Northeast Oklahoma Workforce Area BriefingAugust 2018441134521399500OverviewThe Northeast Oklahoma Workforce Development Area is composed of 7 Oklahoma counties: Craig, Delaware, Mayes, Nowata, Ottawa, Rogers, and Washington. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, this combined region of Oklahoma covers 4,440 square miles, making it the smallest of the state’s workforce areas in land mass. Approximately 284,990 Oklahoma citizens live in the 7-county area in 2018 – 7.2% of the state’s total population. Four cities in the area boast populations of 10,000 residents or more, including Bartlesville, Owasso, Claremore, and Miami.Note that for simplicity, the Northeast Oklahoma Workforce Development Area will generally be referenced throughout this report as the “Area.” Sources for all data are cited. The most common data source utilized is EMSI – Economic Modeling Solutions International – data release 2018.3. Data are rounded to the nearest whole number or the nearest tenth as appropriate. As a result, some data presented may not sum exactly to the total reported. Negative numbers are shown in red text bracketed by parentheses.Population Breakdown: CountyRogers County is the most populous county in the Area with an estimated 2018 population of 93,475. Based upon historical data, projections indicate that it will retain that status through 2028, growing by 4.7% or 4,367 individuals over that ten-year timeframe (EMSI 2018.3). Claremore is the county seat; however, with an estimated 2017 population of 18,729 the city provides only a fraction of the overall county residency. Included in the U.S. Census Bureau’s Tulsa Metropolitan Statistical Area, the majority of Rogers County’s population is centered on the outer edge of that region (U.S. Census Bureau).By a slim margin, Bartlesville, the county seat of Washington County, reports the largest population at 36,389. Owasso, located in both Rogers and Tulsa Counties, is ranked second at 36,215. (U.S. Census Bureau)In contrast to Rogers County, Nowata County reports the smallest population with only 10,387 residents, 1/9th that of Rogers. Over the past five years, the population of Nowata County has declined by (-1.4%), a loss of (-147) Oklahoma citizens. This trend is expected to continue through 2028 at a steady pace, losing a projected (-1.3%) or (-134) residents.Historically, the overall population of the Northeast Oklahoma Workforce Development Area increased marginally. Between 2013 and 2018, the population rose by 4,526 residents, a growth rate of only 1.6%. In comparison, the state and national populations increased by 3.2% and 3.6%, respectively. Only three of the Area’s seven counties reported population gains with the greatest growth rate centered in Rogers County: Rogers (+4.9%, equal to 4,349 new residents), Washington (+1.5%, +762), and Delaware (+0.7%, +303). The remaining four counties declined in population: Mayes (-0.1%, -34 residents), Ottawa (-2.1%, -663), Craig (-0.3%, -45), and Nowata, as indicated previously, lost (-1.4%).In addition to overall population representation, it is helpful to examine population density, measured in the number of persons living in a one-square-mile area. Overall, the Area exhibits a density of 64 persons per square mile. Rogers and Washington Counties are the most densely populated at 131 and 123 per square mile respectively; Nowata, with the third smallest area and the smallest population is home to only 18 persons per square mile. As a point of comparison, the two counties in Oklahoma experiencing the highest population density, Oklahoma and Tulsa, each display county-wide population densities of over 1,000 individuals per square mile.Figure SEQ Figure \* ARABIC 1: 2018 Percentage of Population by CountySource: EMSI, 2018.3Population Breakdown: Race and EthnicityFigure 2, following the analysis summary, illustrates the racial and ethnic diversity of residents living in the Northeast Oklahoma Workforce Development Area. The racial categories designated by the U.S. Census Bureau are utilized. It should be noted that the Census Bureau categorizes “Hispanic,” not as a race, but as an ethnicity. As such, Hispanic is always reported in conjunction with another racial designator, i.e. “Black or African American, Hispanic.” Unless otherwise noted, the Hispanic ethnicity is aggregated regardless of race while the individual races cited were reported as Non-Hispanic.In 2018, the population of the Area is less racially diverse than Oklahoma as a whole. An estimated 194,657 Area residents identify themselves as “White.” This equates to 68.3% of the total Area population, 2.9 percentage points greater than the statewide respresentation of the White race which is reported at 65.4%. While this figure is higher than the state, the representation of White individuals has declined by 0.4% since 2013. Predictions indicate this trend is expected to continue through 2028 when White residents are estimated to represent only 67.1% of the Area population.The smallest racial cohort includes those of Native Hawaiians or Pacific Islanders descent representing only 0.2% of the overall population; a total of 441 residents. By 2028, the population of this cohort is expected to increase by 3.2%, adding 14 residents. Individuals of native descent are categorized by the Census Burea as “American Indian or Alaska Native.” For simplicity, this racial category will be referrenced in this report as “Native American.” At 16.3% of the population, Native Americans are significantly over-represented in the Northeast Oklahoma Workforce Development Area when compared with the Oklahoma statewide representation of 8.3%. This racial disparity between the Area and the state as a whole could be expected based upon the location of the Area in Oklahoma’s historical Indian Territory. Many recognized Native American tribes maintain tribal headquarters in the Area, predominantly in the city of Miami in Ottawa County. These include the Delaware Tribe of Indians, Bartlesville, Washington County; Miami Nation, Miami; Modoc Tribe, Miami; Ottawa Tribe, Miami; Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma, Miami; Quapaw Tribe of Oklahoma, Quapaw, Ottawa County; Seneca-Cayuga Tribe, Miami; Shawnee Tribe, Miami; and the Wyandotte Nation, Wyandotte, Ottawa County. (Oklahoma Historical Society)Residents self-identifying as Two or More Races, ranked third in percentage of the population, also exceed statewide averages. Over 22,600 residents are included in this category, representing 7.9% of the population, 2.3 percentage points above the state average of 5.6%. “Black or African Americans” are significantly under-represented in the Area at 1.2% compared to a statewide population of 7.5%. Likewise, the racial category of “Asian” is also under-represented. Though the overall population of residents self-identifying as Asian is relatively small across the state: 2.3% equivalent to 91,380 residents, Asians only represent 1.2% in the Area, a total of 3,544 individuals.Individuals who self-identify as being of Hispanic ethnicity account for 4.7% of the Area population. As noted previously, Hispanic ethnicity is always reported in conjunction with a racial designator. This figure includes everyone of Hispanic ethnicity, regardless of race. Between 2013 and 2018, the Hispanic population in the Area increased by 17.4%. This is significantly greater than the statewide growth rate of 15.3%. Between 2018 and 2028, the rate of growth for the Hispanic population in the Area is expected to slow to 12.9%.Between 2013 and 2018, the growth rate for the Non-Hispanic population reflected a loss of (-0.4%), resulting