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 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).
2Average 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
North Central Region is home to some very well performing industries. These industries may be a part of existing oremerging clusters. 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 employment were calculated over a three year time period from 2003 to 20063;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.
Three industries in North Central Kansas satisfy all three of the above stated criteria Motor Vehicle Towing (NAICS488410), Fertilizer (Mixing Only) Manufacturing (NIACS 325314) and Motor Vehicle Body Manufacturing (NAICS 336211).

3There were two reasons for selecting a 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.

dealings (Porter 2003).

Location Quotient
The sector Residential Electric Lighting Fixture Manufacturing (NAICS 335121) has the highest LQ in the North CentralRegion of 62.38. This sector is part of the Electrical Equipment, Appliance and Component Manufacturing cluster. Thesector with the second highest LQ in the region, Storage Battery Manufacturing (NAICS 335911), is also part of the samecluster. There are four other industries with LQ in the top ten that are part of the Agribusiness, Food Processing andTechnology cluster. The sectors are: Frozen Specialty Food Manufacturing (NAICS 311412), Dog and Cat FoodManufacturing (NAICS 311111), Confectionery Manufacturing from Purchased Chocolate (NAICS 311330) and Grain andField Bean Merchant Wholesalers (NAICS 424510). This is a good indicator of higher LQ for the Electrical Equipment,Appliance and Component Manufacturing cluster and the Agribusiness, Food Processing and Technology cluster in the
North Central Region.

Wages Compared to National Average Wages
The countys Third Party Administration of Insurance and Pension Funds sector (NAICS-524292) has average wagesaround 88% more than the national averages. This may be because of two reasons this sector is a well performingindustry with higher profits and they pay higher wages, or there is shortage of labor so to retain employees they have topay higher wages. The sector has a LQ of and growth rate of (Table 15).

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 base6.
National Growth ShareThis is the share of growth (decline) in local employment that can be attributed to growth (decline) in employmentat the 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 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)
Offices of Physicians have the highest local share of growth in the region. This sector had a net growth of 931 jobs, out ofwhich 867 jobs were attributed to local factors. Nursing Care Facilities is another sector with a high local share ofemployment growth. This sector had net growth of 866 jobs, out of which 854 were attributed to local factors. Moreover,
the industry mix share in this sector had a negative growth effect (-102 jobs). Since the local share has a high growth rate,it means there was a national decline in employment in the nursing sector, and the region had certain competitivenessfactors that attributed to a high positive growth in the sector.
