FOREWORD
President George W. Bush and the Congress created the Commission on the Future of the United
States Aerospace Industry to evaluate the current and future health of the industry as well as the
challenges that lie ahead for the U.S. workforce and the economy.
To accomplish our mission, we commissioned a study on the economic impact of the aerospace
industry nationally and on a state-by-state basis, using the best available U.S. government data.
This study sought to define the core of the aerospace industry. The resulting data represents that
very core — those jobs specifically tied to commercial and civilian aerospace.
U.S. Aerospace and Aviation: A State-by-State Analysis examines the civilian and commercial
aerospace and aviation industry by employment, wages, payroll, and establishments. The report
found that the U.S. civilian and commercial aerospace and aviation industry employed over 2 million
workers in 2001. These employees earned an annual average wage of $47,700.
While the figures provided by the government are the latest official data, they do not reflect the
significant downturn of the industry since September 11, 2001. Since then, the industry has
experienced a serious decline, negatively affecting people’s lives and the national economy.
The significance of our analysis lies in the illustration of the importance of the aerospace and
aviation industry to the economic health of every state economy. California, Texas, and Washington
lead by most aerospace and aviation industry metrics. At the same time, the report demonstrates
that states like Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, and Kansas are home to strong aerospace and aviation
industry clusters – a fact some may find surprising.
It should be stressed that these numbers represent the core of the industry. The economic impact of
the industry begins with this core but does not end there. The study does not measure the additional
jobs generated by the aerospace industry in our states and localities. For example, the contractors
that provide security guards or food service workers to NASA Centers are not included. This
analysis does include military suppliers, but does not include military facilities such as U.S. Air
Force bases. Those jobs, however, are vital parts of our economy but are dependent on the very
existence of the U.S. aerospace industry. Without the aerospace industry core, the other jobs would
cease to exist and the U.S. economy would suffer for that loss.
A strong aerospace industry will enable the United States to defend itself, compete in the global
marketplace, maintain a highly skilled workforce, and provide all Americans with the ability to travel
safely and securely anywhere in the world. The Commission hopes that this report will allow
policymakers, the public, and the media to fully comprehend the economic stakes at hand, as the
U.S. commercial and civilian aerospace industry faces the challenges of market forces, homeland
security and foreign competition.

COMMISSION ON THE FUTURE O F THE U.S. AEROSPACE INDUSTRY
INTRODUCTION
This study, U.S. Aerospace and Aviation Industry: A State-by-State Analysis,
provides policymakers, industry leaders, the press, and others with
objective, comparative economic data on the core civilian and commercial
aerospace and aviation industry in the United States. The report examines
the industry by direct employment, wages, establishments, and payroll.
The first section of the report provides an overview of the key findings from
a national and state perspective. The second section consists of aerospace
and aviation industry profiles for the United States and each state, the
District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. The next section gives detailed
appendices providing statistical data since 1996. Aerospace and aviation
industry segment data and state rankings also are provided. Finally, the
report includes findings for the 10 leading metropolitan areas.
The statistics used in this report are based on the most recently available
U.S. government data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The
aerospace and aviation industry definition used to generate the metrics in
this report include: aircraft and parts manufacturing; guided missiles and
space vehicles; search, detection, and navigation; and air transportation.
Other industry segments covered are satellite communications and space
research and technology. Civilians working for NASA and its space and
research centers such as Ames Research Center in California, Glenn
Research Center in Ohio, and the Kennedy Space Center in Florida are
included in this analysis under space research and technology.
The data contained in this report represent core aerospace and aviation
industry employment, wages, payroll, and establishments. Only those
industries that directly create aerospace and aviation products and services
are captured in this study. It does not include the hundreds of thousands
of indirect jobs that exist to support the aerospace and aviation industry.
Due to the limitations of the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system,
this report is not able to quantify those components of the military that are
engaged in aerospace and aviation-related activities. The SIC system
classifies all armed forces establishments together. Consequently, this
report only examines the civilian and commercial components of the
aerospace and aviation industry.
The specific SIC codes used to define the industry are provided at the end
of the report. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS)
codes for the aerospace and aviation industry also are provided, although
NAICS-based government statistics are not yet available for employment,
wages, payroll, and establishments.

