10.0. EDSR 01-10-1994 l 0)9 ELK RIVER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY TO: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY FROM: WILLIAM RUBIN, ED COORDINATO DATE: JANUARY 4 , 1994 SUBJECT: ESTIMATED JOBS IN ELK RIVER One element of the 1994 Work Program was to attempt to estimate the number of jobs in Elk River. The Minnesota Department of Jobs and Training assisted in this endeavor. The preliminary findings are as follows: As of June, 1993, there were approximately 5,662 jobs (covered by unemployment insurance) in Elk River. - This compares to 11,823 jobs in Sherburne County for the same period. In short, Elk River possesses approximately 48% of all jobs in the County that are covered by unemployment insurance. - These estimates do not include persons who are • self-employed or work only on a commission basis . Four major categories manufacturing, wholesale/retail trade, services, and government comprise just over 79% of the estimated jobs in Elk River. State-wide, these four categories comprise about 85% of the jobs . - Elk River's manufacturing base is on par with the state-wide estimate of 17 . 8% for similar occupations . However, nearly 63% of Sherburne County' s manufacturing jobs are located in Elk River. - State, local, and federal government jobs comprise nearly 19% of all jobs in Elk River and about 93% (998 of 1,073 jobs) of the government jobs are attributable to "local" government. By definition, the School District is included in this category as well as County employees. With Elk River being the .County seat, one would expect a larger than average number of employees in the "local government" category. Service jobs comprise nearly 18% ( 1,009 of 5,662 ) of the Elk River jobs; this compares to a state-wide average of 27 . 65% of all state-wide jobs . Likely professions under the category of "services" include auto repair and services, miscellaneous repair services, motion pictures, health services, legal services, hotels, personal services, and business services, etc. P.O.

Typical retailers include food stores, automotive dealers, restaurants, general merchandise stores , and apparel stores, etc. A typical wholesaler may include a machinery and equipment wholesaler, industrial supplies wholesaling, an electronic parts wholesaler, frozen foods wholesaling, and beverage wholesaling, etc. The state-wide average for wholesale and retail jobs is estimated at nearly 24%. • • 0 -- V1 44 . 11:$ r•I r-1 E U V U m 4.) •1 Cli 1J m - m a) +) 0U E Sa a) 04 U 4)) 0 m m > . 0 0 a) $4 a) m m 0 O m C ro N 0 • 0 Di w E 0 04 O � dP dP dP dP dP dP dP dP dP dP dP b W 0 a) b M 0 > m ID 01 N d• M d• O .I O$ O .•i VO •.1 41 ••I V 34 0) .) --I m 44 .)
