Manufacturing Earnings in BEA Component Economic Areas, 1996

摘要

Among BEA component economic areas (CEA's), the CEA's with the highest average manufacturing earnings per job are those that have a greater proportion of manufacturing jobs, have a large, well-educated workforce, and have higher concentrations of industry clustering. The results from a regression analysis show that industry mix is the most important factor associated with average manufacturing earnings per job and that the education level of the workforce and the extent of industry clustering are also significant.
