VITAL REPRESENTATION FOR A VIBRANT INDUSTRY
Economists have a measurement called the location Quotient (lQ) that shows
the proportion of persons in a county who are employed in a certain industry
compared to the national average.
For years, we've heard how Erie had a higher proportion of manufacturing
than the national average, and that's true. But the industry with the highest
LQ in Erie County isn't manufacturing. It's tourism.
WHO REPRESENTS THIS VITAL INDUSTRY’S INTERESTS? WE DO.
