INFO BOOK 2016 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; PAGE 35

HISTORY Okanogan County history Okanogan Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natives were called the Okanogans, Methows, Nespelems and San Poils. They have since been joined on the Colville Indian Reservation by bands of Nez Perce, Wenatchee, Lakes, Colville, Palouse, Moses and Entiat Indians.

Early non-Indians came to the county seeking furs and, eventually gold and silver. Some highlights: July 3, 1811: David Thompson and other fur traders from British-owned Northwest Company drift into the area. They are said to be the first white men to arrive in the Okanogan.

OKANOGAN COUNTY PROFILE Okanogan County borders Canada on the north. The Columbia River Basin and Lake Roosevelt form its southern and eastern borders, and the North Cascade Mountains form its western border. It is one of the largest counties in the state at 5,268 square miles, but has the fifth fewest residents per square mile. It is an agricultural county with many outdoor recreation activities that draw tourists.

The Colville Confederated Tribes occupy much of Okanogan County and part of Ferry County as well. As of January 2012, the Colville Confederated Tribes consists of 9,365 descendants of 12 aboriginal tribes. \

Outlook The effects of the recent recession hit Okanogan County’s labor market heavily in 2009 and 2010 and less severely in 2011 and 2012. Local nonfarm employment stabilized in 2013 before posting an average annual increase of 2.4 percent in 2014.

Nonfarm employment in Okanogan County increased from 12,170 in 2013 to 12,460 in 2014, a 290 job and 2.4 percent upturn.

After four consecutive years of nonfarm jobs losses (2009 through 2012) and one less-than-stellar year (2013) in which nonfarm employment stagnated, the 2.4 percent and 290 job increase (from 12,170 to 12,460

jobs) was very good news for the local economy. In fact, on a percentage basis, the 2.4 percent nonfarm job growth rate in Okanogan County during 2014 was the highest job growth rate in the past ten years.

Labor force and unemployment The average not seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in Okanogan County in 2014 was 7.4 percent. This was a one and three-tenths percentage point drop from the 8.7 percent reading in 2013. The rate has been dropping for the last four consecutive years. The lowest average unemployment reading in the county in recent years was in 2007 at 6.3 percent and the highest rate was 11.3 in 1993. Statewide, the not seasonally adjusted unemployment rate also decreased in each of the last four calendar years since its peak of 9.9 percent in 2010. Washington’s unemployment rate in 2014 was 6.2 percent, an eight-tenths percentage point drop from the 7.0 percent figure in 2013.

Industry employment The top five Okanogan County sectors in 2013 in terms of employment are: Agriculture, forestry and fishing 32.5% (5,694 jobs); Local government

21.6% (3,777); Accommodation and food services 21.6% (3,777); Retail trade 10.3% (1,809); Health services 10.3% (1,809) In 2013, data showed that Okanogan County’s labor market provided 17,512 jobs.

Nearly one third of total covered employment in Okanogan County was in agriculture (5,694 of the county’s 17,512 jobs).

Industry employment by age and gender The largest job holder group in 2012 was those age 55 and older comprising 26.1 percent of the workforce. This group was followed closely by the 45 to 54 age group with 21.6 percent of the workforce. In 2012, males held 49.5 percent and women held 50.5 percent of jobs in Okanogan County. There were substantial gender composition differences in the industry groups: Male-dominated industries included mining (85.2 percent), construction (84.7 percent), manufacturing (73.2 percent), utilities (72.4 percent) and wholesale trade (71.2 percent).

Female-dominated industries included finance and insurance (81.1 percent), healthcare and social assistance (78.7 percent), other (68.8 percent) and services educational services (68.2 percent).

Wages and income In 2013, there were 17,512 jobs in Okanogan County with a total payroll of approx. $490.2 million covered by unemployment insurance.

The county’s average annual covered wage in 2013 was $27,995, approximately 52.8 percent of Washington’s annual average wage of $53,030.

