4. What Is The Value Of An Industry Sector Analysis?  Provides baseline regional economic information necessary for development of a workforce or economic development strategy:  Existing sources of industry employment  Recent trends in industry jobs  Future forecasts of demand by industry sector  An industry sector analysis is a first step needed to address further related information needs such as:  Key regional occupations  High wage high growth occupations  Skill sets

5. How Can the DLEG Industry Sector Profiles Be Used?  Will help answer a number of questions on your regional labor market:  How do local job trends compare with Michigan and U.S. patterns?  What broad sectors contribute an unusually high share of regional jobs?  What are the key local core sectors and what has been the recent job and wage performance in those sectors?  What industries have added and lost jobs locally?  What are the regional “developing” and “competitive-advantage” industries?
