SOCIO-ECONOMIC DATA FOR WNDD Presentation by: Tom Harris and Buddy Borden Buddy Borden

Understanding WNDD Regional Strengths and Weaknesses Understanding Strengths and Weaknesses was a crucial piece of a successful region as defined in Module 2 in March in Carson City. (SET Facilitators Guidebook Page 2.29).

QUESTIONS TO BE DISCUSSED TODAY What are the current socio-economic conditions in WNDD? What components of the WNDD demographics and economy are growing or declining? What options exist for improving demographics and economic conditions in WNDD, and what options should we pursue first?

Silicon Valley Index Measures for Success Successful region can measures its success by: 1.Population Change 2.Educational Attainment 3.Employment 4.Occupational Skills (Source for 1 to 3: Index of Silicon Valley, Silicon Valley Community Foundation/Joint Venture Silicon Valley Network: San Jose, CA, 2011: P. 14.

Group Exercise 1.What are the WNDD Region’s Strengths from a Demographic Perspective 2.What are the WNDD Region’s Weaknesses from a Demographic Perspective

Two Economic Development Procedures Export Enhancement Import Substitution

Export Enhancement Export Enhancement seeks to find economic sectors which WNDD has had relative success in attracting and nurturing during the past

Import Substitution Import Substitution seeks to reduce money outflows from WNDD by creating economic development opportunities to fill the demands for goods and services by WNDD businesses and institutions

Types of Import Substitution GAPS are demands for goods and services by WNDD industries and institutions purchased outside the WNDD Area because they are not produced locally. These are called Non- Competitive Imports. DISCONTECTS are demands for goods and services by WNDD industries and institutions purchased outside the WNDD Area but are produced locally. These are called Competitive Imports.

CRITERIA FOR SELECTING EXPORT ENHANCEMENT SECTORS IN WNDD Criteria used for selection follows data supplied by the Southern Rural Development Center: 1.Location Quotients for Jobs in Hobs in Percentage Change in Jobs from 2006 to Average Earnings for 2011

CALCULATION OF LOCATION QUOTIENT LQ i = LEI i / TLE NEI i / TNE Where: LEI j = Local Employment Industry i TLE = Total Local Employment NEI j = National Employment Industry i TNE = Total National Employment
