Preface

One of the major objectives of the workforce development system is to encourage local

workforce investment boards (LWIBs) to plan strategically and focus their resources in priority

industries (and eventually on priority occupations within those industries).

To assist in these efforts, the New York State Department of Labors Division of Research andStatistics decided to concentrate this report on industries identified as significant industries.

Industries presented here are classified according to their North American Industry

Classification System (NAICS) code.

This report lists significant industries based on various criteria. We hope the Workforce

Investment Board, as well as others involved in the workforce system, may find it helpful in

allocating their limited resources.

Significant industries were identified on the basis of job counts, wage levels, job growth (both

net and percent) over the 2006-2009 period, and expected job growth based on industry

employment projections through 2016. Priority industries that may have been designated as

such by economic development or workforce development officials were also considered.

New York City Industries

Twelve industries are designated as significant in this report. Ten of these industries managed

to increase their employment levels between 2006 and 2009, despite the onset of a severe

recession. In addition, 11 of these 12 industries are expected to grow faster than the overall

economy through 2016. Collectively, these 12 industries account for about half the jobs in New

York City.

All significant industries shared one or more of the following characteristics: rapid growth(percentage basis); large growth (absolute basis); high wages (average weekly wage above the

City average of $1,421 in 2009); or strong expected growth through 2016. The specific

reason(s) why each industry was designated as significant are presented in the last column of

the first table.

A broad-based set of industries were identified for this report. They cover eight major industry

groups: construction; trade; transportation and utilities; financial activities; professional and

business services; educational services; health care and social assistance; leisure and

hospitality; and other services.

Industry Analysis

In the following analysis, industries are presented in ascending NAICS industry code order. For

Construction

Skilled trades occupations comprise much of the employment within the construction of

buildings (NAICS Industry 236) industry. Although construction is a highly cyclical industry, the

long-term outlook is strong. Recently, a variety of factors lowered demand for construction

work, including heavy layoffs in the industries that use the most office space, tight credit

markets and the completion of a large number of projects started during better economictimes. While the weakness should last into next year, there are some hopeful signs: both the

job and credit markets are improving and several large universities have major expansion plans.

Trade, Transportation and Utilities

Food and beverages stores (NAICS Industry 445) is the second largest retail industry and has

enjoyed strong growth in recent years. Expansion by national chains -- Costco, Whole Foods,

BJs Wholesale, etc. -- played a key role in the recent job gains. Unlike many industries in this

sector, food and beverage stores generally perform well during economic downturns.

Financial Activities

The securities, commodity contracts, and other financial investments industry(NAICS Industry

523) is a part of the broader financial activities supersector. Jobs in this industry are heavily

concentrated geographically 90 percent of jobs in securities, commodity contracts, and other

financial investments are in New York City and most of the rest are located in the Long Island

and Hudson Valley regions.

Although this industry is highly cyclical -- going through repeated boom and bust cycles -- it has

grown over time. Currently, employment appears to be stabilizing after severe losses in 2008-

2009. However, the real importance of this industry to the New York City economy is in its high

wages. The weekly wage ($5,986) paid in the securities and commodity contracts industry is

more than four times the all-industry average ($1,421) for 2009.

Professional and Business Services

Two industries from the professional and business services sector are on the significant

industries list. They are: professional, scientific, and technical services (NAICS Industry 541) and

administrative and support services (NAICS Industry 561). Although there are marked

differences among these industries, they share one common trait: they tend to sell to other

businesses rather than consumers. As a result, employment in these industries reacts very

quickly to changing economic trends and often leads shifts in the overall job market. The

outlook for this sector has improved greatly in recent months, as a stronger than expected

bounce-back in corporate profits led to increased purchases of professional and support

services.

Professional, scientific, and technical services is the only significant industry that qualified based

on all four measures it added jobs at a faster rate than the total for all industries between

2006 and 2009, it is the Citys second largest industry, it is expected to grow faster than average

through 2016, and its average weekly wage is above the New York City average.