COMMISSION ON THE FUTURE O F THE U.S. AEROSPACE INDUSTRY
INDUSTRY SEGMENTS KEY FINDINGS
The civilian and commercial aerospace and aviation industry definition used in this study covers six major industry
segments: aircraft and parts; guided missiles; search, detection, and navigation; air transportation; satellite communications; and space research. An examination of 2001 employment data for these sectors shows that the vast majority of
the 2 million jobs were concentrated in the air transportation industry. Last year, 1.3 million people were employed by this
sector, comprising nearly two-thirds of all aerospace industry employees. Wages in this sector were also the lowest at
$40,600 in 2000.
Aircraft and parts manufacturing was the second largest aerospace sector by jobs, employing over 460,000 workers in 2001
earning $57,200. The search, detection, and navigation manufacturing sector employed more than 150,000 workers in
2001, earning $65,100 on average. The other three sectors employed fewer than 100,000 industry workers each.
This page also shows the top five states by jobs for each of the six sectors. Similar aerospace businesses often cluster
together to take advantage of shared resources. California was the leading state in four out of six of the industry segments.
Washington was the leading state by aircraft and parts manufacturing with Boeing at the core of this state's aircraft
manufacturing industry. After Washington and California, Kansas ranks third in this segment with nearly 50,000 jobs. This
technology-intensive manufacturing industry is critical to these states' economies.
Texas, home to the Johnson Space Center, led in space research industry employment, followed by Maryland and Virginia.
Alabama ranked fourth with some 2,600 space research employees, working at such locations as Marshall Space Flight
Center in Huntsville.

COMMISSION ON THE FUTURE O F THE U.S. AEROSPACE INDUSTRY
INDUSTRY SEGMENTS KEY FINDINGS
The commercial aerospace and aviation industry is comprised of five major industry segments: aircraft and parts; guided
missiles; search, detection, and navigation; air transportation; and satellite communications.
An examination of 2001 direct employment data for these sectors shows that the vast majority of the 2 million jobs were
concentrated in the air transportation industry. Last year, 1.3 million people were employed by this sector, comprising nearly
two-thirds of all aerospace industry employees. Wages in this sector were also among the lowest at $40,600.
Aircraft and parts manufacturing was the second largest aerospace sector by jobs, employing over 460,000 workers earning
$57,200. The search, detection, and navigation manufacturing sector employed more than 150,000 workers in 2001,
earning $65,100 on average. The other two sectors employed fewer than 100,000 industry workers each.
This page also shows the leading metropolitan areas by jobs for each of the five sectors. Similar aerospace and aviation
businesses often cluster together to take advantage of shared resources. For instance, Los Angeles leads in satellite
communications employment. Seattle leads in aircraft and parts manufacturing with Boeing at the core of this metropolitan
area's aircraft manufacturing industry. Aircraft and parts manufacturing is important to Wichita’s local economy with nearly
45,000 jobs in 2001.
Chicago and Atlanta, home to the two busiest airports in the nation, led in air transportation. However, Los Angeles and
New York, with their large international airports, were not far behind. Boston’s guided missiles and space vehicles industry
ranked first with some 8,700 employees in 2001.

DEFINITION BY STANDARD
INDUSTRIAL
CLASSIFICATION CODES
STANDARD INDUSTRIAL CLASSIFICATION CODES
An analysis of U.S. and state-level aerospace and aviation industry data by
employment, establishments, wages, and payroll requires the use of the U.S.
government's SIC industry coding system. In preparing the aerospace and
aviation industry definition, Content First worked closely with the Commission
on the Future of the United States Aerospace Industry to identify those industry
classification codes that best describe the industry. Additionally, the Aerospace
Commission directed Content First to conduct a review of how key aerospace
and aviation-related associations define the industry.
Our review revealed that there is no consensus on the definition of the
aerospace and aviation industry. Most industry definitions are tailored to meet
the specific needs of the association or study being conducted. For example,
the Aerospace Industries Association exclusively examines the manufacturing
segments of the aerospace industry, while the Air Transportation Association
focuses only on the air transportation industry.
Content First selected 13 SIC codes to define the aerospace and aviation
industry. They fall into six broad categories: aircraft and space industry
manufacturing; guided missiles and space manufacturing; search, detection,
and navigation manufacturing; air transportation; satellite communications; and
space research and technology. The 13 SIC codes that best represent the
core segments of the aerospace and aviation industry are detailed in the box to
the right.
The present SIC code structure does not permit a clear analysis of every
segment of the industry. For instance, the SIC system does not allow us to
isolate those components of the military that are aerospace and aviation
related. All the branches of the armed forces are classified together under SIC
code 9711, National Security. For this reason, this report only examines the
civilian and commercial components of the aerospace and aviation industry.
Also, we are not able to isolate flying instruction schools --- an important
component of the air transportation industry --- since the current SIC code
structure aggregates data for these schools along with drama schools, charm
schools, and modeling schools. Finally, the SIC system also does not allow us
to capture those companies that manage certain aerospace and aviation
facilities under SIC code 8744, Facilities Support Management Services.
Unfortunately, this SIC code includes the management of private correctional
facilities and jails.