in a decline in population in that category of an estimated (-775) individuals. This trend is expected to shift between 2018 and 2028, with a minimal projected increase in overall population of 1.1% Non-Hispanics. It should be noted, however, this is a much smaller growth rate than the 12.9% for Hispanics reported previously.Figure 2: Racial and Ethnic RepresentationSource: EMSI, 2018.3Native American PopulationBased upon the significant over-representation of Native Americans in the Area, this group was selected for further analysis. Following the analysis summary, Figure 3, titled “2018 Percentage of Race by Age, Native Americans versus All Other Racial Categories” illustrates the Native American population by age as compared to populations who identify as any other race. Unless otherwise noted, the figures provided represent data aggregated by race only, without consideration of ethnicity.As reported previously, Native Americans, Non-Hispanic, account for 16.3% of the population in the Northeast Oklahoma Workforce Area. When individuals classifying themselves as Native Americans, Hispanic, are included, the percentage increases to 17%. In comparison, the aggregated counts of all other racial populations, represented in the chart by the category “All Other Races,” equates to 83.0% of the overall Area population. The lowest percentages of the Native American population are found in the 15-19 and 20-24 age ranges, at 8.7% and 7.6% respectively. The Native American population in the Area trends significantly younger than other races. Over 50% of Native Americans in the Area are 34 years of age or younger (54.8%). This figure has declined marginally since the 2016 figures presented in the 2017 Area Briefing (55.5%). In contrast, the majority of residents classified as “All Other Races” are over the age of 35 (58.9%). Nearly 25% of all Native Americans residing in the Area are under the age of 15 and 33.4% are under the age of 19; for all other races, only 18.1% are under the age of 15 and 24% are under the age of 19. At the opposite end of the age spectrum, an examination of the group of individuals above traditional retirement age – 65 years and over – reveals that Other Races are represented at a rate nearly twice that of Native Americans. Nearly 21% of Area residents of Other Races are retirement age versus only 10.7% of Native Americans.These figures hold significant implication for the diversity of the racial makeup of the future workforce in the Northeast Oklahoma Workforce Development Area. Those individuals classified as “All other Races” currently in the workforce will continue to age out and exit the workforce at a higher rate than Native Americans, to be replaced by a greater representation of entry-age Native Americans. Another impact of this shift in racial representation affects educators. This significant cohort of young Native Americans either preparing to enter or currently enrolled in the K-12 and/or Career Tech systems offers increased opportunities to engage with and mentor Native American youth, preparing them for the future needs of the workforce.Figure 3: 2018 Percentage of Race by Age; Native Americans versus All Other Racial CategoriesSource: EMSI 2018.3Equal OpportunityThe U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is tasked with enforcing federal laws that make it illegal to discriminate against job applicants and employees who are included in several diverse categories. These protected groups include age, disability, national origin, race/color, religion, and sex, among others (). The following data serve to increase awareness of cohorts of Oklahoma citizens of workforce age possibly at risk for discrimination. For the purposes of this report, data and analyses are presented for six categories specifically associated with Equal Opportunity enforcement: Disability, Age and Gender, Race and Ethnicity, English Language Learners, Religious Affiliation, and Unemployment of Adults Age 40 to 64 years. Age ranges for each category are aligned as closely as possible contingent upon data availability. Sources are noted for each category and full data regarding Equal Opportunity in the Area are available in Appendix A.Disability (18 to 64 years of age; Under 18 years of age).Source: American Community Survey, 2016, 5-year EstimatesThe U.S. Census Bureau collects disability data through the American Community Survey and reports it aggregated by disability type, termed “difficulties.” The six categories utilized in this report include hearing, vision, cognitive, ambulatory, self-care, and independent living difficulties. Data are self-reported by survey respondents based upon their perception of the existence of a disability/difficulty.Current Workforce, 18 to 64 years of age.In 2016, the population of the Area for individuals between 18 and 64 years of age was approximately 162,936. Of these, 25,699 reported experiencing one or more disabilities, resulting in an overall disability rate for the Area in this age bracket of 15.8%, a rate significantly greater than the overall state rate of 13.9%.For those individuals reporting a disability, most indicated their difficulty was of an ambulatory nature (52.7%). Self-care disabilities ranked lowest with only 16.9%.Males were more likely to report a difficulty than females, exhibiting overall rates of 16.7% and 14.9% respectively. With regard to race, the highest rate was found among Native Americans at 19.9%. Individuals who self-identify as Black or African American experience the second-highest disability rate at 18.8%.Asians reported the lowest disability rate at 4.5%. This rate is extremely low compared with the next higher rate of 11.4% for the “Some Other Race” category. This trend is reflected at virtually all geographical levels – state, Workforce Area, and most Oklahoma counties. Further research would be required to determine if this trend presents an accurate representation of the disability rates for individuals of Asian descent or if other factors such as privacy concerns, a reluctance to report the existence of disabilities, or cultural beliefs may be skewing the data. Future Workforce, Under 18 years of age.Disability rates for Area youth under the age of 18 are significantly lower at 4.5%, though this rate constitutes the second-highest among all Workforce Development Areas. Multiple factors may contribute to the differential between the adult and youth rates. Many disabilities manifest as the individual grows older. Conversely, impediments are often difficult or impossible to diagnose in very young children. Additionally, some of the disabilities reported to the U.S. Census Bureau are inappropriate for certain age ranges, delaying the reporting of those disabilities.For this age group, Cognitive disability types presented most frequently, representing 73.9% of respondents reporting a difficulty. Ambulatory difficulties ranked lowest at 13.6%. As may be expected, Independent Living difficulties were not applicable to this subgroup of Area residents.As with the older cohort, males were more likely to report a disability than females, 7.3% compared with 4.5%. Individuals self-identifying as Black or African American reported the highest rates at 7.9%. This is a relatively small population of only 794 young residents, with 63 experiencing a disability. Native Americans reported a slightly lower disability rate of 7.6%. This rate represents a much larger population of 12,153. Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islanders reported the lowest rate at 0.0%, representing 90 youth.Age and Gender (15 to 64 years of age).Source: EMSI, 2017.4EMSI reports population data based upon 5-year age brackets. In order to best represent the current workforce, ten age brackets were selected ranging from 15 to 19 years of age through 60 to 64 years of age. The Area workforce is contracting with fewer workers projected in this age range within the next 10 years. The total estimated 2017 Area population for this age bracket was 176,139. By 2027, that number is anticipated to decline to 169,570, an overall loss of 6,569 individuals (-3.7%). While the overall number of workers in the Area is anticipated to decline, a significant increase will occur in the prime working age categories of 30 to 34-, 35 to 39-, and 40 to 44-years of age. These three age groups are projected to experience growth rates of 9.7%, 17.9%, and 9.4% respectively. Figure 4: Percentage of Growth/Loss of Workforce Population by Age Range, 2017 to 2027Source: EMSI, 2017.4In 2017, gender representation in equal in the 15 to 64-year bracket – 50% male versus 50% female. While the overall population is anticipated to decrease by 2027, that decline disproportionately affects females. The gap between the genders will widen by 0.4 percentage points, 50.4% male compared with 49.6% female.Race and Ethnicity (15 to 64 years of age).Source: EMSI, 2017.4As indicated previously, the racial and ethnic categories utilized in this report are designated by the U.S. Census Bureau.In 2017, individuals self-identifying as White (regardless of ethnicity) constituted the largest racial group in the Area at 71.5%. American Indian or Alaskan Native (regardless of ethnicity) represent the second-largest group at 17.8%. When disaggregated by ethnicity, the category of White, Non-Hispanics maintained the majority of residents, albeit at a lower rate of 68.0%.Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander are the least populous, accounting for only 0.2% or 315 residents. By 2027, this population is anticipated to increase by 6.3% however, due to the small population sizes, this growth rate only results in 20 new citizens.Black or African Americans represent only 1.6% of the population in this age bracket. This is well below the state-level representation for this racial group at 8.2%. By 2027, this cohort is predicted to increase by 4.5%, adding 127 residents.With regard to ethnicity only, Hispanics constitute 4.6% of the total population in the Area; however, the growth rate for this group is predicted to be 14.3% by 2027. This equates to 1,160 new Hispanic citizens. In comparison, the population of Non-Hispanics is anticipated to decline by (-4.6%), a projected loss of (-7,729) residents.English Language Learners (18 to 64 years of age).Source: American Community Survey, 2016, 5-year EstimatesThe U.S. Census Bureau collects data regarding English usage and perceived fluency via the American Community Survey. Survey recipients are first requested to identify the primary language spoken in their home. Language choices are limited to:Spanish;Other Indo-European Language, (French, Italian, German, Russian, Hindi, Other Indic languages, etc.);Asian and Pacific Island Language, (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hmong, Vietnamese, Other languages of Asia, etc.); and,Other Language (Native languages of North America, Arabic, Hebrew, some languages of Africa, Hungarian, etc.).Respondents who indicate speaking a language other than English are then asked to estimate their level of fluency in English (“How well does this person speak English?”). Four responses are available to this question: “Very Well,” “Well,” “Not Well,” or “Not at All.”Over 94% of residents in Northeast Oklahoma Workforce Development Area speak only English in their homes; 5.9% speak a language other than English. Of that 5.9%:3.1% speak Spanish;0.8% speak Other European Languages;1.0% speak Asian and Pacific Island Language; and,1.0% speak Other Languages.Spanish-language speakers report the lowest level of perceived English fluency with 21.6% reporting they speak English either “Not Well” or “Not at All.” Approximately 14.8% of Asian and Pacific Island Language speakers report this same level of English proficiency.Only 1.3% of individuals who speak “Other Languages” report low English proficiency. While the category of “Other Languages” includes a broad variety of tongues, based upon the racial makeup of the Area, it may be presumed these individuals predominantly represent Native American language speakers.Religious Affiliation.Source: Multiple cited within the analysisWhile religion is a key component of concern for discrimination regarding equal opportunity, data pertaining to religious beliefs and affiliations is limited. Privately-conducted surveys are the predominant source of information available including the Pew Research Center Religious Landscape Study (), a 2009 Religious Affiliation study conducted by InfoGroup and reported via Social Explorer at the University of Wisconsin Extension (), and a 2010 Gallup Poll that quantifies perceived feelings of religious discrimination. Additional information is referenced from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunities Commission (EEOC). Despite the limitations of these sources, the statistics included in this report can assist in building a framework for the context of Oklahomans’ religious beliefs and help to identify the potential for increased risk factors of religious discrimination.Most residents of the Area identify with the Evangelical Protestant church. Over 350 congregations exist representing nearly 67,513 members – 60.8% of all survey respondents. Another 20.3% identify themselves as Mainline Protestant while 3.7% are Roman Catholic. While there are 9 Jehovah’s Witnesses congregations identified in the Area, the membership of those congregations constitutes only 1.9% of the respondents.At the time of the referenced studies, there was minimal representation in the state of Non-Christian faiths. As of 2009, there were no reported Islamic, Hindu, or Buddhist congregations in the Area. Since that time, additional religious institutions for these faiths have been established in Oklahoma, but none were reported to be located in the Area.While data does not appear to be available at state or regional levels, national data emphasize the importance of local awareness of this topic. According to the EEOC, religion-based discrimination charges filed with the agency rose steadily from 1997 to 2016. In 1997, the EEOC received 1,709 filings based upon perceived discrimination due to religion; 20 years later, in 2016, the EEOC received 3,825 filings, an increase of more than 123%. Additionally, the mixture of findings has altered with significant monetary impact. In 1997, 12.1% of charges received merited resolutions with a monetary benefit total of $2.2 million dollars ($3.3M in 2016 dollars). After reaching a peak at 24.1% merit resolutions with monetary benefits of $6.4M 2007 ($7.5M 2016), merit resolutions dropped in 2016 to 14.9%. Despite this 2016 drop in the percentage of claims upheld, awards rose as monetary benefits reached $10.1 million dollars. Clearly, while merit was found in a lesser number of religion-based EEOC claims in 2016, the average damage award/settlement per merited finding increased. ().Unemployment of Older Adults (40 to 64 years of age).Source: U. S. Census Bureau 2016 American Community Survey Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMs)With regard to unemployment figures, data concerning individuals in the protected age category of 40 and over is difficult to extract. Most sources provide data broken into age ranges inconsistent with these protected class parameters. The