Summit & Medina Workforce Development System
Preface
Over the last few years, the Bureau of Labor Market Information (BLMI) has prepared several
sets of customized regional publications to help workforce professionals and others gain a better
understanding of their local economy and how it has fared compared to other areas. 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.

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.

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.

Figure 2 on the next page shows a visual summary of the net flow of commuters from the 2000
decennial census. Most workers commuting into a county to work usually do so from adjacent
counties. Detailed county-to-county commuting is shown in Appendix C.

*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. For more detailed information, please visit

II. 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.

Demographic Traits: Data from the 2000 Census, shown in Figure 4 below, reveal some
interesting differences between the counties. 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.

Employment: Figure 5 below shows major differences in employment between Medina and
Summit Counties. 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.

Several major sectors have added jobs in the last economic cycle, including professional and
business services, education and health services and leisure and hospitality. Manufacturing
industries lost the most jobs in this area between 2000 and 2005.

Key Trends, continued
Summit & Medina Workforce Development System
Unemployment: The Workforce Development System has largely followed the same pattern of
fluctuations in unemployment as Ohio and the U.S. The region showed a slight upward trend in
1999 before major increases in 2001, indicating the region felt the effects of the recession earlier
than the rest of the country. 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.

Income: As Figure 8 below shows, per capita incomes in the area have been nearly identical
over the past few years, varying by only by a few hundred dollars. 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.

Housing Permits: New permits for residential construction are shown in Figure 9 below.
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.

III. 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 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

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.

Summit & Medina Workforce Development System
Employment Prospects: The table below looks at industry classifications and is color coded to
more quickly identify those sectors most important to the region. 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.

Ohio Job Outlook to 2012, p. 3.
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.

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.