CODES
NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM
The U.S. government has replaced the SIC system with a new industry coding
system, known as the North American Industrial Classification System, or
NAICS. This new coding system will allow analysts to collect data on many of
today's newest industries. There is no doubt that the NAICS will reshape the
way we view our changing economy. It identifies hundreds of new, emerging,
and advanced technology industries. For instance, the NAICS recognizes
separately for the first time the satellite communications industry.
In contrast to the 4-digit SIC code, NAICS industries are identified by 6-digit
codes. The longer code accommodates the larger number of sectors and
allows more flexibility in designating the subsectors. NAICS, unlike SIC, was
developed jointly by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. For the first time,
the NAICS will provide new comparability in statistics about business activity in
North America.
Until the U.S. government releases NAICS-based employment, wage, payroll,
and establishment data, the SIC provides the best and most comprehensive
measure of the economic impact of U.S. industries on the American economy.
The table at the right contains those NAICS codes that should be used to
capture the main aerospace and aviation industry segments.

COMMISSION ON THE FUTURE O F THE U.S. AEROSPACE INDUSTRY
METHODOLOGY
The statistics in this report on civilian and commercial aerospace and aviation
industry employment, wages, payroll, and establishments were compiled from the
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Covered Employment and Wages, or ES-202
program. The ES-202 data are the most comprehensive source of industry data at
the national, state, and local levels.
The ES-202 statistics produced by the U.S. government are derived from the
quarterly tax reports submitted to State Employment Agencies by employers
subject to state unemployment insurance laws and from federal agencies subject
to the Unemployment Compensation for Federal Employees program. The data
are reported to BLS by the employment security agencies of the 50 states, the
District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.
One challenge in using the ES-202 industry data is that the U.S. government does
not disclose data when necessary to protect the identity of cooperating employers.
For example, the U.S. government does not provide statistics when a single
establishment represents 80 percent or more of the industry's employment in a
particular geographic area, when the sector has fewer than three establishments,
or when specifically requested by a state to protect a company's identity. Content
First uses a variety of methods to overcome these disclosure problems, including
an analysis of broad level 3-digit SIC codes along with available 4-digit SIC codes.
The employment, wage, payroll, and establishment data used in this report include
both civilian and commercial aerospace and aviation workers. Government
workers include local, state, and federal employees who are classified as working
in the 13 aerospace and aviation SIC codes listed in the definition section of this
report. These government employees are civilian employees. Due to the
limitations of the SIC system, we are not able to include military employees.
EMPLOYMENT
The ES-202 program represents the number of covered workers who worked
during, or received pay for, the pay period that included the 12th day of the month.
Virtually all workers are reported in the state where their jobs are physically located.
Covered private industry employment includes most corporate officials, executives,
supervisory personnel, professionals, clerical workers, wage earners, pieceworkers,
and part-time workers. It excludes proprietors, the unincorporated self-employed,
unpaid family members, and certain farm and domestic workers. Monthly
employment data for the year are averaged together to determine annual average
employment for each industry sector.
Collecting the most recently available data from each state Labor Market
Information office allowed us to produce the 2001 preliminary state employment
data. State 2001 ES-202 statistics were supplemented with Current Employment
Survey data. 2001 data are preliminary and subject to revision.

COMMISSION ON THE FUTURE O F THE U.S. AEROSPACE INDUSTRY
METHODOLOGY
PAYROLL
Payroll represents the total compensation paid during the calendar year, regardless
of when the services were performed. Under most state laws or regulations, wages
include bonuses, stock options, the cash value of meals and lodging, tips and other
gratuities, and in some states, employer contributions to certain deferred compensation plans such as 401(k) plans. Contributions for old-age, survivors, disability
insurance, health insurance, unemployment insurance, workers' compensation, and
private pension and welfare funds are not reported as wages. Employee contributions for the same purposes, however, as well as money withheld for income
taxes, union dues, and so forth are reported even though they are deducted from
the worker's gross pay.
WAGES
The annual average wage for aerospace and aviation industry employees is
calculated by dividing payroll by employment. Likewise, the total U.S. and state
wages for all industries are calculated by dividing the total payroll for the state by
the total employment in the state. All wage and payroll statistics are adjusted for
inflation to 2000 dollars, using the Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers.
ESTABLISHMENTS
An establishment is an economic unit, such as a factory or store that produces
goods or provides services. It is typically at a single physical location and engaged
in one, or predominantly one, type of economic activity for which a single industrial
classification may be applied.
AEROSPACE AND AVIATION JOBS PER 1,000 WORKERS
This figure is calculated by dividing aerospace and aviation employment by total
employment and multiplying that by 1,000.
ROUNDING
Data often are rounded in this report. The rounded numbers, however, should not
be construed as the exact numbers. In some instances, two states might appear to
have the same numbers, but are ranked differently. For example, both Oregon and
North Carolina have 10 aerospace and aviation workers per 1,000 total workers.
Yet, Oregon is ranked 33rd and North Carolina is ranked 34th. When the data are
taken to the tenth’s place, Oregon has 10.0 aerospace and aviation workers per
1,000, while North Carolina has 9.9.
