November 9, 20195 yr It's the difference between the supply jobs and the induced spending creating additional jobs.

Is the first paragraph talking about additional jobs that would be created directly related to auto manufacturing and the second group of jobs is related to retail, government jobs, and so forth by people spending their paycheck and paying their taxes? For every 100 jobs created in light-truck and utility vehicle manufacturing, 925 additional jobs could be created, Duritsky said. The economic activity generated from the investment and creation of these jobs could bring in an additional $7.8 million annually in state and local taxes. For every 100 jobs created in auto manufacturing, an additional 73 jobs could be created, generating an additional $506,000 in state and local taxes, he said. No, something is wrong with those numbers. Manufacturing DOES have a high multiplier effect compared to many other industries. For example for durable manufacturing for every 100 jobs created in that field, 289.1 supplier jobs are created and 454.9 induced jobs (dry cleaners, restaurants, etc.) for a total of 744.1 total indirect jobs. Retail trade brings in 122 jobs per 100. That 744 is an average for durable manufacturing. Its not logical that SUV production brings in 925 jobs per 100, but autos bring in only 73--lower than retail jobs. The SUV number may be accurate, but the auto number certainly isn't.

November 10, 20195 yr It depends on the team. Nearby teams like Buffalo, Pittsburgh, or Detroit always bring big weekends when they are visiting the Browns or Indians, or to a lesser extent the Cavs. Otherwise it depends- Boston, NY, Chicago, Toronto- those city's sports fans always travel well. I remember Raider's fans, surprisingly, being the same, but most west coast teams won't bring many fans with them all the way to Cleveland. Some- not many.

November 12, 20195 yr The article says "near Twinsburg and Cleveland." So the bigger question is, what does near-Twinsburg mean? ? BTW, that square footage could mean up to 200 office employees. And it would also fill a couple of floors in a downtown office tower. ? Although, by its description, it sounds more like a warehouse/showroom with some offices.

This seems like a number waiting for revision. https://www.dispatch.com/business/20191119/cleveland-has-lowest-unemployment-rate-among-states-metros-in-october Just looked at the bls numbers. 3.2% unemployment is pretty incredible. The labor force did drop by 700 people. But employment was up 13k YoY which is only a little bit higher to what it’s been doing recently (around 10-11k YOY). So to say the shrinking labor force is the main reason is misleading. Hopefully the labor force will start growing but at least employment is thriving. Edited November 19, 20195 yr by cle_guy90
November 19, 20195 yr Yes, but why is the labor force dropping, even if its only down 700 YOY? Is there a net loss of people entering/leaving the metro area? Is there a net loss of people in the workforce (ie: retiring boomers)? "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck

November 19, 20195 yr Author A quick take looking at the numbers as they show the overall economy grew by only 0.9% for the month of October... 1) Our Manufacturing sector looks to be in recession, showing six months of negative growth. This will impact our employment numbers at one point or another unless other sectors take up the slack. Speaking of which... 2) Our Education and Health sector is employing close to 100,000 more people than our manufacturing sector. I know we love to push the "Blue-Collar-Work-Ethic"... but when does the word get out about this officially being an Eds and Meds town? 3) The Information sector has been in decline since 2002 and shows no signs of slowing. The sector now only employs roughly 13,000, down from 20,000 in 2002. This is another drag on the local economy which is being overlooked. 4) Our Professional and Business Services sector now employs close to 50,000 more than our Manufacturing sector, and has grown by 30,000 jobs since the 2002 recession. 5) There are roughly 4,000 less people employed in our Trade, Transportation, and Utilities sector than at this point just last year, though the numbers look to be a bit more volatile than other sectors. Pluses and minuses, but overall growth (to be taken with a grain of salt with the BLS... I'll never get over the revision they did when we were showing 2% growth overall for the year which was revised to 0.9%). Edited November 19, 20195 yr by Oldmanladyluck
November 30, 20195 yr I think that part of the problem is that people on the coasts who might relocate to take some of these jobs see how much less these jobs are paying. Of course, that's the point of why the jobs are here. It is to save labor costs. Those able to relocate may not be willing to relocate when they see how much less the jobs are may not be aware that the cost of living is here is roughly half of what it is on the coasts. If they were aware, how many would relocate to Cleveland or other non-coastal cities? BTW, Kevin Barry is one of the few broadcast journalists that I like in Cleveland. Usually picks interesting subjects he does a good job with conveying information and context...

December 3, 20195 yr ^ A couple of interesting comments in the above cited Cincy report: AK is expected to retain a "significant presence" in West Chester, their current headquarters. I take that to mean it will be the operational HQ for steel production. Things like legal, finance, and other common management elements will probably move to Cleveland, producing a little bump up at Cliff's downtown Cleveland offices. A sad comment: "The announcement follows an ongoing trend of local public companies disappearing." Sounds like the Cincy biz journal is getting as pessimistic as some Cleveland folks.

December 3, 20195 yr Cleveland Cliffs, in terms of revenue, is a third the size of AK Steel. This is a small fish with giant profits taking over a big fish with small profit margin. This will catapult Cleveland Cliffs well into Fortune 500 list.

AK has about 2,400 employees in Butler County (https://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/subscriber-only/2018/02/09/largest-butler-county-employers.html). The company reports that it has about 1,730 hourly workers at its Middletown plant (https://ir.aksteel.com/news-releases/news-release-details/iam-members-ratify-labor-agreement-ak-steel-middletown-works). Does that mean it has 700 employees at its West Chester HQ? Perhaps not. I've seen mentions that AK has 9,500 employees companywide. But the second link above says AK has 9,200 manufacturing employees. So perhaps it has only 300 HQ workers?

December 3, 20195 yr My own meager contribution.... TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 2019 Fortune 500 company HQ is coming to downtown Cleveland In case you missed the major-league news, and if you rely on Cleveland local news media you probably did, but another Fortune 500 company will establish its corporate headquarters in downtown Cleveland. Today, Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. announced it will be acquiring AK Steel Holding Corp. for $1.1 billion in an all-stock deal. In terms of revenues, the minnow just swallowed the whale. Cliffs generated about $2.12 billion in net revenue in 2018 whereas AK generated $6.08 billion. At total net revenues of $8.2 billion in 2018, the combined company would have ranked as the 350th-largest company in the United States. Among Northeast Ohio firms, that would put the combined company between No. 256 Parker-Hannifin and No. 383 J.M. Smucker.
