2013
2020
The total population increased by 5 percent between and The major contributor to that expansion was natural increase (births minus deaths over that span of time) with a net growth of over 2,200 persons.
Data on domestic migration (the difference between the number of people moving into the county versus moving out) show that out-migration outpaced in-migration by more than 500 people. On the other hand, international migration had a net increase of 1,300, indicating that the county experienced an influx of new people from outside the U.S.

Approximately 50.7 percent of the population was female in 2000 (20,949 people) and that percentage remained about the same in What did change is the distribution of people across the various age categories. A larger share of people shifted into the higher age groupings over the 2000 to 2013 time period.
In particular, people 60 and over swelled from 7.2% to 9.4% for males and from 10.3% to 11.5% for females between 2000 and Individuals of prime working age years old -- dipped from 22.2% to 19.8% for males and from 21.1% to 18.8% for females. Also declining were the percentage of residents under 20 years of age.

Demography
Educational attainment
Jackson County had a 5 percentage point increase between 2000 and 2013 in the proportion of adults (25 and older) with an associate’s, bachelor’s, or graduate degree.
The proportion of adults 25 years of age and older with a high school education or more improved from 80 percent in 2000 to 86 percent by Those with only a high school degree remained at the 47 percent level in both 2000 and 2013.
Adults with an associate’s degree grew by 2 percentage points from 2000 to 2013 (5 percent versus 7 percent), while the proportion with a college degree or more increased from 11 percent to 14 percent over that same time period. While educational attainment is improving in Jackson County, the number of adults with associate’s degrees or higher continues to lag behind the Indiana rate of 32 percent.

13. Demography
Takeaways
The population of Jackson County has experienced growth since 2000 and that growth has been fueled largely by two factors: natural increase and international migration. These two factors compensated for the loss of population due to net migration (more people who moved out of the county for other counties in Indiana or other U.S. locations than moved into the county).
In examining the composition of Jackson County, one finds that a larger share of the population is now 50 years of age and over. As such, the number of men and women of prime working age (20-29, and 40-49) is slowly declining. Furthermore, the county is becoming more diverse as a result of the growth of the Hispanic population.
The educational attainment of adults 25 and over has improved since 2000, but the
percentage of adults with a high school education remains sizable (at 47 percent). Taking time to assess whether local economic development opportunities might be impeded by the presence of a sizable number of adults with a terminal high school degree may be worthy of attention. While one in five adult residents of the county have an associate’s, bachelor’s or higher degree, this figure is about 11 percent below the figure for the state of Indiana as a whole.
Jackson County may wish to assess the workforce skills of workers with a high school education only. Enhancing their skills so that they match the needs of local businesses and industries may be a worthy investment.

28. Economy
Real median income has undergone some dramatic swings since 2000, but recent trends suggest that things are improving. So too are the poverty rates for adults and children under 18 years of age. While these poverty rates have dipped since 2011, they remain considerably higher than was the case in Fluctuations in real median income experienced between 2000 and 2013 may be tied to employment changes in various industries in the county during that time period. For example, gains have occurred in some industries paying average earnings of $50,000 or more between 2000 and At the same time, several industries that have experienced solid job growth are providing employees with average earnings of under $35,000. No doubt, the ability of the county to capture good paying jobs will depend on the availability of a well- trained and educated workforce, something that may be challenging in light of the smaller percentage of adults in the county with an associate’s degree or higher.
Takeaways
Growth in the number of establishments in Jackson County occurred primarily in businesses with fewer than 10 employees (the self-employed and Stage 1 enterprises), components of the local economy that are often overlooked but deserve closer attention by local leaders.
Jackson County might consider focusing on economic development efforts that seek to strengthen high-growth Stage 1 and 2 firms since they employ several people and capture sizable sales. At the same time, sales associated with Stage 3 firms have expanded at an impressive pace since 2000, but determining the factors that may have contributed to the loss of Stage 3 establishments in the county is worthy of attention.

37. Takeaways Labor market
Approximately 50 percent of Jackson County’s residents in the workforce are gainfully employed outside of the county. This represents a tremendous loss of human talent that is unavailable to contribute to the social and economic vitality of the county. It may be worthwhile for local leaders and industries to determine the human capital attributes of workers who commute to jobs outside the county. By so doing, they could be positioned to determine how best to reduce the leakage of educated and skilled workers to surrounding counties by spurring the growth of good paying jobs that will keep these workers in their home county.
The laborshed and commuteshed data offer solid evidence of the value of pursuing economic and workforce development strategies on a regional (multi-county) basis.
The Great Recession that impacted the U.S. economy between 2007 and 2009 took a major toll on the Jackson County’s unemployment rate. While the rate was quite low in 2000, it skyrocketed to over 11 percent by Recent figures make clear that the unemployment rate has improved significantly since 2010.
Despite the modest growth in the population over the past decade or more, the county’s labor force has decreased in size since While it is difficult to pinpoint the exact reason for the drop in the county’s labor force, two possible explanations are as follows: First, an increasing number of unemployed individuals may be discouraged workers who have given up trying to find a job, or second, more people in the workforce have opted to retire and their positions have been eliminated or left unfilled.

38. Notes
OTM (On the Map): OTM, a product of LEHD program, is used in the county snapshot report to develop commuting patterns for a geography from two perspectives: place of residence and place of work. At the highly detailed level of census blocks, some of the data are synthetic to maintain confidentiality of the worker. However, for larger regions mapped at the county level, the commuteshed and laborshed data are fairly reasonable.
OTM includes jobs for a worker employed in the reference as well as previous quarter. Hence, job counts are based on two consecutive quarters (six months) measured at the “beginning of a quarter.” OTM data can differ from commuting patterns developed from state annual income tax returns, which asks a question about “county of residence” and “county of work” on January 1 of the tax-year. OTM can also differ from American Community Survey data, which is based on a sample survey of the resident population.
SAIPE (Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates): SAIPE is a U.S. Census Bureau program that provides annual data estimates of income and poverty statistics at various geographic levels. The estimates are used in the administration of federal and state assistance programs. SAIPE utilizes statistical models to estimate data from sample surveys, census enumerations, and administrative records.
LAUS (Local Area Unemployment Statistics): LAUS is a U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) program that provides monthly and annual labor force, employment and unemployment data by place of residence at various geographic levels. LAUS utilizes statistical models to estimate data values based on household surveys and employer reports. These estimates are updated annually. Annual county- level LAUS estimates do not include seasonal adjustments.
LEHD (Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics): LEHD is a partnership between U.S. Census Bureau and State Department of Workforce Development (DWD) to provide labor market and journey to work data at various geographic levels. LEHD uses Unemployment Insurance earnings data and Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages from DWDs and census administrative records related to individuals and businesses.
NETS (National Establishment Time Series): NETS is an establishment-level database, not a company-level database. This means that each entry is a different physical location, and company-level information must be created by adding the separate establishment components.
