Abstract

Communities often try to boost their economies by luring new industry. Sometimes the match does not quite fit. A community could better the odds if it knew the kinds of industries best suited for local workers. This article does just that. It highlights industry hiring preferences: men, women, young, older, and so on. The matchups make an interesting point for working women: health and business services, two of the fastest growing business sectors, tend to have high proportions of women in their workforces.