data provided in this report was mined via the Data Ferret application from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2016 American Community Survey Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMs). Unfortunately, the data from this Sample is only available at the national, United States regional, state, and PUMs levels. As the Bureau’s designated State Data Center, the Oklahoma Department of Commerce designates the extent of each PUMs Area (PUMA). The latest delineation of PUMAs took place in 2010. Currently, 28 PUMAs are defined for the state of Oklahoma including six for the Oklahoma City area and four for the Tulsa area. Due to population requirements for the designation of a PUMs Area, each PUMA may include several counties or only a single part of a county, but are not defined or limited by county geographical boundaries. As a result, parts of a single county may be allocated to multiple different PUMAs. This methodology eliminates the ability to either 1) aggregate data into a WFDA, or 2) disaggregate data applicable to individual counties. Within these data limitations, the observations presented in this section are made based upon PUMs Areas that contain counties or parts of counties included in the Area.The Rogers (Central) and Wagoner (West) Counties – Claremore City PUMA exhibits the highest labor force participation (LFP) rate in the Area of 80.8%. The Washington, Osage (North and West), Pawnee, Creek (Northwest) Counties PUMA reports the lowest LFP rate in the Area at 64.0%. For comparison purposes, two PUMs in Oklahoma City report LFPs of 80.7% and 80.6% and the four Tulsa PUMAs report LFP rates ranging between 72.6% and 79.3%.Unemployment rates for this cohort for PUMAs containing Area counties were reported as:5.0% in Northeast Oklahoma PUMA containing Craig, Delaware, Mayes, Nowata, Ottawa, and Northeast Rogers Counties;2.4% in Rogers (Central) and Wagoner (West) Counties – Claremore City PUMA; and,4.2% in Washington, Osage (North and West), Pawnee, Creek (Northwest) Counties PUMA.Regarding racial distribution, the highest unemployment rates were reported as:Table 1: Highest Unemployment Rates by PUMA and RacePUMARaceUnemployment RateNortheast Oklahoma PUMASome Other Race25.6%Rogers (Central) and Wagoner (West) Counties – Claremore City PUMANative American5.8%Washington, Osage (North and West), Pawnee, Creek (Northwest) Counties PUMATwo or More Races13.2%Within this age bracket, individuals with disabilities generally report significantly higher unemployment rates than those without disabilities. The exception to this is found in the Washington, Osage (North and West), Pawnee, Creek (Northwest) Counties PUMA where individuals with disabilities report lower unemployment rate by 0.7 percentage points, 3.5% versus 4.2% for individuals without disabilities.Table 2: Highest Unemployment Rates by PUMA and Disability StatusPUMADisabilityNo DisabilityNortheast Oklahoma PUMA14.2%3.5%Rogers (Central) and Wagoner (West) Counties – Claremore City PUMA19.8%0.9%Washington, Osage (North and West), Pawnee, Creek (Northwest) Counties PUMA3.5%4.2%Unemployment rates of males generally exceed those for females. The Northeast Oklahoma PUMA is the exception, with unemployment rates of 3.8% and 6.6%, male versus female, respectivelyUnemployment rates for Hispanics are reported at 0.0% for two of the three Area PUMAs: the Rogers (Central) and Wagoner (West) Counties – Claremore City PUMA and the Washington, Osage (North and West), Pawnee, Creek (Northwest) Counties PUMA. According to these data, at the time of the report, all of the individuals of Hispanic ethnicity who wanted a job in these PUMAs were working. The Northeast Oklahoma PUMA is the exception, with an unemployment rate for Hispanic individuals age 40 to 64 years of 21.7% versus 4.7% for Non-Hispanics in the same age bracket.Educational AttainmentData regarding educational attainment are gathered by the U.S. Census Bureau utilizing a variety of surveys. Census Bureau staff aggregate the data into seven educational attainment categories ranging from the completion of “Less than 9th Grade” up to the attainment of a “Graduate Degree or Higher.” Unfortunately, the scale currently in use fails to quantify those individuals who have achieved an educational award above the level of a high school diploma but below the attainment of an Associates Degree. This missing category is generally characterized by the completion of a career-specific vocationally associated certificate or an industry-recognized credential. The educational attainment levels, categorized utilizing the Census Bureau classifications, are discussed below and followed by two charts, “Educational Attainment by Education Level” and “Educational Attainment by Race/Ethnicity.” Data are provided for individuals aged 25 and over.Educational attainment in the Northeast Oklahoma Workforce Development Area is heavily centered in the areas of “High school diploma” and “Some College” accounting for a total of 59.5% of residents. Of that total 36.3% of residents have earned a diploma while an additional 23.2% have attended some college without completing a degree. Nearly one half of the Area residents have completed a high school diploma or less (49.0%). An estimated 12.7% of those individuals lack a high school diploma.Approximately 87.2% of Northeast Oklahoma Workforce Development Area residents have attained a high school diploma or higher. This level of educational attainment is higher than the state and national averages at 86% each. With regard to postsecondary degrees – Associates Degrees and higher – the Area attainment level of 27.7% is lower than both the state (30.9%) and the national (37.4%) levels. Residents possessing a Bachelor’s Degree constitute 13.9% of the population, two percentage points below the state level and 4.5 percentage points lower than the national level. Nearly 12,000 residents (6.0%) hold a Graduate Degree or Higher. This attainment level is just over one-half of the national level of 11.1% and 33% below the state level of 8.0%.Race and ethnicity figure prominently in educational achievement. With regard to race, regardless of ethnicity, 28.4% of Area residents self-identifying as “White” report attaining a college degree. Individuals of Two or More races rank slightly lower with a college degree attainment rate of 28.0%. For individuals who report being “Black or African American” or Native American the percentages drop significantly to 24.5% and 22.8% respectively. The highest college degree completion rates are those of individuals who self-identify as Asian (53.2%) though it must be remembered these residents represent a very small portion of the overall Area population.The most significant educational attainment gap is revealed by an examination of data associated with ethnicity at the lower educational levels. Approximately 32.5% of Area Hispanics (regardless of race) possess an educational level less than a high school diploma as compared with 12.0% for individuals of Non-Hispanic ethnicity. Only 52.3% of Hispanics have attained a high school diploma versus 59.8% of Non-Hispanics. With regards to a college degree, Hispanics continue to trail Non-Hispanics, 15.2% versus 28.2%, respectively.Figure 5: Educational Attainment by Educational Level; Northeast Oklahoma Workforce Development Area Compared with Oklahoma and the United StatesSource: EMSI 2018.3 Figure 6: Educational Attainment by Race/Ethnicity; Northeast Oklahoma Workforce Development Area Source: EMSI 2018.3Educational AssetsColleges, Universities, Career Technology Centers, and K-12 schools are instrumental in developing the workforce