2 Advanced Manufacturing Page 1 The is an 8-couty region in central Iowa. The counties in this region include: Black Hawk Bremer Buchanan Chickasaw Clayton Fayette Grundy Tama The Waterloo - Falls Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) is part of this. The total is estimated to be 369,358 workers. The is defined as the working age population in the as well as neighboring counties that have significant commutation to work in the. The commutation data was obtained from the U.S. Census Bureau. The majority of the information was obtained from Economic Modeling Specialists Intl. (EMSI), a leader in economic database development and economic modeling. EMSI s primary source of employment and wage data is the U.S. Bureau of Statistics, and this data is for the second quarter of Information for this report was also obtained from ACT and Smart Solutions Group. Employment in the grew by 7.4% from 2003 to 2013 (see Exhibit 1), which is slightly above the employment growth for the State of Iowa (7.3%) over the same period but below the growth of the U.S. (9.2%). Employment 400, , , , , ,000 Exhibit 1: Employment Growth Greater Industry Cluster Employment The largest Industry Cluster in the is Manufacturing, which includes over 13% of the s employment.

The has identified four target clusters: Advanced Manufacturing Biotechnology/Biosciences Information Technology Logistics Advanced Manufacturing In 2013, employment in the Manufacturing Sector was over 52,000 or 13.4% of total employment, which is nearly double the percentage for the entire nation (6.9%) and greater than the percentage for the State of Iowa (11.1%). From 2003 to 2013, Manufacturing employment declined by 15.9% in the U.S. while Manufacturing

In addition, each occupation contains the number of workers in other production occupations that have the foundational skills that are equal to or greater than the skills required for the occupation. To determine the production occupations with, the skills identified through ACT s WorkKeys/National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC) were used. The number of workers with provides an indication of the number of workers with experience in manufacuting that can be trained for another occupation in the cluster with some specific job training. With over 52,000 workers in Manufacturing, offers a large supply of skilled Advanced Manufacturing workers with wages similar to those paid across the nation. Education and Training Iowa is well-known for its quality education systems and institutions. The s high school 4-year graduation rate was 89.6%, which was significantly grater than the national graduation rate and slightly higher than Iowa s graduation rates (see Exhibit 7). Exhibit 7: High School Graduation Rate High School Graduation Rate prepare students for careers in Advanced Manufacturing, and Exhibit 8 shows the five programs that had the highest number of completions in.
