Analyze and investigate Massachusetts' industry structure and performance of any county economy over 1969-2023. Choose and compare among three alternative measures: Employment, Earnings and Average Earnings Per Job. Location quotients help you diagnose and identify those industries where economic activity is most concentrated. Individual industry growth rates are benchmarked against the overall average, and to their counterparts nationally, to guide you in pinpointing those industries that have led, and those that have lagged.

Select an indicator of interest to contrast and compare findings and results across all industry sectors for employment, earnings, average earnings per job, or gross domestic product.

The earnings by major industry estimates compiled by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) are by place of work, and are the sum of wage and salary disbursements (payrolls), supplement to wages and salaries, and proprietors' income.