of the Northeast Oklahoma Workforce Development Area. The Area is home to several institutions which help supply local businesses and organizations with a workforce that has the necessary labor and skills to be competitive in today’s economy.CareerTechs.There are two CareerTechs with five locations in the Area:Northeast Technology Center (Afton, Claremore, Kansas, and Pryor)Tri County Technology Center (Bartlesville)Source: Colleges and Universities.There are three colleges and universities in the Area with five campus locations:Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College (Miami)Oklahoma Wesleyan University (Bartlesville)Rogers State University (Claremore, Bartlesville, and Pryor)Source: Oklahoma State Regents of Higher EducationK-12 School Districts.There are 44 K-12 school districts in the Northern Oklahoma Workforce Development Area:Craig County:White Oak (Vinita)Ketchum (Ketchum)Welch (Welch)Bluejacket (Bluejacket)Vinita (Vinita)Delaware County:Cleora (Afton)Leach (Rose)Kenwood (Salina)Moseley (Colcord)Jay (Jay)Grove (Grove)Kansas (Kansas)Colcord (Colcord)Oaks-Mission (Oaks)Mayes County:Wickliffe (Salina)Osage (Pryor)Pryor (Pryor)Adair (Adair)Salina (Salina)Locust Grove (Locust Grove)Chouteau-Mazie (Chouteau)Nowata County:Oklahoma Union (South Coffeyville)Nowata (Nowata)South Coffeyville (South Coffeyville)Ottawa County:Turkey Ford (Wyandotte)Wyandotte (Wyandotte)Quapaw (Quapaw)Commerce (Commerce)Miami (Miami)Afton (Afton)Fairland (Fairland)Rogers County:Justus-Tiawah (Claremore)Claremore (Claremore)Catoosa (Catoosa)Chelsea (Chelsea)Oologah-Talala (Oologah)Inola (Inola)Sequoyah (Claremore)Foyil (Foyil)Verdigris (Claremore)Washington County:Copan (Copan)Dewey (Dewey)Caney Valley (Ramona)Bartlesville (Bartlesville)Source: Oklahoma State Department of EducationSkills GapBuilding upon the educational attainment data presented previously, a skills gap analysis was completed. To achieve this analysis, the current level of educational achievement of Area residents was directly compared to the typical entry level of education required by newly created jobs projected to develop between 2018 and 2028. The chart “Skills Gap for Newly Created Jobs by 2028” follows the analysis and illustrates the educational gap identified.The Area is expected to experience a nearly 18 percentage point skill gap by 2028. Overall, to meet the projected developing needs of employers for newly created jobs, 67.6% of the workforce must possess an education above a high school diploma through postsecondary education including credentials, certificates or degrees. Current attainment at those levels is estimated at 51.0% -- 17.6 percentage points below anticipated requirements. Based upon the projected 2028 estimated population of 289,594, an estimated 50,969 additional Area residents must obtain some level of education above a high school diploma. This estimate is compounded when factoring in the anticipated need for individuals with even higher educational levels discussed below.The differential between current attainment and employer need at the Bachelor’s level is 3.9 percentage points. At the Graduate Degree or Higher level (Master’s, Doctoral, or Professional Degrees), need is estimated at 2.6% versus a current attainment rate of 6.0%. An examination of these basic figures, however, may be misleading. Three important factors substantially impact the estimated need for these degree levels:Variability of the data. The data utilized for this analysis are based upon projected need which is rooted in historical data. They are, by their very nature, estimates which can change as economic conditions and workforce demands evolve. As time progresses, it is probable that the need for higher degrees will increase.Degree misalignment. The projected shortfall of 3.9 percentage points at the Bachelor’s degree level will be compounded by a misalignment of degree specialty. The existence of a sufficient number of individuals possessing a Bachelor’s Degree fails to meet the needs of employers if those degrees do not provide the appropriate training necessary to fulfill job requirements. As an example, 10 individuals with degrees in management cannot meet the needs of employers requiring 10 engineers.Surplus of graduate degrees. It must be considered that the 3.4 percentage point “surplus” of individuals who already possess a Graduate Degree or higher may place downward pressure on the need for Bachelor’s Degrees as more highly trained job seekers accept positions below their educational attainment. While this may somewhat lessen the impact of the projected deficit and degree misalignment at the Bachelor’s degree level, it is also probable that these individuals may be drawn outside the Area or the state for employment better suited to their educational achievement rather than choosing to fill positions with lower educational requirements. Given all of these factors, overall, there is a significant unmet need for highly skilled, highly educated residents in the Area. Of particular consideration to meet these needs must be increased mentoring and engagement with students at all levels to enhance educational outcomes as well as improved communication to ensure those students 1) make informed decisions regarding their long-term educational plans and 2) align themselves with future workforce needs.9525471805Source: EMSI, 2018.3Source: EMSI, 2018.3\s42545213995Figure 7: Skills Gap for Newly Created Jobs by 2028, Northeast Oklahoma Workforce Development Area0Figure 7: Skills Gap for Newly Created Jobs by 2028, Northeast Oklahoma Workforce Development AreaCritical Occupations ListThe Oklahoma Office of Workforce Development (OOWD) continually monitors in-demand and critical occupations across the state. The annual state-wide Top 100 Critical Occupations List is longitudinal and focuses on job growth, acknowledging the need for extended time frames to achieve higher levels of education necessary to prepare potential job applicants for future employment. These jobs emphasize the state’s desire to 1) meet labor demands so that businesses and entrepreneurs involved in all industries can grow and prosper, and 2) Oklahoma citizens can maintain wealth generating employment. Occupations must meet several conditions to be included on the list. The methodology includes four primary criteria:Vital to one of Oklahoma’s five key or four regional/complementary ecosystems (discussed later in this report);Projected growth across a 10-year timeline: Eliminates all occupations with projected negative growth (overall job loss); Wealth generation: Eliminates occupations with median hourly earnings of less than $12 per hour; and,Educational attainment levels: Eliminates all occupations requiring “no formal education” unless the occupation reports competitive median hourly earnings greater than $20 per hour.To ensure representation of occupations from all educational levels, the list of remaining occupations is stratified by the typical entry-level educational requirement and the top ranked occupations are selected from each educational group.Due to the reduced number of jobs and population in each Workforce Development Area, Area Critical Occupation lists are limited to the top 50, though the methodology remains unchanged. Table 3 contains the most recent Top 50 Area Critical Occupations for Northeast Oklahoma Workforce Development Area as of December 2017. The list is ordered by median hourly earnings, greatest to least.Table 3: Northeast Oklahoma Workforce Development Area Critical Occupation List, Revised December 2017SOCDescription2017 Jobs2027

Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD) program uses data from a variety of sources including the unemployment insurance program, Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW), and administrative data from censuses and surveys to create models estimating worker commutes for employment. Figure 8, “Commuter Patterns, Northeast Oklahoma Workforce Development Area,” and Figure 9, “Inflow/Outflow Commuter Map” following the analysis summary, illustrate the commuter trends for residents of each Area county and for the Area as a whole. Data are quoted for 2015, the latest available from this source.According to the U.S. Census Bureau models:Approximately 60% more workers leave the Area than enter the Area for the purpose of employment. While 34,167 individuals enter the Area for employment, 55,061 exit. Most of this inflow and outflow represents workers moving to and from the southwest, specifically the Tulsa area. This outward migration of Area residents could be expected due to the significantly higher job density and broader employment opportunities in the core of the Tulsa metropolitan area.Approximately 53.6% of workers leaving the Area are between the ages of 30 and 54. Those individuals predominantly work in the “All Other Services” industry classification (52.9%) and earn between $1,251 and $3,333 per month (40.4%).Like outbound commuters, workers entering the Area are between 30 and 54 years of age (53.3%), work in the “All Other Services” industry (48.3%), but earn over $3,333 per month (42.9%).Overall, the Area retains approximately 50% of residents for employment. Residents commute outside the region to a wide variety of locations including Oklahoma City; Tulsa; Siloam Springs, Arkansas; Joplin, Missouri; and Coffeyville, Kansas among others. For those Area residents living along the northern or eastern Oklahoma state line, employment in the competing markets of neighboring states often offers broader options in job opportunities as well as higher earnings.Washington is the only county to retain more than 50% of employed residents. The On-The-Map model estimates that approximately 55.6% are both living and working in Washington County. Of the remaining 44.4%, most leave the Area for employment in Tulsa. Only 5.5% of Washington County workers work outside the county, but remain in the Area. Ottawa County ranks second, just below this mark at 49.5%. Like Washington, if workers leave the county for employment, most leave the Area, again, traveling to Tulsa.Nowata experiences the lowest percentage of employee retention in the county at 25.3%. Over 48% of Nowata workers leave the Area for employment, most frequently traveling to Tulsa or Coffeyville, Kansas for muting can no longer be strictly defined as physical relocation for employment. Data indicate that Northeast Oklahoma Workforce Development Area residents who commute outside the region to work do so not only in adjacent counties and states but across the nation. These data emphasize the growing trend of telework.Figure 8: Commuter Patterns, Northeast Oklahoma Workforce Development AreaSource: U.S. Census Bureau Longitudinal Employer Household Dynamics (LEHD); On-The-MapFigure 9: Inflow/Outflow Commuter Map, Northeast Oklahoma Workforce Development AreaSource: U.S. Census Bureau Longitudinal Employer Household Dynamics (LEHD); On-The-MapUnemployment RateThe term “unemployment” refers to individuals who are counted as participating in the labor force, but are not employed. This eliminates consideration of individuals who do not participate in the labor force such as individuals who are unable to work due to a disability, retirees, and individuals who may consciously choose not to work such as students. As a result, the unemployment rate cited focuses on individuals seeking, but not attaining, employment.For this analysis, the average unemployment rates for individuals living in Northeast Oklahoma Workforce Development Area were compared to the average unemployment rates for the state of Oklahoma as a whole, and the nation, over a span of 5 years from January 2013 to January 2018. Note that county unemployment data are only available as non-seasonally adjusted. For this reason, in order to provide a direct comparison, state and national data are also cited as non-seasonally adjusted.Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics, Local Area Unemployment Statistics (BLS LAUS)Figure 10: Unemployment in Northeast Oklahoma Workforce Development Area Versus State and NationSource: Bureau of Labor Statistics, Local Area Unemployment Statistics (BLS LAUS)Figure 10: Unemployment in Northeast Oklahoma Workforce Development Area Versus State and Nation\sBetween January 2013 and January 2018, with few exceptions, the unemployment rate in the Area consistently trended above the statewide average. Between April and June 2015, and again in April and May 2016, the gap narrowed to a minimal 0.1%; however, the Area rate still remained higher than the state.During the five-year span examined, the unemployment rate for the Area peaked at 6.4% in January 2013 and reached its lowest level of 4.1% in April 2015 and again in November 2017. The average unemployment rate for this time frame was 5.0%.Following an initial upswing in unemployment rates to 4.7% in January 2018, preliminary figures for February through May 2018 indicate the unemployment rate is trending downward, reaching a low of 4.0% in April and May 2018.Total Employment by CountyIn contrast to the unemployment rates discussed previously, this report section focuses on the number and percentage of individuals in the Northeast Oklahoma Workforce Development Area who were employed. Employment data are cited for May 2018. -9525542925Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics Local Area Unemployment Statistics00Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics Local Area Unemployment Statistics\s0285750Figure 11: Total Employment in Northeast Oklahoma Workforce Development Area by County, May 20180Figure 11: Total Employment in Northeast Oklahoma Workforce Development Area by County, May 2018In May 2018, 132,208 Area residents were in the workforce with 126,875 employed. This results in an employment rate of 96.0%, higher than the 95.0% employment rate reported in the previous Area briefing for the month of January 2017.Rogers County, reporting the largest overall population and the largest labor force, experienced the highest employment rate at 96.3%. Three additional counties in the Area reported slightly lower employment rates of 96.0% including Craig, Mayes, and Ottawa.Nowata, with the smallest overall population and labor force, reported the lowest employment rate at 95.2%. This county traditionally experiences a low employment rate, posting a 5-year average rate of 94.0% between January 2013 and December 2017.In comparison with the employment figures reported in the 2017 Area briefing, every county has increased the employment rate with the greatest increase of 1.6 percentage points in Nowata County. Washington County’s employment rate grew the least at 0.2 percentage points.Labor Force ParticipationAs indicated in the Unemployment Rate section of this report, not all citizens in the Area desire to work. Others have become discouraged after seeking, but not finding, employment over an extended period of time and dropped out of the labor force. The Labor Force Participation Rate (LFPR) measures the percentage of individuals who are employed or actively seeking work as compared with the overall population, age 16 and over. Figure 12 includes labor force participation rates for Area counties as well as for the State of Oklahoma. Only two Area