Executive Summary	
Your highest ranked cluster is Biopharmaceuticals, with a score of 97 (out of 100) points. Your average cluster score is 51 (out of 100) points. This is not a benchmark against other regions; it only compares the relative performance of your clusters to each other. Clusters ranked higher than 51 are above average for your region, while clusters ranked lower than 51 are below average. Top clusters must have a score of at least 59, while bottom clusters must have a score of 43 or less. These thresholds are determined by applying the average deviation (plus or minus 8) to the average cluster score 51.

Appendix A - Data Sources and Calculations 

Input-Output Data
The input-output model in this report is Emsi's gravitational flows multi-regional social account matrix model (MR-SAM). It is based on data from the Census Bureau's Current Population Survey and American Community Survey; as well as the Bureau of Economic Analysis' National Income and Product Accounts, Input-Output Make and Use Tables, and Gross State Product data. In addition, several Emsi in-house data sets are used, as well as data from Oak Ridge National Labs on the cost of transportation between counties. 

Industry Data
Emsi industry data have various sources depending on the class of worker. (1) For QCEW Employees, Emsi primarily uses the QCEW (Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages), with supplemental estimates from County Business Patterns. (2) Non-QCEW employees data are based on a number of sources including QCEW, Current Employment Statistics, County Business Patterns, BEA State and Local Personal Income reports, the National Industry-Occupation Employment Matrix (NIOEM), the American Community Survey, and Railroad Retirement Board statistics. (3) Self-Employed and Extended Proprietor classes of worker data are primarily based on the American Community Survey, Nonemployer Statistics, and BEA State and Local Personal Income Reports. Projections for QCEW and Non-QCEW Employees are informed by NIOEM and long-term industry projections published by individual states. 

Location Quotient
Location quotient (LQ) is a way of quantifying how concentrated a particular industry, cluster, occupation, or demographic group is in a region as compared to the nation. It can reveal what makes a particular region unique in comparison to the national average. 

Shift Share
Shift share is a standard regional analysis method that attempts to determine how much of regional job growth can be attributed to national trends and how much is due to unique regional factors. 

State Data Sources
This report uses state data from the following agencies: North Carolina Department of Commerce, Labor and Economic Analysis Division
