INTRODUCTION: Regional Economies, Industry Sectors and Clusters Any industry exists within a web of relationships that relates to its supply and distribution chain. The companies in these industries use inputs such as raw materials, energy, and labor to provide goods and services which ultimately are delivered to their consumers. These supply and distribution networks operate without respect to geographies and jurisdictions. Individual industries become a part of industry clusters when multiple companies from related industries gather in the same or adjacent areas or regional economies where they can take advantage of common elements, such as labor, which is especially critical for our purposes. WIOA underscores the idea that economic and workforce development planning and programming is most effectively done on a regional basis. Every regional economy consists of a mix of industries that play a greater or lesser role in the overall number of jobs that exist and in the overall value of goods and services produced. Economists speak of jobs as employment and the value of goods and services as output. Statistics related to employment and output allow researchers to compare growth in an economy over time (past or future) as well as to compare our economy to other regions around the country. When we add the workforce development component to an industry cluster in a regional economy, our strategy development requires us to identify those industry clusters, occupations, and career pathways that are most crucial to growing the regional economy, and that will therefore provide the optimum mix of employment opportunities. To make valid comparisons, researchers need definitions that are consistent. This study uses 22 industry clusters that were previously defined and used extensively around the country in helping workforce, economic development, and educational entities identify priority industry clusters. These industry clusters include:

Agriculture Production Construction Metals and Metal Fabricating

Food Processing Chemicals, Rubber, and Plastics

Lumber and Wood Products

Communications and IT Manufacturing

Communications and IT Services

Textiles

Biotechnology Transportation and Logistics

Wholesale Trade

Business Services Financial Services Health Care

Real Estate and Building Services

Government Retail

Hospitality Energy and Utilities Personal Services

Education


3


Our work around the country reveals that these definitions account for 95-100% of all companies in a local economy. They follow the work of Michael Porter, which suggests that an industry cluster consists of a core industry as well as its supply and distribution chains. This is different from the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS), which is essentially a listing of industries, and is more functional for our purposes. Using this way of conceiving clusters, a cluster like Construction would not only include the companies that build homes, commercial and industrial properties, and highways and bridges, but also the companies that supply the stone for driveways, the lumber and drywall for walls, the trusses for roofs, and all of the other materials needed to build a house, as well as the realtors that sell the houses.

DETERMINING PRIORITY CLUSTERS Once we have the clusters defined, prioritizing the clusters that are the best bets for economic and workforce development investments is the next task. Our conceptual approach is primarily a demand-driven, industry-based approach. It is one that is used primarily in economic development circles. However, it offers benefits for workforce development because: (a) it bundles industries where occupations are likely to require skills that are transferable; (b) it still allows us to hone in on specific occupations that may be growing or changing/improving in nature; and (c) it makes it more likely that economic development officials will see the ultimate target industries through the same lens as workforce developers, thereby enhancing alignment. Implications for career pathways and training curriculum grow out of this analysis where the voice of the industry is loud and clear. Local competitive advantage (location quotient, or LQ) seeks to identify those industries where the local area has certain advantages and as a result does things better than the competition around the country. Competitive advantage may result from access to raw materials, access to markets, an effective transportation system, knowledge generated in local research institutions, knowledge that is imbedded in the skills of the local workforce, or just the presence of an entrepreneur who has located in the local region. LQ alerts us to the presence of a competitive advantage but does not tell us exactly what that advantage is. For us, competitive advantage (as measured by the location quotient statistic) is the primary metric for determining priority industries, followed by job growth projections and absolute size of employment in the industry. Location quotient measures the concentration of employment in the industry locally relative to the concentration of employment in the industry nationally. The assumption is that an industry with a concentration above the national average (above the number “1” in our report tables) has some sort of local competitive advantage that we need to recognize and act upon. For example, in the listing below of top industry clusters and drivers in this


4


region, Chemicals, Rubber, and Plastics, has an LQ of 2.23, which means that the region has 2.23 times the national average of employment concentration in that industry. The following documents are the source of the data for this analysis (The Appendix contains all the data runs referred to in this discussion. The cover page to the Appendix explains the report structure and the general content of each report.)

