Target Industry Cluster Analysis Marshall-Putnam-Stark Region, Illinois Table of contents 01 02 03 Overview Industry Cluster Analysis Target Industry Cluster 01 overview Marshall-Putnam-Stark Region, IL Overview Marshall-Putnam-Stark Region The Marshall-Putnam-Stark Region is comprised of three Northern Illinois counties. I-39 passes at the eastern edge of the region connecting to I-80 to the north, and I-55 and I-74 to the south. Marshall Putnam Stark section 01 4 02 Industry cluster analysis Marshall-Putnam-Stark Region, IL Industry cluster analysis How to interpret cluster data results The graph’s four quadrants tell a different story for each cluster. Contains clusters that are more concentrated in the region but are declining (negative growth). These clusters typically fall into the lower quadrant as job losses cause a decline in concentration. Mature Top left (strong but declining) Transforming Contains clusters that are under-represented in the region (low concentration) and are also losing jobs. Clusters in this region may indicate a gap in the workforce pipeline if local industries anticipate a future need. In general, clusters in this quadrant show a lack of competitiveness. Bottom left (weak and declining) Contains clusters that are more concentrated in the region and are growing. These clusters are strengths that help a community stand out from the competition. Small, high-growth clusters Top right can be expected to become more dominant over time. (strong and Stars advancing) Emerging Contains clusters that are under-represented in the Bottom right region but are growing, often (weak but quickly. If growth trends advancing) continue, these clusters will eventually move into the top right quadrant. Clusters in this quadrant are considered emerging strengths for the region. section 02 Modified from: http://www.charlestonregionaldata.com/bubble-chart-explanation/ 6 Industry and occupation Industry cluster bubble chart 9 Mature Star Agri. & Food Process., 7.69, 2,345 7 LQ, 2014 5 Arts & Ent., 0.48, 201 Transportation & Logistics, 1.30, 423 Advanced Materials, 2.52, 774 Chemicals&Chemical Based, 2.86, 358 3 Energy(Fossil & Renewable), 1.20, 666 Mfg Supercluster, 1.53, 533 Apparel & Textiles, 1.41, 107 Forest & Wood Prod., 1.65, 243 Glass & Ceramics, 0.94, 17 -70% -50% 1 -30% -10% Edu. & Knowledge, 0.30, 73 Defense & Security, 0.30, 133 Transforming 10% Mining, 1.19, 36 Biomedical/Biotech, 0.72, 581 30% IT & Telecomm., 0.45, 182 -1 50% 70% Printing & Publishing, 0.41, 72 Business&FinancialService, 0.56, 771 Emerging % Change in LQ, 2009-2014 Note: Glass & Ceramics; Edu. & Knowledge Creation; Mining; and Printing & Publishing clusters have too few jobs section 02 Source: EMSI Class of Worker 2014.4 (QCEW, non-QCEW, self-employed and extended proprietors).

These industries are relatively concentrated, but their growth is trending downward. It is worth noting, however, that the Marshall-Putnam-Stark Region may find it worthwhile to invest in efforts to shore up the concentration of these industries. Star industry clusters are highly concentrated, exporting and still experiencing growth in the region. The most highly concentrated of the Star industry clusters in the Marshall-Putnam-Stark Region is Chemicals & Chemical Based. Its location quotient is 2.86, indicating that the cluster is nearly 3 times more concentrated in the region compared to the U.S. Other strong clusters of note in the region include Computer & Electronic Product Mfg., Forest & Wood Products, Apparel & Textiles, and Energy (Fossil & Renewable). Transforming Industries Transforming clusters capture the mix of industries that are experiencing relative decline and limited export capability. In the Marshall-Putnam-Stark Region, Glass & Ceramics, Biomedical/Biotechnical, Machinery Manufacturing, Defense & Security, and Education & Knowledge Creation, are all Transforming clusters. Any amount of growth in these industries would require relatively large investments. section 02 Emerging Industries Industry clusters that may be poised for future growth are classified as “Emerging.” There are four Emerging clusters in the Marshall-Putnam-Stark Region: Business & Financial Service, Arts & Entertainment, IT & Telecommunication, and Printing & Publishing.