Administrative and support services lost jobs while the New York City total grew between 2006

and 2009. Nonetheless, this category is expected to grow much more rapidly as the economy

expands in the coming years. Temporary help agencies are a large part of administrative and

support services, which brings down the industrys overall average wage level, and also

contributes to its volatility.

Because of their sensitivity to economic trends these two significant industries will offer some

of the best opportunities coming out of the recession.

Educational Services

With more than 325,000 jobs between the public and private sectors, educational services

(NAICS Industry 611) is the largest of any significant industry. This sector added jobs (+4.1%)

between 2006 and 2009, but is not expected to grow much faster than the Citys economy

going forward. Long-term growth in educational services is driven more by demographics than

by economic conditions. Trends such as a growing school-age population and an increasing

portion of the population attending college drive employment demand.

Health Care and Social Assistance

Growth in health care industry employment is, like educational services, also driven more by

demographics than by overall economic conditions. Many health care occupations are

expected to see strong demand over the next decade as the population continues to expand

and age. Growth in health care also benefits from continued technological innovation which

both creates more demand for health care services and requires new types of technical skills.

Laser eye surgery and joint replacement surgery are good examples of this trend.

Two health care industries -- ambulatory health care services (NAICS Industry 621) and

nursing and residential care facilities (NAICS Industry 623) -- are on the significant industries list.Ambulatory health care services was the fastest-growing significant industry between 2006 and

2009 and is also projected to be the fastest growing through 2016. Nursing and residential care

facilities grew at a much slower rate but still outperformed the overall job market and is

expected to do so in the future.

More than most industries, health care industries offer a wide range of occupational

opportunities. There are health care occupations with large numbers of jobs, or occupations

that are rapidly growing and require few skills, but offer low wages (home health aides). There

are also technical jobs that require some training and offer average pay (dental assistants) and

high wage jobs that require considerable training and educational credentials (registerednurses). These industries are also major employers of clerical and administrative workers.

Social assistance (NAICS Industry 624) is a large industry that has enjoyed steady growth for

many years and is expected to continue to perform well in the future. It is similar to jobs in

health care and education in that many of the services this industry provides are not directly

tied to the economic cycle, but tend be required even during downturns. For the same reason,

it should be expected to perform relatively well during a recovery. However, because a large


5/18

portion of this industrys jobs are supported by government spending, it often performs

relatively poorly in the early phases of a recovery because government revenues have not

recovered yet.

Leisure & Hospitality

Two industries from this sector -- accommodation (NAICS Industry 721) andfood services anddrinking places (NAICS Industry 722) are on the significant industries list.Accommodation is

on the significant industries list because it experienced above-average job growth. The outlook

is also positive, as jobs are expected to grow faster than the overall economy through 2016.

Food services and drinking places added the most jobs of any significant industry,and is

expected to grow somewhat faster than the overall economy going forward. This industry has

the lowest average weekly wage of all 12 significant industries. Many of its largest occupations

require only short-term training and offer wages well below the median wage for all

occupations. However,food services and drinking places also offers considerable opportunity

for advancement to a higher-paying supervisory position.

Leisure and hospitality, which is usually hurt by national recessions, has performed well during

this downturn. Job gains in this sector were helped by New York Citys growing popularity as a

tourist destination, aggressive price cuts by hotels and restaurants, and a steady stream of new

hotel openings. Going forward, rising corporate profits should lead to a recovery in business

travel.

Other Services

Other services is a mix of personal and laundry services, auto repair, religious and charitable

organizations, and business and civic associations. The largest industry in this sector, religious,

grantmaking, civic, professional and similar organizations (NAICS 813), is on the significant

industries list. In recent years, this sector has been a slow but steady source of new jobs. It isalso expected to grow at a moderately above-average rate through 2016.

While this industry employs a wide variety of occupations everything from clergy to public

relations specialists it is also a large employer of clerical and administrative workers.

For Further Information

It is hoped that the members of the workforce system find the information in this report useful.