Cluster Summary Report (Report #1 in the Appendix), which includes charts with the 22 clusters ranked by size and average wage, growth, shift share, and location quotient as well as a bubble chart that plots most of this information on a one-page graphic;

Highest Ranked Industry Report (Report #2 in the Appendix), which ranks the top 50 5-digit NAICS industries (industry drivers) by size and average wage, growth, shift share, and location quotient;

A document called Summary of Clusters and Drivers by Region (Report #3 in the Appendix), which aligns the driver industries under each cluster title; and

Occupational Report (Report #4 in the Appendix), which includes a chart with projected occupational openings, another chart with the Top 100 openings, and a chart that organizes the Top 100 occupations into prospective Career Pathways for occupations that are in multiple industries.


5


The above bubble chart for this region (also Report #1E in the Appendix) summarizes the Cluster Summary Report and location quotient, projected percentage change in employment, and size of employment in each of the 22 pre-determined industry clusters. Priority clusters can appear in any one of the first three quadrants. Bubbles representing the 22 clusters are shown on the graphic on the following page with four quadrants where:

The upper right quadrant indicates high LQ and high projected growth; The upper left shows industries with high projected growth but less than average

LQ; The lower left indicates, negative projected growth and less than average LQ. The lower right depicts industries with high LQ but negative growth projections.

This may be the case with so-called “legacy industries”, which project as being in decline but may be large industries in terms of jobs, and may present a significant competitive advantage for the region. In South Carolina, textiles would fall into the “legacy” category.

We do the Highest Ranked Industry Report (Report #2 in the Appendix) to ensure that we recognize industry drivers (five digit NAICS code industries) that have high location quotients and rapid growth but that may show a lesser impact when they are consolidated into a cluster. Drivers point to highly competitive and rapidly growing industries that may be the essence of local competitive advantage. Matching drivers to clusters in the Summary of Clusters and Drivers by Region (See Report #3 in the Appendix) allows us to see other drivers that we may have missed in our cluster analysis.

Industry Analysis

As mentioned above, for us, competitive advantage (as measured by the location quotient statistic) is the primary metric for determining priority industries, followed by job growth projections and absolute size of employment in the industry (See Reports #1D, #1B, and #1A in the Appendix). Ranked only by projected location quotient in 2025 (number in parentheses is location quotient), the top industry clusters and drivers included (additional information can be seen in Report #3):

Lumber and Wood Products (2.55) o Other Paperboard Container Manufacturing (22.99) o Wood Preservation (25.27) o Paperboard Mills (19.16) o Timber Tract Operations (8.42) o Stationary Product Manufacturing (9.11) o Logging (7.85) o Hardwood Veneer and Plywood Manufacturing (7.19)

Textiles (2.52) o Artificial and Synthetic Fibers Manufacturing (47.65) o Textile and Fabric Finishing Mills (4.10) o Broadwoven Fabric Mills (7.77) o Fiber, Yarn, and Thread Mills (11.36) o Narrow Fabric Mills and Schiffli Machine Embroidery (17.71) o Cotton Ginning (11.15) o Nonwoven Fabric Mills (6.32) o All Other Miscellaneous Textile Product Mills (2.99)

Hospitality (1.47) o RV Parks and Campgrounds (11.12) o Scenic and Sightseeing Transportation (8.12) o All Other Transportation Arrangement and Reservation Services (6.13) o Amusement Arcades (5.18) o Recreational Goods Rental (4.88) o Cafeterias, Grill Buffets, and Buffets (5.13) o Golf Courses and Country Clubs (3.49) o Theater Companies and Dinner Theaters (3.81)

Retail (1.41) Chemicals, Rubber, and Plastics (1.23)

o Surface Active Agent Manufacturing (33.66) o Laminated Plastics Plate, Sheet Manufacturing (3.04) o All Other Basic Organic Chemical Manufacturing (3.91)

