Abstract: This paper takes a geographic look at how industry employment differed across the nine census divisions from 2000 to 2014. We use dynamic shift-share analysis with a focus on NAICS supersectors to compare and contrast differing industry performance across regions of the U.S. before and after the Great Recession. The dynamic method is extended to a graphical version that facilitates comparisons across regions. The graphs highlight the capability of dynamic shift-share to provide annual information on differences in performance and present decomposition into the separate causes of these differences in terms of the shift-share components. Further graphical analysis allows a closer look at the industry contributions to employment growth in each year.
