Introduction In November 2015, Jonas Arjes, Executive Director of the Taney County Partnership (TCP) contacted the Institute for Decision Making (IDM) requesting that IDM update the targeted industry analysis IDM completed for TCP in 2013. Since there had been little changes to many of Taney County’s key economic development assets – available site and buildings, infrastructure, transportation network and regional industry base – and many Taney County businesses were experiencing workforce challenges, the TCP and IDM discussed whether there was a need to conduct a full targeted industry analysis. TCP and IDM agreed in July 2016 the most effective and efficient approach would be for IDM to update the “Analysis of the Taney County Labor Market Area” section of the 2013 Targeting Report completed by IDM to determine if Taney County’s labor market area had changed. IDM agreed to update the labor market analysis and also validate TCP’s existing industry targets based on the results of the labor market analysis. IDM has previously worked with TCP and its partners in the development of a strategic plan for the organization, and has continued to provide TCP with technical assistance as it implemented economic development efforts for Taney County. As a part of the update of the Taney County Labor Market Area, IDM analyzed the zip codes of where Taney County workers live in order to define the laborshed area. IDM then analyzed the region’s population trends and labor force trends. Next, IDM analyzed occupational employment and labor clusters in the Taney County area. After completing the analysis of the Labor Market Area, IDM validated TCP’s industry targets and updated the industry profiles for each of the targeted industries. The Institute for Decision Making is the community economic development group in the Business and Community Services Division of the College of Business Administration at the University of Northern Iowa (UNI). No portion of this report may be reproduced or used in any manner without the prior written consent of IDM and the Taney County Partnership.

Analysis of the Taney County Labor Market Area Defining the Taney County Labor Market Area As explained in the 2013 report prepared by IDM, understanding a community’s and its broader region’s labor force is a critical part of the industry targeting process. Area Development magazine has surveyed corporate executives and site selection consultants for 30 years, asking them to rate site selection factors in terms of importance. Over these 30 years they have found that the importance of skilled labor has increased, the concern about labor costs has decreased in importance, while training programs have increased in importance. Further, as skilled labor has increased in importance, so has the emphasis on quality of life in order to attract that labor. The following sections of this report include IDM’s analysis of the region’s workforce and how that potential workforce may match with the labor needs of potential targeted industries. The first step IDM undertook was determining the geography of Taney County’s labor market area, often called a laborshed area. To do this, IDM utilized data from the Local Employment Dynamics (LED) Program, which is a partnership between the U.S. Census Bureau and state workforce agencies. Map 1 (Exhibit A) shows the primary zip codes of where Taney County workers live. The analysis of the LED data showed that 79.8% of Taney County’s workers come from within Taney County and the six additional counties shown in Figure 1. Ozark County and Carroll County, Arkansas, not shown below, are also included in the labor market region because of their close proximity to Taney County, although they each contributed less than one percent of Taney County’s workforce. The laborshed area in this 2016 update includes Barry County which now represents 1.3 percent of Taney County’s workforce, but did not contribute significantly to the workforce in 2013. When comparing the current laborshed area to the 2013 laborshed area, it should be noted that 20.2 percent of workers come from “all other counties” currently, whereas 16.2 percent of workers came from “all other counties” in 2013. This is simply due to a redistribution of where workers are coming from. For example, fewer workers are coming from Stone County but more are coming from Barry County now as compared to 2013.

Population Trends After the revised geography of the Taney County labor market area was determined, IDM examined the basic demographics and population trends for the area. Figure 2 shows steady growth in total population for the nine counties that make up Taney County’s labor market area. From 2000 to 2015 the labor market area’s total population grew by 99,793 residents for a change of 20.8 percent. The region has grown 2.0 percent in the three years since IDM completed the first report. A growing population typically indicates a growing labor force and is a positive sign for businesses considering a region for locating a company. The region’s population is projected to continue to grow through 2021. Figure 2 - Taney County Labor Market Area Population – 2000 to 2015 and Projected 2021

