Abstract: This paper uses a new classification of employment in the USA based on hierarchical cluster analysis to analyze trends in employment from 1998 to 2005. Measures of growth in employment at the state level are presented, along with selected analyses of correlates of employment change. Specialization in key clusters is related to state growth rates, and the markets of the clusters are identified through the use of input--output data. Shifting consumption patterns are examined for clusters with strong household markets.