counties exceed the state LFPR of 58.6% including Rogers County, reporting the highest ranking LFPR in the Area at 60.6% and Mayes County at 59.5%. Craig County reported the lowest LFPR in the Area at 50.1%Figure 12: Labor Force Participation Rates for Northeast Oklahoma Workforce Development Area, by CountySource: EMSI, 2018.3North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Employment Sector CodesSeveral of the analyses that follow are based upon data examined using NAICS employment sector codes. The following information is provided to enhance understanding of the framework of these analyses.NAICS is the standard utilized by federal agencies to classify businesses to collect, analyze, and publish statistical data related to the United States business economy. NAICS uses a 6-digit coding system which is structured hierarchically, beginning with 20 broad economic sectors. Over 1,000 industries are then sub-categorized within these 20 sectors. Each industry within a sector shares distinguishing economic activities. The most recent version of the classification system was implemented in 2017. Additional information is available at eos/www/naics. A list of the 20 NAICS sectors and the types of industries included can be found in Appendix B at the end of this document.Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) CodesAdditional analyses that follow are based upon data examined utilizing SOC occupational codes. The following information is provided to enhance understanding of the framework of these analyses.The SOC system is used by Federal statistical agencies to classify workers into occupational categories for the purpose of collecting, calculating, or disseminating data. All workers are classified into one of 840 detailed occupations according to their occupational definition. To facilitate classification, detailed occupations are combined to form 461 broad occupations, 97 minor groups, and 23 major groups. Detailed occupations in the SOC with similar job duties, and in some cases, skills, education, and/or training, are grouped together. Recently, the 2018 system for SOC was implemented, replacing the 2010 version. Additional information is available at soc/. A list of the 23 major groups comprising the 2018 SOC system, as well as examples of the 97 included minor groups can be found in Appendix C at the end of this Employment SectorsTable 4 summarizes the top 10 sectors in the Area in number of jobs available. Government is the top sector, employing approximately 23,166 residents, followed by Manufacturing which employs 10,731. The tenth-ranked sector in the Area is Finance and Insurance, which employs 2,581 individuals, only 9% as many as employed in the top-ranked Government sector.Since the April 2017 Northeast Workforce Development Area briefing, Manufacturing overtook Retail Trade as the second-ranked employing sector; however, it must be noted that the differential between the two sectors is only 202 jobs. The number of jobs reported in the Retail Trade and Manufacturing sectors each declined but Retail Trade decreased by a higher percentage. Of the top 10 employment sectors in the Area, only employment in the Government sector rose, with a negligible increase of 4 jobs. The largest decrease in jobs is found in the Construction sector, which declined by (-2,379) jobs (-33%) between 2016 and 2018.

A chart, titled “Average Earnings by Sector, Top 10 Earning Sectors in Northeast Oklahoma Workforce Development Area versus State of Oklahoma,” follows the analysis.The average earnings for seven of the top 10 sectors in the Area fall below the average earnings for the same sector statewide. The greatest disparity in earnings is found in the Utilities sector where Area earnings equate to only 80% of state earnings. The smallest differential in earnings is found in the Construction sector, a gap of 9%.Conversely, three sectors report annual average earnings per job above state averages. These include Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction; Information; and Manufacturing. The differential between Area and State earnings for these first two sectors are approximately 10%; earnings differentials for the Manufacturing sector are reported as less than 1%.Overall, on average across all top 10 sectors, statewide earnings are 9% greater than Area earnings.The Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction sector reports higher average earnings than any other sector in the Area at $135,848. This is approximately 11% above the statewide average for the same sector of $121,152.Despite ranking highest in overall numbers of individuals employed, Government fails to rank in the top 10 earnings for the Area. Earnings for this sector, ranked eleventh, average $51,204 annually, 17% below the statewide average of $59,882.The top three earning industries in the Area are all associated with the Manufacturing sector; however, job availability within these industries is severely limited at a combined total of 119 jobs located at 7 payrolled business locations. These include Tobacco Manufacturing (NAICS 312230); Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing for Measuring, Displaying, and Controlling Industrial Process Variables (NAICS 334513); and Alumina Refining and Primary Aluminum Production (NAICS 331313). Projected employment in these three industries declines by 2028 to fewer than 60 jobs.The industry exhibiting the highest average earnings with substantial occupational opportunity, ranked sixth, is Crude Petroleum Extraction (NAICS 211120). In 2018, 3,277 jobs were reported in this industry at 30 payrolled business locations with average annual earnings of $147,616.Figure 13: Average Earnings by Sector, Top 10 Earning Sectors in Northeast Oklahoma Workforce Development Area versus State of OklahomaSource: EMSI, 2018.3Average Earnings by CountyThe average annual earnings in the Northeast Oklahoma Workforce Development Area ($50,615) are below the average for the state of Oklahoma ($55,027); a gap of $4,412 or approximately 9%. The only county in the Area which reports earnings higher than the state average is Washington County at $59,741. Washington County is home to the city of Bartlesville, Oklahoma, the county seat and largest city in the area which boasts high employment in industries such as Crude Petroleum Extraction and Local Government (including elementary and secondary schools). Washington County reported 21,000 jobs in 2018.Delaware County exhibits the lowest average earnings at $38,850, approximately 71% of the state average and 77% of the Area earnings. Industry diversity is relatively narrow in this county, centered predominantly in Local Government, Food Service, and Healthcare. Overall job numbers are cited for 2018 as 9,860 at 828 payrolled business locations. Nearly one-half of Delaware County workers commute outside the Area for employment (48.1%), most notably to Tulsa County and Siloam Springs, Arkansas.257175608330Source: EMSI 2018.300Source: EMSI 2018.3\s256540214778Figure 14: 2018 Average Earnings by County, State and Northeast Oklahoma Workforce Development AreaFigure 14: 2018 Average Earnings by County, State and Northeast Oklahoma Workforce Development AreaTop Occupations by Number of JobsTable 5, following this summary, illustrates the prevalence of jobs in the Northeast Oklahoma Workforce Development Area. The top 10 occupations represent 18,264 jobs; 19.7% of the total jobs reported in the Area.The most prevalent job in the Area is Cashiers. In 2018, 2,668 jobs were reported in this classification with median hourly earnings of $9.15. Retail Salespersons is the second ranked