Resumen
Descripción
A modified version of shift-share analysis
is used to examine spatial, temporal and compositional
trends in employment growth in the Northeastern
United States during the 1970s. The
analysis is presented for subregions, states and
metropolitan and nonmetropolitan counties. Secondary
data compiled by the Department of Commerce,
Bureau of Economic Analysis is used.
Employment growth in the Northeast, though
positive overall, did not keep pace with that of
the nation. While the distribution of employment
among industries was very similar in the Northeast
and the United States, the performance of
these industries was not. The sane was true for
the three major subregions that comprise the
Northeast. Nonmetropolitan counties outperformed
their metropolitan counterparts in employment
growth during the decade, with the most rural
county types shewing the greatest percentage employment growth.
