  1. Highlights of Analysis of Employment and Labor Force Data for the Southeastern Massachusetts Region Presentation to the Southeastern MA Workforce Development Conference by Mt. Auburn Associates January 15, 2003

  2. Purpose of the Project • Collaborative Programs/Projects • Shared Organizational Capacity • Joint Advocacy Efforts

  3. Purpose of the Analysis • Common/complementary industry characteristics • Common/complementary workforce characteristics • Spatial relationships across boundaries that facilitate joint activity • Secondary analysis to sharpen primary research

  4. Selected Findings • Blurring of distinct employment patterns as jobs have suburbanized • Significant cross-border commuting indicated by regional commuting patterns • Mobility problems for workers without vehicles indicated by low use of public transportation

  5. Selected Findings • Increasing employment concentrations and net worker inflows along cross-cutting highway corridors • Increasing service and trade sector domination across the region • Similar primary industry structures, with the exception of manufacturing and financial services

  6. Selected Findings • Continued concentration of service and manufacturing employment in a few employment centers, but with manufacturing employment becoming more dispersed; more even distribution of trade employment • Clustering of special needs populations in sets of adjacent and nearby communities, often cutting across WIA boundaries
