Manufacturing Expansions Impressive in Northwest Region <br /> Manufacturing companies have expanded in this region every quarter since early 1994. <br /> Manufacturing of transportation and recreational equipment took the lead in new job creation <br /> from traditional resource-based manufacturing such as food products and lumber and wood • <br /> products. This produced consistently high rates of job gains from business expansions. <br /> The number of business start-ups and dissolutions declined from the previous quarter in this <br /> region, while major business expansions and contractions increased. Manufacturing was the <br /> Northwest largest source of new and major expansion jobs (278 jobs), followed by services (212 jobs), <br /> Region retail trade (122 jobs) and constriction (117 jobs). <br /> 3rd Quarter, 1995 <br /> Number of Business Establishments <br /> Births Dissolutions Expansions Contractions <br /> Industry No. Rate(%) No. Rate(°o) No. Rate(%) No. Rate(%) <br /> Agriculture D D D D 0 0.0 D D <br /> Mining 0 0.0 0 0.0 D D 0 0.0 <br /> Construction 11 2.9 5 1.3 6 1.6 D D <br /> Manufacturing 5 1.9 0 0.0 5 1.9 6 2.2 <br /> Trans., Comm., Utilities 5 1.9 D D 0 0.0 D D <br /> Wholesale Trade 5 1.7 6 2.0 D D D D <br /> Retail Trade 12 1.1 13 1.2 8 0.7 4 0.4 <br /> Finance, Ins., Real Estate 5 1.5 D D D D 0 0.0 <br /> Services 27 2.1 14 1.1 7 0.5 11 0.8 <br /> Public Administration D D 0 0.0 D D D D <br /> TOTAL 3rd Qtr., 1995 80 1.8 42 1.0 32 0.7 29 0.7 • <br /> TOTAL 2nd Qtr., 1995 85 1.9 72 1.6 30 0.7 13 0.3 <br /> TOTAL 3rd Qtr., 1994 108 2.4 57 1.3 36 0.8 25 0.6 <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 0 0.0 D D <br /> Mining 0 0.0 0 0.0 D D 0 0.0 <br /> Construction 12 0.6 8 0.4 105 4.9 D D <br /> Manufacturing 7 0.1 0 0.0 271 2.4 82 0.7 <br /> Trans., Comm., Utilities 15 0.8 D D 0 0.0 D D <br /> Wholesale Trade 7 0.2 6 0.2 D D D D <br /> Retail Trade 47 0.4 54 0.5 75 0.7 39 0.4 <br /> Finance, Ins., Real Estate 2 0.1 D D D D 0 0.0 <br /> Services 45 0.2 53 0.2 167 0.8 167 0.8 <br /> Public Administration D D 0 0.0 D D D D <br /> TOTAL 3rd Qtr., 1995 186 0.3 136 0.2 692 1.2 439 0.8 <br /> TOTAL 2nd Qtr., 1995 169 0.3 145 0.2 589 1.0 224 0.4 <br /> TOTAL 3rd Qtr., 1994 604 1.1 79 0.1 1,181 2.2 295 0.5 <br /> D = Suppressed to avoid disclosure of individual company data. <br /> Nordnvest Region Counties: Beltrami, Cleanvater, Hubbard.