occupation with 2,354 jobs and median hourly earnings of $10.79.Eight of the top 10 occupations require the completion of a high school diploma or less in conjunction with short-term on-the-job training. The occupation of General and Operations Manager, accounting for 1,393 jobs, requires the minimum completion of a Bachelor’s degree while Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks must complete some college credits without earning a degree. The greatest potential for growth is found in the fourth-ranked occupation of Combined Food Preparation and Serving Workers, Including Fast Food with an anticipated growth rate of 19.3% by 2028, adding 381 new jobs to the economy in the Area. General and Operations Managers, ranked eighth in the number of jobs reported, will grow at a rate of 15.6%; however, due to lower overall employment in this occupational category, this results in fewer new jobs created (+217).While these high-employment occupations generally experience relatively low earnings, General and Operations Managers report high median earnings of $33.49 per hour, though, as indicated previously, it does require the completion of a Bachelor’s degree. At half those earnings – $16.47 per hour – the occupation of Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks ranks second. Again, this occupation requires a higher level of educational attainment than the lower-earning job classifications.In contrast to the General and Operations Manager and the Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks, three occupations – Cashiers; Combined Food Preparation and Serving Workers, Including Fast Food; and Waiters and Waitresses earn less than $10 per hour. Food service positions rank lowest of the top 10 with median hourly earnings of $8.52.Table 5: Top Occupations by Number of Jobs in the Northeast Oklahoma Workforce Development AreaOccupation2018 Jobs2028 JobsChangeMedian Hourly EarningsEducation or Experience LevelCashiers2,6682,821153$9.15Short-term on-the-job trainingRetail Sales2,3542,687333$10.79Short-term on-the-job trainingLaborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand2,0752,307232$11.72Short-term on-the-job trainingCombined Food Preparation and Serving Workers, Including Fast Food1,9692,350381$8.52Short-term on-the-job trainingSecretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive1,8171,83518$12.76Short-term on-the-job trainingOffice Clerks, General1,7601,905145$11.95Short-term on-the-job trainingWaiters and Waitresses1,6011,713112$9.19Short-term on-the-job trainingGeneral and Operations Managers1,3931,610217$33.49Bachelor’s degreeBookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks1,3541,42167$16.47Some collegeStock Clerks and Order Fillers1,2711,36998$10.26Short-term on-the-job trainingSource: EMSI, 2018.3Top Paying Occupational GroupsFor this analysis, individual occupations are aggregated and reported by Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) major group. The table that follows this summary highlights the top paying occupational groups by median hourly earnings.The top 10 occupational groups include 27,705 individual jobs; 29.9% of the total jobs reported in the Area.One occupational group, Life, Physical, and Social Science Occupations, exceeds the state median hour earnings, $29.03 versus $26.46, respectively, a differential of approximately 9%. Unfortunately, this group also offers the fewest job opportunities with 584 reported in 2018.Management Occupations earn the highest median hourly wage in the Area at $38.05; however, this is still 8% below the Oklahoma statewide median hourly earnings for the same occupational group. The fifth-ranked Legal Occupations offers competitive median earnings at $28.13 per hour, but only 588 jobs are available, significantly fewer than most of the other top 10 occupations.Construction and Extraction Occupations are ranked 10th in the Area with median hourly earnings of $17.23. This salary is 9% below the state average and less than one-half the earnings of the top-ranked Management Occupations.The top three occupational groups in the Area, ordered by the number of jobs represented, are Office and Administrative Support Occupations (14,079 jobs), Food Preparation and Serving Related Occupations (8,947 jobs) and Sales and Related Occupations (8,543). While these three major groups represent over 31,000 jobs and 34% of the total jobs in the Area, none are included in this list due to low median earnings ranging from $9.10 to $13.65 per hour. Of the 23 defined major occupational groups, these rank 17th, 23rd, and 20th, respectively in median hourly earnings.Table 6: Top 10 Highest Paying Occupational Groups in the Northeast Oklahoma Workforce Development AreaSOC Code GroupOccupation Group2018 JobsRegional Median Hourly EarningsState Median Hourly Earnings11-0000Management Occupations4,719$35.33$38.0517-0000Architecture and Engineering Occupations1,194$34.65$35.0815-0000Computer and Mathematical Occupations1,625$31.18$31.2419-0000Life, Physical, and Social Science Occupations584$29.03$26.4623-0000Legal Occupations588$28.13$30.0513-0000Business and Financial Operations Occupations3,565$27.35$28.3829-0000Healthcare Practitioners and Technical Occupations4,494$24.17$26.6249-0000Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Occupations4,310$18.18$19.8621-0000Community and Social Service Occupations2,187$18.01$18.8147-0000Construction and Extraction Occupations4,438$17.23$18.76Source: EMSI, 2018.3Ecosystems Impact on Occupations and SalariesOklahoma has identified five key, in demand, industry clusters known as “ecosystems” which provide the state with a competitive advantage in a global economy. They exhibit significant potential for employment growth and provide wealth generating employment opportunities. The five key ecosystems’ demand industries produce or provide similar goods and services and therefore have similar needs in workforce, infrastructure, and economic development policy. These ecosystems include Aerospace and Defense, Agriculture and Biosciences, Energy, Information and Finance, and Transportation and Distribution. In addition to the five statewide ecosystems, four localized complementary ecosystems important to regional economies have been identified, including Construction, Education, Health Care, and Manufacturing. A summary table of ecosystem data pertinent to the Area is provided for ease of ecosystem comparison, followed by an analysis of each individual key and complementary ecosystem.

While recognized as a regional complementary ecosystem, components of the Manufacturing sector are consistently embedded throughout several key and complementary ecosystems and included in those analyses. For example, it is impossible to produce aircraft necessary for the Aerospace and Defense Ecosystem without acknowledging the extensive role manufacturing plays in that process. Despite this duplication, it is interesting and broadens the base of knowledge about the sector to focus an analysis specifically on manufacturing-related occupations. The Manufacturing regional complementary ecosystem accounted for approximately 6,640 jobs in 2018, with average earnings per job of $73,523, the second highest average earnings for any ecosystem, second only to the Energy Ecosystem. Like the Education Ecosystem, the Manufacturing Ecosystem is expected to decline in employment by 2028. Only 6,220 jobs are predicted to exist in 2028, a loss of (-420) or (-6.3%). The list below, arranged in alphabetical order by occupation, highlights a few of the occupations employed by industries within the Manufacturing regional complementary ecosystem in the Area.
