EDC – Arden Hills <br />April 27, 2017 <br />Page 7 <br /> <br />P:\Admin\Committees & Commissions\Committees & Commissions\Economic Development Commission (EDC)\2017\05 03 17\Higher Ed Study\WSB Memo 04272017.docx <br /> <br />Economic Activity from Commercial and Industrial Uses <br /> <br /> <br />The above table illustrates the employment and economic activity for NAISC industry sectors. <br />Due to their space irregularities and the context of Arden Hills the following industries have <br />been excluded from this analysis: Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Hunting; Mining, <br />Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extractions; Utilities; Construction; Management of Companies; <br />and Public Administration. The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic <br />Development provided the average hourly wages for each of the fourteen (14) industries within <br />the seven county metropolitan area. Wages were then multiplied by 2,080 hours to calculate the <br />median gross salary for a full-time employee. As the table show, the Information industry has the <br />highest median gross salary of $131,248 and the Accommodation and Food Services industries <br />have the lowest of $19,760. <br /> <br />The square foot per employee figures were derived from a similar study conducted in Reno, NV <br />by Economic and Planning Systems Inc. who used national industry averages and norms. These <br />numbers were compared with the UMore AUAR traffic study, a Kansas DOT Corridor Master <br />Plan, the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual and architectural <br />guidelines. These studies show that office based employment fields have the least space per <br />employee (250 square feet) while Transportation and Warehousing and Wholesale Trade have <br />the most space per employee (1,500 square feet). <br /> <br />The salary per 1,000 square feet for each NAISC classification were calculated by dividing 1,000 <br />by the square foot per employee and then multiplying that number by the median gross salary. A <br />building with an Information industry has the highest median payroll of $524, 992 per 1,000 <br />square feet while a building with Accommodation and Food Services industries has the lowest <br />median payroll of $32,999 per 1,000 square feet. Reviewing these figures, the industries can be <br />Category NAISC #NAISC Classification Median <br />Wage <br />Median <br />Gross Salary <br />(full-time) <br />Sq. Ft.
