-MSA or five percent of all employment.

A common way of communicating that relationship is through the “multiplier.” In this case, the Manufacturing jobs multiplier is 1.14. For every 1 job in Manufacturing another .14 jobs is created (or destroyed) in the SA-MSA.

Manufacturing Occupation ClusterThe previous table considered Production Occupations, which are in heavy decline within the SA-MSA. The following tables take a wider view of the potential occupations employed in Manufacturing. These range across a variety of activity types and education/training requirements. The tables display workers from several occupational areas including: Architecture and Engineering; Management; Installation, Maintenance, and Repair; and Transportation and Material Moving. The goal is to indicate areas where the NAM Skill Certification System might be applicable.

Occupations are grouped by education requirements. The top occupations within each education level, that show demand (2006-2011 Annual Openings), are displayed.

Data Sources and Methodology

Occupation DataEMSI’s occupation data are based on EMSI’s industry data and regional occupational statistics and staffing patterns taken from the Occupational Employment Statistics program (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics). Additional wage information is derived from the American Community Survey, and wages are adjusted and interpolated at the county and ZIP code level using EMSI earnings data from relevant industries.

Industry DataIn order to capture a comprehensive picture of regional industry employment (EMSI Complete Employment), EMSI basically combines unsuppressed covered employment data from Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) produced by the Department of Labor with total employment data in the Regional Economic Information System published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, augmented with County Business Patterns and Nonemployer Statistics published by the U.S. Census Bureau. Projections are based on the latest available EMSI industry data combined with past trends in each industry and the industry growth rates in national projections (Bureau of Labor Statistics) and state-level projections (individual state agencies). Unemployment data are based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Local Area Unemployment Statistics program.

EMSI also provides a more limited industry and occupation data set, EMSI Covered Employment, which is an unsuppressed version of QCEW.