IDM divided the population into five age groups as they relate to analysis of the potential labor force. Figure 3 shows the region’s age groupings as a percent of total population from 2000 and projected to 2021. The under 18 “Future Workforce” segment is shrinking as a percentage of total population, as are the “New Entries” and “Current Workforce” segments. The “preRetirees” and “Retirees” segments both have grown as a percentage of the total population, reflecting the aging population of the region. Figure 3 - Region Age Groupings as a Percent of Total Population, 2000-2021

During the time period between 2000 and 2015, each of the five age groups did grow in population, however the growth was not even across the five age groups (see Figure 4). The “Pre-Retirees” age group of people age 55-64 grew 58.3 percent between 2000 and 2015 and the “Retirees” age group of people 65 and older grew 48.6% during this time period. Once again, this reflects the overall demographic shifts taking place in the U.S., but some of this growth is likely due to retired and semi-retired individuals moving into the region.

Labor Force Trends The size of the labor force in the Taney County labor market area has grown over the last 10 years. The labor force is considered to be made up of individuals that are currently employed and individuals who are unemployed and have actively sought employment over the previous four weeks. As of July 2016, the region’s resident labor force was 295,537 individuals (282,082 employed individuals and 13,155 unemployed individuals). In July of 2006, the region’s labor force size was 288,951 individuals (277,134 employed individuals and 11,817 unemployed individuals). Figure 5 shows the region’s labor force trends from January 2006 through July 2016. Over this period of time, the region’s labor force peaked at 295,647 in June 2016 and had a low of 270,453 in January 2006. The seasonal dynamic in the Taney County labor market is tied to the industry structure of the region’s economic base. The region’s unemployment rate trends higher during the months of January, February and March which also reflects the seasonal employment of accommodation and food service workers as well as construction workers.

Demographic Characteristics of Workforce In addition to providing data on the commute of industry workers, the Local Employment Dynamics (LED) Program provides significant data on the demographic characteristics of workers. It should be pointed out that the LED data is generated by the linking of unemployment insurance data and the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) data from the state workforce agencies with a number of Census Bureau data sets. Due to the data sources used there are slight differences in the LED employment numbers for the region compared to BLS employment data for the region. Figure 6 shows that there have been some slight shifts in the gender composition of the workforce employed by industries in the Taney County labor market area. From 2006 through the end of 2008, which was the start of the “Great Recession�, the percent of males and females in the workforce were fairly similar with seasonal fluctuations impacted if there were more males or females working. Between 2008 and 2012 there were more female workers than male workers. The pattern since 2012 is similar to what occurred from 2006 to 2008. In the most recent quarter available, 4th quarter 2015, there were 130,387 male workers (50.1 percent) and 129,837 female workers (49.9 percent). In the earliest quarter shown, 1st quarter 2006, the labor market area had 117,892 male workers (50.0 percent) and 117,828 female workers (50.0 percent).

The LED data breaks workers into seven different age groups with the youngest being workers age 14 to 18 and the oldest being workers 65 and older. Over the past decade there have been some shifts in the age of workers in the Taney County labor market area from 2006 to 2015. Figure 7 illustrates the movement of these trends. In the 1st quarter 2006, the group that had the most workers was the 35 to 44 age group with 22.8 percent of the workers. In the 4th quarter 2015, the largest group was the 25 to 34 age group with 21.6 percent. The percent of older workers in the workforce has increased in recent years while the percent of younger workers has decreased. In 4th quarter 2015, workers age 55 to 64 represented 15.9 percent of the workforce, which is 3.2 percent higher compared to the 1st quarter 2006, and workers 65 and older represented 5.6 percent which is 2.0 percent higher than in the 1st quarter 2006.

