SECTION 4: MARKET ANALYSIS KENOSHA’S ECONOMY JOB TRENDS Kenosha County has fared relatively well in the current recession. In 2005, employment in all industries reached 55,591 before falling in each of the following four years. In 2010, the number of jobs grew by 1,198 to reach 53,150. Job losses in the manufacturing sector made the largest contribution to the overall decline – see Figure 4-3 and Table 4-9. Between 2005 and 2010, the number of manufacturing jobs in Kenosha County decreased by 3,663. The closing of the Chrysler Engine Plant was among the contributors to the loss of jobs in this sector. Construction also accounted for a significant share of the lost jobs. On the positive side, the Health Care & Social Assistance industry has steadily added jobs, while Education Services, Retail Trade, and Accommodation & Food Services have been stable sectors. 13000 11000 9000 7000 5000 3000 1000 Employment Trends in Five Largest Industries in Kenosha County 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 Health Care & Social Assistance Education Services Retail Trade Manufacturing Accommodation & Food Services Figure 4-3: Employment Trends in Five Largest Industries in Kenosha County Table 4-9: gAverage yMonthly p yEmployment in Kenosha yCounty y by yIndustry NAICS Industry 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 All Industries 50,720 51,602 52,961 55,591 54,973 11 Ag Forestry Fishing & Hunting S S S S S 21 Mining Quarrying & Oil & Gas Ext S S S S S 22 Utilities 349 355 355 351 350 23 Construction 2,197 2,298 2,314 2,526 2,484 31-33 Manufacturing 10,829 10,507 10,231 10,464 9,887 42 Whls Trade 1,988 2,018 2,344 2,102 2,338 44-45 Retail Trade 6,415 6,425 6,301 6,146 6,518 48-49 Transportation & Warehousing 1,473 1,505 1,657 1,878 1,922 51 Information S S S S 427 52 Finance & Insurance 1,027 1,008 1,017 1,058 1,145 53 Real Estate & Rental & Leasing 464 553 538 568 592 54 Professional & Technical Services 922 984 924 1,040 1,052 55 Mgt Of Companies & Enterprises 412 429 699 693 666 56 Admin & Waste Services 1,552 1,518 1,804 3,708 3,192 61 Education Services 5,561 5,787 5,961 5,954 5,867 62 Health Care & Social Assistance 6,169 6,775 6,947 7,128 7,231 71 Arts Entertainment & Recreation 1,043 1,055 1,148 1,124 1,034 72 Accommodation & Food Services 5,140 5,082 5,245 5,391 5,254 81 Other Services Exc Public Admin 1,781 1,833 1,840 1,801 1,831 92 Public Admin 2,802 2,883 3,045 3,045 3,002 99 Unclassified S S S S S 54,656 54,615 51,952 53,150 S S S S S S S S 345 324 316 303 2,098 1,857 1,614 1,566 9,317 8,597 6,954 6,801 2,350 2,492 2,190 2,306 6,624 6,532 6,681 6,807 1,894 1,774 1,649 1,746 407 S S 288 1,056 1,053 1,018 961 604 539 468 478 1,062 1,089 1,105 1,104 773 681 785 986 3,300 4,015 3,238 3,887 5,953 6,095 6,202 6,301 7,394 7,657 7,963 8,148 1,165 1,119 1,085 964 5,143 5,208 5,229 5,264 1,840 1,746 1,669 1,612 3,130 3,228 3,232 3,404 0 S S 8 S=Suppressed Data Source: Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development Bureau of Workforce Training - Labor Market Information http://WORKnet.Wisconsin.gov 68 CITY OF KENOSHA, WISCONSIN KENOSHA DOWNTOWN STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN: STATE OF THE DOWNTOWN MARKET ANALYSIS
PLACE OF WORK Nearly two out of five workers who live in the City of Kenosha commute to jobs outside the County. For workers living in Kenosha County but outside of the City, 56.4% work outside the County. The data in Table 4-10 indicate that more Kenosha County workers are more likely to commute to Illinois than to Racine County or other Wisconsin counties north and west of Kenosha County. While this data reveals a strength of the Kenosha location— access to regional employment opportunities— it also suggests a drawback for the Downtown. MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION The large majority, 93%, of Kenosha workers get to work by driving alone or carpooling. Table 4-11 presents a breakdown of means of transportation. Only 1.4% of workers living in the County use public transportation. Biking and walking to work is more common among workers who live in the City, representing 2.3% of workers. A more vital Downtown Kenosha has the potential to shift more workers away from driving to work. In their daily lives, nearly 47% of workers in Kenosha County are commuting to a job outside the county. Downtown stores, restaurants, and entertainment venues are less likely to be a part of the day-to-day life of workers travelling in other directions to their jobs.
