In June 2002, “Demographic, Labor Force and Industry Trends” were published for Ohio’s 12 Economic Development Regions; “Market Analysis of Key Workforce Trends” was published for all of Ohio’s Workforce Investment Areas in 2000. This current set of “Workforce Analysis” publications is an update of these efforts to produce reports for all nineteen WIAs in the state, including all One-Stops in WIA 7. This workforce analysis report provides a summary snapshot of the Summit and Medina Workforce Development System (referred to as the ‘Workforce Development System’ in this document), the Workforce Investment Area for Medina and Summit Counties. This presentation also examines some of the key trends compared to state and national trends. The first section begins with a review of the area’s basic demographic and economic characteristics. The second section shows trends in important statistics for the area, including population, employment, unemployment rates, income and housing. Employment characteristics by industry receive a detailed examination in the third section. The fourth and final section looks briefly at the area’s educational characteristics. A careful review of this information can yield important insights about the local economy. One may assess the health of the local economy by examining key economic trends and comparing them to the state or the nation. Or an examination of industry composition will yield insights into the strengths and weaknesses that local economic development policy might address. Please refer to the Technical Notes and References sections at the end of this publication for reference and documentation of the wide variety of statistical data presented in this report. Keith Ewald, Ph.D., Chief Bureau of Labor Market Information Office of Workforce Development Ohio Department of Job and Family Services ii Summit & Medina Workforce Development System Highlights Summit County is the economically and demographically dominant county in the Workforce Development System area. This is due in part to its larger population and employment base. The two counties in this workforce investment area differ significantly in their commuting patterns, primarily because they belong to two different metropolitan statistical areas. Total population has increased about 6.3 percent in the last ten years. Demographically, the two counties differ noticeably in their age distributions. Employment rolls have grown 10.7 percent between 1995 and 2005. Medina County was affected less by the 2001 recession than was Summit County with its large industrial base. Area unemployment rates have tracked very closely with state and national rates. Nominal per capita income has risen steadily over the past ten years at a 3.7 percent annual compound rate of growth, reaching nearly $33,300 in 2004. Construction activity has fallen from a peak in 1996, with about three thousand permits granted in 2005. Average valuation has increased steadily during the last decade. The dominant employment sectors for this region in 2005 were trade, transportation and utilities; professional and business services; manufacturing; and education and health services. Management of companies and enterprises is more concentrated here than elsewhere in the state and experienced the most job growth from 2000 to 2005, followed by health care and social assistance. Management of companies and enterprises also had the area’s highest average weekly earnings: $1,532, followed by mining, wholesale trade and federal government. Over half of all local industry sectors paid more than the statewide average. The area has a higher level of overall educational attainment than the rest of the state. iii Workforce Analysis Summit and Medina Workforce Development System I. Understanding Local Labor Markets Labor economists define a labor market as a geographic area in which both the demand and supply for labor are met primarily within that region. 1 In other words, it is an area where there are jobs and the majority of workers needed for those jobs. An important first step in identifying local labor markets is to examine the commuting patterns of individuals who live or work in the area. These patterns are one of the primary inputs used to define metropolitan and micropolitan areas. 2 These two counties differ significantly in their commuting patterns, with Summit County showing a large influx of workers from outside the county. The commuting differences between the two counties may be explained in part by the fact that they are included in two separate metropolitan areas: Medina County is a part of the Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor metropolitan area, while Summit County contains the central city for the Akron Metropolitan Statistical Area.

Most workers commuting into a county to work usually do so from adjacent counties. Detailed county-to-county commuting is shown in Appendix C. 1 Goldstein 2005, p. 10. Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Area definitions are excerpted from the Office of Management and Budget’s Federal Register Notice (65 FR 82228 – 82238). See Appendix B for detailed definitions. 2 Understanding Local Labor Markets, continued Summit & Medina Workforce Development System Figure 2: Net Flow of Ohio Commuters *Net flow equals in commuters minus out commuters. A negative number means more people are commuting to work outside the county than are in commuting.

Key Trends Population: Total population in the Workforce Development System area has grown about 6.3 percent in the last ten years, compared to only 2.3 percent statewide. While Medina County is clearly the smaller of the two, it has also shown the most growth, adding about 30 thousand residents during this period (22.0%). Summit County’s population increased by only 2.3 percent. Figure 3: Population Trends 800,000 Workforce Dev. Sys.

Medina County is the younger of the two, with a lower median age and higher proportion of minors under 18 (27.2%). Medina County also has a slightly higher proportion of working age adults 18 to 64: about 62.2 percent compared to 61.9 percent in Summit County. Summit County has a substantially larger share of elderly residents.

Summit County accounts for more than four fifths of employment in the area and is more susceptible to economic downturns. Medina County’s employment levels, however, showed almost no reaction to the recession of 2001. Overall, employment has grown 10.7 percent between 1995 and 2005.

Manufacturing industries lost the most jobs in this area between 2000 and 2005.

Medina County had lower unemployment rates in the last decade, only 4.7 percent in 2005. Summit County has tracked more closely with nationwide rates, 5.8 percent in 2005 compared with 5.9 percent in Ohio and 5.1 percent for the U.S. Figure 7: Unemployment Trends 7.0% U.S. Ohio Workforce Dev.

