The CTS-2 analysis used five types of employment:El — Manufacturing and EngineeringE2— Public Utilities and TransportE3 — Retail and WholesaleE4— Import Export Banks and FinanceE5— Agriculture, Services, Construction, Government and Education.Projections of the number of jobs in each type of employment are shown in Table4.5 for each year.4.5(1986 to 2001)Employment TypeE1E2 -E3E4E5TOTAL1986No9472252283928822674%35891533100Number of Jobs (000)1991 1996No. % No.9472462374549362820349816331009092672485081 0452977%319817351002007No.8572852545571 1463099%28981837100Distribution of Employment4.2.13 In allocating employment by area, different methods were used for eachemployment type. The location of manufacturing and engineering employment (E1)was projected assuming that it will be in balance with the number of manufacturingworkers within each defined area. The E2 employment is located according to thenumber of transport interchanges and population. The E3 and E5 employmentsaccount for nearly half the total number of jobs; and these were projected assumingthat the 1986 ratios of jobs to population for each group remain unchanged. Theallocation of the growth of E4 jobs took account of the location of increased growthin office space in major office centres, but 15 percent of the growth was allocatedamong the new towns. The distribution of total employment by area is shown inTable 4.6 for the three design years, together with the 1981 and 1986 figures toindicate the recent trends. Trends by region are shown in Figure 4.3.58
