Abstract: This paper uses OLS regression to analyze the relationships existing between occupation jobs and industry jobs in small southwestern U.S. towns. First, occupation employment in the representative town is estimated from its industry employment. Then the towns are classified into different specialties, including the following five types: diversified, government, manufacturing, mining, and service and trade. Type-specific regression estimates follow, showing how occupation employment differentially responds to industry employment in towns having different economic bases. Using previous results from the Arizona Community Data Set, both short-run (impact) and long-run (projection) occupation employment estimates are given for basic employment changes in a hypothetical community.
