Major Employers Increased Employment <br /> As in most regions, there were fewer new businesses and start-up jobs during this quarter in <br /> the Central region. However, new businesses in food and kindred products, lumber and wood <br /> g P <br /> products, and other local manufacturing created more start-up jobs compared to the previous <br /> quarter. <br /> Major expansions in the large service sector compensated for moderating growth during this <br /> quarter in retail trade, manufacturing and construction. Manufacturing expansions occurred in <br /> Central transportation equipment, rubber and plastic products, and electronic equipment. Major <br /> Region business downsizing eased among services, retail trade and manufacturing companies. <br /> 4th Quarter, 1995 <br /> Number of Business Establishments <br /> Births Dissolutions Expansions Contractions <br /> Industry No. Rate(%) No. Rate(%) No. Rate(%) No. Rate(%) <br /> Agriculture D D D D D D 0 0.0 <br /> Mining 0 0.0 D D 0 0.0 0 0.0 <br /> Construction 20 1.1 19 1.1 13 0.7 6 0.3 <br /> Manufacturing 20 2.0 6 0.6 9 0.9 8 0.8 <br /> Trans., Comm., Utilities 17 2.3 14 1.9 5 0.7 D D <br /> Wholesale Trade 10 1.3 13 1.7 D D D D <br /> Retail Trade 45 1.4 44 1.3 14 0.4 15 0.5 <br /> Finance, Ins., Real Estate 12 1.1 17 1.5 D D 0 0.0 <br /> Services 74 1.9 68 1.7 21 0.5 14 0.4 <br /> Public Administration D D 0 0.0 D D D D <br /> TOTAL 4th Qtr., 1995 207 1.6 184 1.4 68 0.5 47 0.4 • <br /> TOTAL 3rd Qtr., 1995 349 2.6 135 1.0 72 0.5 78 0.6 <br /> TOTAL 4th Qtr., 1994 294 2.2 226 1.7 66 0.5 66 0.5 <br /> Number of Jobs <br /> Births Dissolutions Expansions Contractions <br /> Industry No. Rate(%) No. Rate(%) No. Rate(%) No. Rate(%) <br /> Agriculture D D D D D D 0 0.0 <br /> Mining 0 0.0 D D 0 0.0 0 0.0 <br /> Construction 38 0.4 5 0.1 154 1.5 78 0.8 <br /> Manufacturing 80 0.2 27 0.1 200 0.6 203 0.6 <br /> Trans., Comm., Utilities 23 0.3 39 0.5 88 1.1 D D <br /> Wholesale Trade 22 0.3 23 0.3 D D D D <br /> Retail Trade 478 1.0 177 0.4 138 0.3 227 0.5 <br /> Finance, Ins., Real Estate 11 0.2 12 0.2 D D 0 0.0 <br /> Services 194 0.3 148 0.3 435 0.8 247 0.4 <br /> Public Administration D D 0 0.0 D D D D <br /> TOTAL 4th Qtr., 1995 867 0.5 431 0.2 1,156 0.6 800 0.4 <br /> TOTAL 3rd Qtr., 1995 1,182 0.6 431 0.2 1,141 0.6 1,932 1.0 <br /> TOTAL 4th Qtr., 1994 927 0.5 471 0.3 1,887 1.0 1,204 0.7 <br /> D = Suppressed to avoid disclosure of individual company data. <br /> Central Region Counties: Benton, Cars.
