Surge in Construction Activity Helped Stir Northeast Region <br /> Out of Yearlong Slump <br /> During this quarter, the Northeast region stirred out of a job creation slump and posted the <br /> state's highest rate of start-up jobs and showed an improved rate of job expansion. <br /> Construction, retail trade and service industries were major sources of start-up and expansion <br /> jobs. Within the service industry, tourism-related hotels, amusement and recreation businesses, <br /> non-profits and other membership organizations, and government provided most expansion jobs. <br /> Northeast Despite this recent growth, the BTS concurred with a DES report of little net job growth <br /> Region during the previous twelve months in the Duluth-Superior metropolitan area (Minnesota Labor <br /> Market Review, July 1995). Manufacturing, transportation and communications, and the <br /> 2nd Quarter, 1995 financial sector experienced actual job declines, while modest increases occurred in wholesale <br /> and retail trade, services and government sectors. <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 D D <br /> Mining D D D D D D 0 0.0 <br /> Construction 32 4.1 19 2.4 6 0.8 10 1.3 <br /> Manufacturing 15 2.9 D D D D D D <br /> Trans„ Comm., Utilities 17 3.9 16 3.6 D D D D <br /> Wholesale Trade 12 2.5 12 2.5 D D D D <br /> Retail Trade 56 2.4 42 1.8 9 0.4 7 0.3 <br /> Finance, Ins., Real Estate 17 2.4 5 0.7 0 0.0 D D <br /> Services 42 1.4 48 1.6 19 0.6 11 0.4 <br /> Public Administration D D 0 0.0 D D 4 1.5 • <br /> TOTAL 2nd Qtr. 1995 201 2.3 149 1.7 44 0.5 43 0.5 <br /> TOTAL 1st Qtr. 1995 144 1.7 121 1.4 32 0.4 29 0.3 <br /> TOTAL 2nd Qtr. 1994 161 1.9 126 1.5 58 0.7 45 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 D D <br /> Mining D D D D D D 0 0.0 <br /> Construction 160 3.6 31 0.7 178 4.0 169 3.8 <br /> Manufacturing 26 0.2 D D D D D D <br /> Trans., Comm., Utilities 28 0.5 18 0.3 D D D D <br /> Wholesale Trade 73 1.7 16 0.4 D D D D <br /> Retail Trade 290 1.1 122 0.5 129 0.5 133 0.5 <br /> Finance, Ins., Real Estate 43 1.0 6 0.1 0 0.0 D D <br /> Services 141 0.3 72 0.2 395 0.9 157 0.3 <br /> Public Administration D D 0 0.0 D D 60 1.0 <br /> TOTAL 2nd Qtr. 1995 781 0.7 277 0.2 960 0.8 655 0.6 <br /> TOTAL 1st Qtr. 1995 518 0.4 177 0.2 624 0.5 502 0.4 <br /> TOTAL 2nd Qtr. 1994 1,121 1.0 342 0.3 1,084 1.0 862 0.8 <br /> D = Suppressed to avoid disclovure of individual conipanc data. <br /> Northeast Region Counties.