Area wide, income has risen to nearly $33,300 per capita in 2004. Incomes have been rising steadily over the past ten years at an annual compound rate of growth of 3.7 percent, the same as Ohio’s growth rate but somewhat lower than the country’s 4.1 percent annual growth. Local incomes have generally held just above state and national incomes throughout this period. This may be because the area is largely urbanized; incomes in urban areas tend to be higher than those in rural counties. Figure 8: Per Capita Income $40,000 U.S. Ohio Workforce Dev. Sys.

Overall, new construction activity has been cooling off from its peak in 1996, with about three thousand permits granted in 2005. Summit County has accounted for most of this decline. Trends in Medina County have been essentially flat in the last decade. The average valuations for these new permits have been steadily increasing during this period.

Industry Analysis Employment by Sector: Figure 11 below shows the distribution of industry employment in 2005. These statistics do not include most farmers, other self-employed workers, and others not covered by unemployment insurance. This pie chart shows a very diverse mix of employment in the Workforce Development System region. The four dominant major sectors in this region, together accounting for nearly two thirds of all local workers, are trade, transportation and utilities, which includes retail, wholesale markets, trucking and warehousing; professional and business services, including law and accounting firms, corporate offices and administrative support; manufacturing; and education and health services, including hospitals, clinics, colleges and private schools. The other major sectors shown in this chart are government and public schools (11.5%); leisure and hospitality, which includes hotels, restaurants and certain recreation facilities (9.7%); construction (4.5%); financial activities like banking, insurance and real estate (4.5%); other service industries like laundries, repair shops and certain non-profit organizations (3.0%); information, including publishing and telecommunications (1.4%); and a small number of workers in natural resources and mining (0.2%). Figure 11: Employment by Major Sector, 2005 Natural Resources and Mining 0.2% Construction 4.5% Government 11.5% Manufacturing 14.2% Other Services 3.0% Leisure and Hospitality 9.7% Trade, Transportation and Utilities 21.6% Education and Health Services 14.1% Information 1.4% Professional and Business Services 15.4% Financial Activities 4.5% Figure 12 on the next page shows more detailed information about sector employment in the region and how it compares with the state. In addition to the area’s industry mix relative to the state, the proportion of total state employment for each sector helps identify the importance of a sector’s employment in Ohio. The clearest example of such an industry is management of 8 Industry Analysis, continued Summit & Medina Workforce Development System companies and enterprises, which includes mostly holding companies and corporate offices. In Ohio, this sector accounts for only 1.9 percent of workers, but in this area, its share is 4.8 percent. Two other concentrated industries in this region are wholesale and retail trade, with 5.2 and 12.4 percent shares, respectively.

The left column ranks twenty sectors shown by their employment levels in 2005. The top ten sectors in this column are printed in blue. The right column ranks sectors by the net number of new jobs created since 2005. The top ten growth sectors in the second column (in terms of net jobs added) are printed in red. Sectors that appear at the top of both lists are printed in purple. Sectors for which a growth rate could not be established due to confidentiality restrictions are printed in italics. Sectors with high employment levels are often a major source of job openings because seven of ten openings are expected to be replacement needs. 3 There are several sectors that appear at the top of both lists: health care and social assistance; retail trade; local government; accommodation and food services; wholesale trade; and management of companies and enterprises. The largest employment sector in the region was manufacturing, which employed nearly 47,000 workers but also lost the greatest number of jobs. The three remaining large employment sectors were administrative and waste services; construction; and professional, scientific and technical services. Management of companies and enterprises added the most jobs during this period: about 9,400. 4 The four remaining growth sectors were education services; finance and insurance; arts, entertainment and recreation; and state government.

A large portion of this growth is due to industry reclassifications from other categories. Statewide, employment in this industry sector grew approximately 19.6 percent from 2000 to 2005. 4 10 Industry Analysis, continued Summit & Medina Workforce Development System Average Weekly Earnings: Figure 14 below ranks the sectors in the area by their average weekly earnings—total wage or salary regardless of hours worked—and shows how much the sectors have grown or declined in 2005. Statewide average weekly earnings for all employers were $718 in 2005, the same as for this region. This table also uses the same color-coding system as Figure 13 on the previous page, with sectors printed in purple being large sectors with growth. More than half of the industry sectors shown here had average weekly earnings higher than the state average. The highest-earning sector in this region was also the fastest growing: management of companies and enterprises. Average weekly earnings in this sector were $1,532 per week in 2005. The remaining top five earning sectors were mining at $1,495 per week, wholesale trade at $999 per week, federal government at $975 per week, and professional, scientific and technical services at $973 per week. Bear in mind that industry size and growth do not always coincide with earnings potential. Accommodation and food services was one of the largest employment sectors for 2005 and added nearly 1,800 jobs in the last five years, but was also the area’s lowest-paying sector, with the average worker making only $211 per week. This industry tends to hire large numbers of part time workers, for many of whom tip income—not included in these statistics—is a large portion of earnings.

Educational Infrastructure Figure 15 below shows educational attainment for persons 25 and older in the area, according to data from the 2000 decennial census. Overall, the Workforce Development System region has a slightly higher level of educational attainment than the rest of the state, especially in terms of bachelor degree holders. Medina and Summit Counties are both similar in their educational profiles.