Metal and Metal Fabricating (1.19) o Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing (36.96)


7


o Other Metal Valve and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing (30.86) o All Other Transportation Equipment Manufacturing (6.54) o Other Major Household Appliance Manufacturing (10.20) o Welding and Soldering Equipment Manufacturing (8.68) o Switchgear and Switchboard Apparatus Manufacturing (7.97) o Custom Roll Forming (14.45) o Heating Equipment Manufacturing (5.41) o Metal Can Manufacturing (7.40) o Automatic Environmental Control Manufacturing (14.08) o Boat Building (9.12) o Industrial Process Furnace and Oven Manufacturing (8.19) o Other Fabricated Wire Product Manufacturing (5.60) o Household Refrigerator and Home Freezer Manufacturing (1.82)

There are several sectors, which have a concentration of employment that is only slightly higher or slightly lower than the national average. However, they are larger sectors that are expected to generate good growth numbers over the period being examined. They need to be considered among the priority industries. They are listed below along with location quotient for the cluster and the expected job growth for the cluster and drivers for the decade ahead.

Real Estate and Building Services (1.07, 2,257) o Residential Property Managers (357) o Landscaping Services (292) o Lessors of Residential Buildings and Dwellings (270)

Health Care (1.02, 12,364) o Hospitals (Local Government) (5.72, 356) o Offices of Physicians (2,138) o General Medical and Surgical Hospitals (1,675) o Home Health Care Services (1,378) o Nursing Care Facilities (719) o Continuing Care Retirement Centers (674) o Services for the Elderly and Persons with Disabilities (603) o Kidney Dialysis Centers (482) o Offices of Dentists (435) o Pharmacies and Drug Stores (391) o Hospitals (Local Government) (987) o Vocational Rehabilitation Services (294)

Education (.95, 3,313) o Elementary and Secondary Schools (2,126) o Colleges and Universities (516)

Most of the sectors with the highest levels of employment have been accounted for above. However, there is one other sector which is a larger employer but that tends to have a high number of part-time workers in jobs that pay lower than the average in the area. It is


8


below the national average in location quotient. For those reasons, we have excluded it from our recommendations.

Personal Services When one includes job growth projections, the industry clusters that rise to the top (and the reason for including them) are:

Lumber and Wood Products (LQ) Textiles (LQ) Hospitality (LQ) Retail (LQ) Chemicals, Rubber and Plastics (LQ) Metal and Metal Manufacturing (LQ) Real Estate and Building Services (LQ) Health Care (LQ and Growth) Education (Growth)

One of our key planning tasks involves prioritizing the clusters that will be the focus of our investment of time, funding, and programming in the near future. For that reason, we are interested in finding 4-5 clusters that will be our priorities going forward and identifying one that we will fully develop in the course of this project. Planning/Policy Issues to Consider

All of the questions below were generated from the documents discussed above, and that are also available in the Appendix.

Is there any reason for the manufacturing-related clusters to be combined into a Diversified Manufacturing cluster? (See Report #1)

Textiles are clearly declining but what is left still has a very large LQ. Should Textiles be included? (See Report #1)

Education is a big cluster but how does the workforce break down by career pathways? Is Education recruiting professors/teachers or is it more ancillary staff? Does it make a difference as to whether this is a priority cluster (See Report #1)?

Should Hospitality and Retail be included because of its tendency to grow low-skill, low-wage jobs with ill-defined career pathways? (See Report #1)

Occupational Considerations

An Occupational Report (Report #4 in the Appendix), which includes a chart with projected occupational openings, another chart with the Top 100 openings, and a chart, that organizes the Top 100 occupations into prospective Career Pathways for occupations that


9


are in multiple industries, is included in the Appendix for reference. Some of this information may be relevant as you make your cluster choices. Ultimately, we will be interested in looking at the staffing patterns of the industry clusters that are chosen and compare them with this career pathway information as a basis for programming decisions.
