Description
The purpose of this study is to look at the effects that industry concentration has on the growth of local areas. People will go where the jobs are so by evaluating employment data one can also evaluate the growth of an area. Common economic basis calculations and indices were used to provide useful information about characteristics of growth, competitiveness, and concentrations of local industries compared to the national level. The key results show the complex nature of urban and regional development exemplified by changes in employment and that access to more and complex data will be necessary to gain a greater understanding of urban growth.
