Choose from Oregon's 36 counties, select any time interval between 1969-2000 under the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) or from 2001-2022 under the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS), and generate shift-share analysis results for local employment growth compared with the nation at large. This module outputs graphical representations of employment growth for the given time interval, a tabular summary of shift-share results, a tailored disucssion on how to interprete the results, and a thorough technical summary of how the results are derived.
