Demand-Side SituationState of Wisconsin

• Growth in the number of jobs — but at lower than national rate

• Increasing demand is being driven by increase in people turning retirement age

• Retired population are leading consumers — they are generally wealthier than people think

Supply Side of the Labor MarketState of Wisconsin

• Decrease in numbers of younger entry level workers – tied to decrease in births

• Increasing retirement of “baby boomers”• Nearly full labor force participation rate for

females• Commuting net loss (90,000 out; 20,000 in)• Loss in college graduates to neighboring states• Low in-migration, especially foreign born

immigrants (4.5% vs. 12.5% nationally)

accounting)3. Expand purchases by nonlocal people (e.g. tourists, neighboring

citizens) through appropriate advertising and promotions.4. Ensure that key public services (e.g. fire and police, water and sewer,

general administration) are more than satisfactory.5. Recognize the important role of transfers, such as retirement benefits,

and unemployment compensation as a flow of funds into the community.

Increasing the Recirculation of Dollars into the Community

1. Identify market potential of retail outlets through surveys of consumer needs and buying habits.

2. Improve share of actual market captured through downtown analysis and renewal through

i. using consumer and merchant surveys.ii. providing convenient parking or public transit.iii. reviewing store hours and merchandising.

3. Aid businesses in developing employee training programs to improve quality of service.

4. Encourage local citizens and businesses to buy locally by providing information programs.

5. Encourage collective action through the formation of organizations such as Chamber of Commerce or Merchants Association.

Increasing the Amount of Resources Available

1. Organizing community capital resources to assist new business formation or to assist in attracting new business.

i. Encourage investment of private funds locally through formation of capital groups.

ii. Encourage the use of secondary capital markets and public financing programs.

iii. Encourage the use of industrial revenue bonding, bank loans.

2. Organizing training programs for youth, immigrants, and resident population.

3. Encouraging population in-migration.4. Providing the same services to start-up businesses as

2. Encouraging business growth through identification of equity and loan capital sources.

3. Developing training programs for workers using new and different techniques.

4. Increasing knowledge of new technology through educational programs in science and engineering.

6. Developing community and regional facilities that improve local business efficiency and access to nonlocal markets (e.g. transportation, services, communication)

Changing the Rules

1. Ensuring correct use of public assistance programs for the elderly, handicapped, and others who cannot work.

2. Supporting political activities to ensure fair treatment of community concerns by broader governmental units.

3. Reviewing how retirees and handicapped people might find services, access, housing, volunteer organizations, and community attitudes.

4. Minimizing contradictory regulations and regulatory barriers, including uncertainty.

Acting Smarter

1. Identify market potential for new retail, wholesale, and input-providing businesses.

2. Organize to provide individual counsel and intensive education for those interested in forming a new business.

entrepreneurial thinking and action.

Getting Lucky

1. Examine old high school yearbooks for previous graduates who might like to return to the community.

2. Promote locally available natural resources and amenities to outside visitors.

3. Design vacant residential sites for development.

Trade Area Analysis

• Sales retention – looking at ability to capture local expenditures

• Local potential sales – adjusts for local incomes• Trade area capture – customer equivalents• Pull factor – estimates “drawing power” from

outside county, compares trade area capture to local population– Greater than one selling to people outside of

county– Less that one county residents purchasing outside

of county
