Regional Trend Indicator
The 2005 Index shows that Silicon Valley is
experiencing job losses and economic stress, as
well as gains in income, productivity,
entrepreneurship and new investments in
innovation. In recent years, how we grow has
changed, raising serious questions about how well
people and communities are prepared for the
regions high-productivity, high-innovation
economy.
10
Regional Trend Indicator

• Jobs losses / gains
• While industry cluster employment fell by more
  than 3, jobs grew approximately 2 in business
  services, construction and health care.
• Creation of new firms
• While jobs continued to decline, the level
  entrepreneurship and investments in innovation
  increased. The region experienced a net gain of
  about 23,800 new companies between 2000 and
  2002. The average size of new firms was seven
  employees during this time.

11
Regional Trend Indicator

• The reality today is that many residents are not
  prepared to participate in this economy.
• A high percentage of Software (70),
  Semiconductor (58) and Computer and
  Communications Hardware (57) industry cluster
  jobs are in high-skilled design occupations.

12
California Economy

• The Milken Institute August 22, 2002
  (www.milkeninstitute.org)

• Manufacturing is an economically and
  strategically vital component of Californias
  modern economy, employing 1.9 million people.
• An additional 3.8 million jobs in other sectors
  are tied back to manufacturing.
• High-tech manufacturing is the strongest sector
  in California.
• The biggest manufacturing sectors in California
  are electronic equipment firms, followed by
  industrial machinery, instruments and chemicals.

13

• Why Manufacturing Matters National Review
  12/8/03
• The U.S. is losing its manufacturing capacity at
  a dangerous rate
• This year the U.S. will import almost 400
  billion more than it exports effecting future
  U.S. economic growth
• U.S. has lost 2.7 million manufacturing jobs
  since 2000
• Each 1 Manufacturing looses another 1.43 in
  related manufacturing and business services (ie.
  finance, construction, transportation) is lost
• U.S.-based manufacturers are responsible for
  two-thirds of all private Research and
  Development done in the U.S. (new products, new
  production, new jobs)

14

• U.S.-based manufacturers move offshore, most move
  their RD, as well.
• Manufacturing provides 1/5 of the total gross
  product of the Carolinas.
• Manufacturers pay 30-40 of all corporate taxes
  collected by the federal, state, and local
  governments.
• Current decline in state and local revenues can
  be traced largely to decline of U.S.
  Manufacturing.
• Manufacturing matters to the U.S. for it helps
  produce the taxes we pay, the jobs we need, the
  goods we consume, and the weapons we use for our
  national defense.

National Association of Manufacturers
www.nam.org May, 2003 The Skills Gap
Manufacturers Confront Persistent Skills
Shortages in an Uncertain Economy report. The
study revealed that more than 80 percent of the
surveyed manufacturers reported a moderate to
serious shortage of qualified job applicants
even though manufacturing was suffering serious
layoffs. In sum, what manufacturing is facing is
not a lack of employees, but a shortfall of
highly qualified employees with specific
educational backgrounds and skills.

32

• 1. Manufacturers in the United States are
  innovative, productive and efficient, but face
  challenges
• Global competitive pressures
• product design, productivity, flexibility,
  quality and responsiveness to customer needs
• high premium on the skills, morale and commitment
  of workers
• Relentless advances in technology
• Todays manufacturing jobs are technology jobs,
  and employees at all levels must have the wide
  range of skills
• Demographic shifts
• Baby Boom generation will retire within the
  next 15 to 20 years
• Currently, the only source of new skilled workers
  is from immigration.
• Projected need for 10 million new skilled workers
  by 2020.
• Looming shortage of highly skilled, technically
  competent employees

33
2. American Youth Are Turned Off by Modern
Manufacturing Youth response image was found
to be heavily loaded with negative connotations
and universally tied to an old stereotype of the
assembly line, as well as perceived to be in a
state of decline. serving a life
sentence, on a chain gang, slave to the
line, robot Adult response just have no
idea of manufacturings contribution to the
American economy. Career choices and as a
result, they do not plan to pursue careers in
manufacturing.
34
3. Our Education System Is a Weak Link US
educational system exacerbates the negative
perception of manufacturing, because it is out
of step with the career opportunities emerging
for young people in todays economy, including
those in manufacturing. The United States sends
more than two-thirds of its high-school graduates
go to college, but half of them drop out. The
educational system fails to engage these students
and help them enter alternative post-secondary
programs. For those who do graduate, one-third
fail to find employment requiring a four-year
degree. Meanwhile, many well-paid and rapidly
increasing manufacturing jobs remain unfilled,
including those requiring two-and four-year
technical degrees or short-term skill
certificates.
35

• 4. Our Education System Is a Weak Link
• 66 US HS grads go to college
• 50 of them drop out 33 of HS grads complete
  college
• 33 of college grads fail to find employment
  requiring a 4 yr degree 7 of HS grads are
  employed in jobs requiring a 4 yr. degree

93 of high school graduates do not find
employment requiring a 4 year degree
36

• 5. The reality of manufacturing is vastly
  different from its image. Manufacturing is
• High-tech innovation, exciting, varied careers
• 25 of the nations total economic output
• Every 1 million in manufacturing sales supports
  8 jobs in manufacturing and 6 in other, allied
  sectors
• Manufacturing averaged 54,000 in total
  compensation in 2000 20 higher than the
  average compensation for all American workers
• 83.7 of manufacturing employees receive health
  benefits from their employers, more than any
  other sector except government

37

• 6. The Challenges to attract a new generation of
  manufacturing employees
• Manufacturing is severely challenged by an old,
  negative image
• An education and training system that does not
  understand or promote careers in manufacturing
• Public policies that are not supportive of a
  robust manufacturing sector.