Analysis of Occupational Employment The talents and skills of the individuals in a community or region’s workforce will significantly impact the types of employers who could be attracted to that community or region. Therefore, an essential step in the analysis of the Taney County labor market area was to examine the types of occupations held by workers in the region. The type of occupations and numbers of individuals employed in those occupations provide an indication of the labor skills that could potentially be available to expanding employers in Taney County or new employers to Taney County. Figure 8 breaks out the occupational employment in Taney County and in the larger labor market area into 20 broad occupational groups. Taney County’s workforce is overwhelmingly employed in service-related occupations. Nearly 20 percent (19.6 percent) of the workers in Taney County are employed in food preparation and serving related occupations. Another 18.0 percent of workers are employed in sales and related occupations and 14.6 percent of workers are employed in office and administrative support occupations. The broader labor market area is also dominated by service-related occupations. Office and administrative support occupations account for 16.5 percent of the jobs followed by sales and related occupations (11.9 percent) and food preparation and serving related occupations (10.8 percent). However, the broader labor market area does have higher percentages of transportation and material moving jobs and production jobs than Taney County.

Analysis of Occupations by Labor Clusters It is important to recognize that the types of employers within a community or region dictate the types of occupations held by the community’s or region’s workforce. With Taney County’s industry base being so heavily focused on tourism-related industries, it is understandable that there is a heavy concentration of workers in occupational groups such as food preparation and serving related, sales and office and administrative support occupations. To gain an understanding of the skills likely held by workers in those various occupations and the potential other occupations those workers might be qualified for based on transferable skills, IDM sorted the estimated occupational employment data into 21 different labor clusters. Each labor cluster consists of occupations that require similar base knowledge, skills and attributes. Figure 9 is a breakout of the 21 labor clusters based on each labor cluster’s percentage share of Taney County’s and the larger labor market area’s total industry employment. Over a third of the jobs in Taney County are in occupations that fall into the semi-skilled service workers labor cluster (35.8 percent). Another 16.4 percent of the jobs are in occupations that fall into the legal, clerical, and administrative support staff labor cluster. Those two labor clusters also had the highest employment levels in the broader labor market area. The third largest labor cluster in Taney County was the skilled laborers and machine operators labor cluster which accounted for 9.5 percent of the county’s total employment.

Potential Compatible Occupations IDM next undertook a detailed examination of the individual occupations that make up the largest labor clusters in Taney County and the broader labor market area. Utilizing the Occupational Information Network (O*NET) database from the U.S. Department of Labor and EMSI’s occupation comparison analysis tool, IDM profiled the occupations with the highest employment levels to determine the key skills required for the occupation and to identify other occupations that required similar knowledge and skills and could mean potential skill transferability. As was done in 2013, as IDM identified potential compatible occupations, it divided those occupations into two groupings. The first group is production and transportation and material handlers occupations and the second group is what IDM calls “business support” occupations consisting of a variety of occupations from the business and financial operations, sales, and office and administrative support occupational groups. Next, IDM analyzed national industry staffing patterns data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ National Industry-Specific Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates to identify industries that employ significant numbers of workers in occupations that fall into the “business support” occupations group and the production and transportation and material handlers occupations group. Table 1 identifies 27 non-manufacturing industries at the 4-digit NAICS level that have 20 percent or more of their total workforce in business support occupations that were identified through IDM’s analysis. When comparing this list of occupations to the list from the 2013 report, it should be noted that there are many more occupations today that have 20 percent or more of their total workforce in business support occupations (27 occupations currently compared to 10 in the 2013 report).

Table 2 identifies 26 manufacturing industries at the 4-digit NAICS level that have 20 percent or more of their total workforce in the production and transportation and material handlers occupations identified by IDM through its analysis. Twelve of the manufacturing industries included in Table 2 have a buyer-supplier linkage at the U.S. economy level with manufacturing industries that have a significant presence in the broader 19-county Taney County region. Fewer industries currently have 20 percent or more of their workforce in the production and transportation and materials handlers occupations (26 industries) than when the previous analysis was completed in 2013 (39 industries with at least 20 percent of their workforce in these occupations).