Okanogan County’s median hourly wage was $13.40 in 2012, lower than Washington state’s $21.64 median hourly wage

Population Okanogan County’s population in 2010 was 41,120. The growth rate from April 1, 2010 to July 1, 2014 was 0.4 percent for Okanogan County, much lower than that of the state at 5.0 percent.

Educational attainment Over the period 2009 to 2013, 81.7 percent of individuals age 25 and older were high school graduates.

This figure is lower than that of Washington state (90.0 percent) and the nation (86.0 percent). The percent of residents with a bachelor’s degree or higher was 16.5 percent. This figure does not compare favorably with the state (31.9 percent) or nation (28.8 percent).

FERRY COUNTY PROFILE Ferry County, named for Governor Ferry, was carved out of Stevens County in 1899.

Ferry County is bordered to its north

by British Columbia and Lincoln County to its south. Okanogan County lies to the west and Stevens County to the east.

The Colville Confederated Tribe owns the southern portion of the county and the northern portion is largely part of the Colville National Forest. Less than 18 percent of the land in Ferry County is privately owned.

Outlook The economy of Ferry County has remained static with little change over time. The lack of economic growth is reflected in slow population growth, an older than average population and negative real employment growth.

Ferry County continues to be plagued by limited transportation and little private land. These issues limit growth of resource extraction as well as overall economic activity. As the nation and state continue to recover, Ferry County is likely to continue to experience sluggish growth.

Ferry County, and particularly the town of Republic, has relied on mining for decades. The Republic mines were the major producers of gold in the state for many years in the 20th

century. Since 2009, employment growth has been slightly negative.

Industry employment by age and gender

Labor force and unemployment

The largest jobholder age group in Ferry County in 2014 was the 55 and older group at 29.1 percent. This percentage was closely followed by jobholders aged 45 to 54, with 23.4 percent of the workforce.

In 2014, women held 47.4 percent of the jobs in Ferry County – down from 50.2 percent in 2010. There were substantial differences in gender dominance by industry.

Male-dominated industries included construction (89.1 percent) and manufacturing (89.4 percent).

Female-dominated industries included finance and insurance (84.0 percent), healthcare and social assistance (69.9 percent) and accommodations and food service (72.6 percent).

The civilian labor force for the first seven months of 2015 (2,446) was down compared to the same period in of 2014 (2,465).

The preliminary county unemployment rate for the first seven months of 2015 was 11.2 percent. In 2014 the rate was 12.5 percent for the same period. The unemployment rate peaked in 2010 at 17.7 percent.

Industry employment Ferry County has just over 1,600 nonfarm jobs located in the county. A large number of the employed residents work in jobs or for firms located outside the county.

Total nonfarm jobs in the first seven months of 2015 were down slightly from the same period in 2014.

Goods-producing employment is averaging 310 jobs in 2015, a slight increase from the 2014 average of 304. All of the increase was in manufacturing.

Service-providing employment is averaging 1,340 in 2015. According to the most recent estimates, employment is still trending down.

less than the state ($47,717). Ferry County has ranked 39th in the state in terms of per capital personal income for the past five years.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts, the median household income was $37,571 in 2009 to 2013, less than the median for the state at $59,478.

In the period 2009 to 2013, 20.7 percent of Ferry County’s population was living below the poverty level, higher than the state’s level of 13.4 percent according to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts.

Population Ferry County’s population was estimated at 7,667 in 2014. It grew at a rate of 1.5 percent from 2010 to 2014 compared to the state’s growth rate of 5.0 percent.

Wages and income

Educational attainment

In 2014, there were 1,698 jobs covered by unemployment insurance, with a total payroll of over $63.6 million.

The 2014 average annual wage was $37.489, well below the state’s average annual wage of $55,003 and ranked 17th in the state.

Personal income In 2013, the per capita personal income was $30,114 in Ferry County,
