5.3. Results of the study 5.3.1. Shift – Share Analysis Employment changes in U.S The U.S experienced an overall employment growth of 4.3 percent from 2001 to 2005 and an average employment decline of roughly 4 percent over the four sectors analyzed during this time period (Bureau of Economic Analysis, 2007). Forestry, Fishing and related activities was the second weakest sector analyzed. The industry lost more than 10,300 jobs, which can be attributed to a 1 percent decline. Manufacturing was the weakest sector analyzed. The country lost 2,133,700 jobs in this sector during these five years, which represents a 12.6 percent employment decline. Mining grew 1.06 percent with the creation of 8,600 jobs. Construction was the strongest sector. This industry created 999,000 new jobs during the five years analyzed, growing approximately 10 percent. Aransas/Calhoun Region For Aransas/Calhoun Region, the national share component contributed to an expected loss of 355 jobs. The mix of industries within this area increased by 95 jobs and the competitive share/regional shift was responsible for an expected loss of 613 jobs (Figure 9). The sum of these three components equals to an overall decrease of 873 jobs in the four sectors studied, which translates to an employment decline of 9.74 percent (Table 5-5). Figure 5-9.

This sector experienced a loss of 83 jobs, which can be translated to a negative growth rate of 5 percent (Figure 5-11). Table 5-5 shows that this decline is attributed to both the national and the competitive share components. Figure 5-10. Employment Percentage Change by Sector. Aransas and Calhoun, 2001-2005 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% -5% -10% -15% -20% -25% Fishing, and related activities Mining Construction 59 Manufacturing Manufacturing. This was the weakest industry analyzed. This sector lost 875 jobs, which can be translated into a 21 percent decrease (Figure 5-11). All three components negatively impacted this sector (Table 5-5). Construction. This sector was responsible for the creation of 32 new jobs in the two-county region. This is attributed to a 1 percent employment increase (Figure 5-11). Both the national and the competitive share decreased in the expected employment in construction; however, the industry mix component counteracted this, thus contributing to a positive employment growth rate (Table 5-5).