Targeted Industries IDM used the same process to examine potential targeted industries that it used in 2013. This included examining:
Skill levels and occupations of the labor market area’s potential available workforce Labor requirements of industries Industry growth rates Industry wage levels Potential buyer-supplier relationships with key existing industries Average establishment size Industry presence in the region Available sites and buildings in Taney County
The analysis based on these factors showed that the targeted industries identified in the 2013 report are still a good match for Taney County. Many of the other industries that were possible matches in the Business Support Occupations group were wholesalers, which are typically not recruited to an area as they tend to locate where manufacturers logistically need them. When examining industries that employ production workers and transportation and material handlers workers, IDM found that many of these industries did not match well with the assets of Taney County. Many of these industries need to be located near the raw materials used in production, including clay product and refractory manufacturing, pulp, paper and paperboard mills, nonmetallic mineral product manufacturing, lime and gypsum product manufacturing and so forth. No new industries surfaced as good matches for Taney County, so the list of targeted industries remains as follows. Each industry profile has been updated for this report.

Industry Profile Data Processing & Hosting Services NAICS 518210 Industry Definition This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in providing infrastructure for hosting or data processing services. These establishments may provide specialized hosting activities, such as web hosting or application hosting. Data processing establishments provide specialized reports from data supplied by clients. Services range from data processing to automated data entry services. Industry Outlook IBISWorld forecasts that industry revenue will increase at an average annual rate of 4.2 percent through 2021. Industry growth has been driven by a continued move of large corporations’ and internet-based firms’ IT needs to third parties. The advent and popularization of cloud computing has also led to greater demand for services in this industry. IBISWorld also reports that many companies have moved away from internal IT management, opting to outsource work to reduce costs without limiting performance. Investment in internet companies has additionally benefited industry growth. Companies will increasingly capture more data, requiring outside expertise of industry operators to manage their data needs. Targeting Criteria and Selection Rationale

Industry Profile Third-Party Administrators & Insurance Claims Adjusters NAICS 524292 Industry Definition This industry is composed of three segments. The first segment includes investigating, appraising and settling insurance claims; the second consists of claims processing and administrative services; and the third focuses on insurance advisory or risk management operations. Services range from general back-office and administrative support to plan processing and claims-related operations. Industry Outlook IBISWorld forecasts that industry revenue will increase at an average annual rate of 2.5 percent for the next five years. During this time period, increased outsourcing activity by pension funds and direct insurers will continue to drive revenue growth. Technology investments will drive productivity gains, and efficiencies will improve with economies of scale due to consolidation activity. IBISWorld also reports that the industry will benefit from insurance carriers and employeebenefit funds outsource claims processing and administrative services to industry operators. A renewed focus on risk management by insurers, as well as by employee-benefit fund administrators, will boost demand for industry risk advisory and actuarial consulting services. Increases in the number of employees and retirees will boost downstream demand for industry services. Targeting Criteria and Selection Rationale

19
Industry Profile Office Administrative Services NAICS 561110 Industry Definition This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in providing a range of day-to-day office administrative services, such as financial planning; billing and recordkeeping; personnel; and physical distribution and logistics for others on a contract or fee basis. These establishments do not provide operating staff to carry out the complete operations of a business. Industry Outlook IBISWorld forecasts that industry revenue will increase at an average annual rate of 1.3 percent for the next five years. Industry operators have experienced strong demand from small and medium-sized businesses as the economy recovered from the recession. Small companies often choose to focus on core activities and outsource unrelated functions. Also, changing health care regulations have increased the number of medium businesses that offer coverage, increasing demand for benefits administration services. IBISWorld also reports that as growth for corporate profit and the number of businesses slows, the industry will experience slightly lower growth. However, downstream customers are expected to continue to outsource tasks not related to their core business in order to better compete in their respective markets.

Industry Outlook IBISWorld forecasts that industry revenue will increase at an average annual rate of 0.1 percent for the next five years. Industry revenue will plateau as competition from other sectors, such as voice recognition technology, is increasing. Moving forward, increasing health expenditure associated with newer health care regulations will help boost revenue as demand for transcription services increases from the health care sector. However, increasing external competition from user friendly software solutions could offset most of this growth in the long term. IBISWorld also reports that health care providers are one of the industry’s primary markets and account for the largest percentage of industry revenue. Total health expenditure is expected to increase in 2016, representing a potential opportunity for the industry. Targeting Criteria and Selection Rationale 2015 Total Average Earnings: $36,799
