A Message from Director Colbert
Ohio is fortunate to have a natural gift with great potential for reinvigorating our economy: huge deposits of shale rock, beneath which sit potentially vast reserves of oil and natural gas. Safely and responsibly extracting this oil and gas and making them usable as energy sources will take work, but Ohio is perfectly poised to do that work. We have a workforce equipped with the skills employers need and a multitude of local training programs to keep that pipeline of skilled workers flowing. The pages that follow show the effect that shale already has had on Ohio’s economy, as of June 2012. Total shale-related employment for the second quarter of 2012 was 179,414, and employment in core shale-related industries was up 15.5 percent from the second quarter of 2011. In any given month, thousands of shale-related jobs openings are posted online, at www.ohiomeansjobs.com. The Ohio Board of Regents also provides an overview of shale-related employment opportunities and information about education and training at www.ohioenergypathways.com. The average wages of shale-related jobs are excellent: $73,070 in core shale-related industries (such as pipeline construction and well drilling), and $58,981 in ancillary shale-related industries (such as freight trucking and environmental consulting). To put that in perspective, the average wage in all industries in Ohio is $43,958. For Ohio families and communities still struggling to regain their financial footing after the recession, this is welcome news. The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) has been working hard to help employers, workers and the state as a whole take advantage of these opportunities. We’ve been working closely with the Board of Regents, local workforce investment areas, post-secondary educational institutions and employers to identify the most-needed shale-related occupations and make sure that training programs are in place to help fill them. Individuals can sign up for on-the-job training opportunities at any of the state’s local One-Stop Centers, which provide free job training and other services to Ohioans looking for work and employers looking for workers. Individuals can post their resumes, and employers can post job openings at www.ohiomeansjobs.com. We are excited about the potential shale holds for Ohio and will publish regular snapshots of shale employment trends in future issues of this report. Check back quarterly for the latest updates.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Employment (2011 Q2 to 2012 Q2) • Core industry employment (such as pipeline construction and well drilling) was up 1,064 (15.5 percent). • Ancillary industry employment (such as freight trucking and environmental consulting) was up 4,564 (2.7 percent). • All industry employment was up 86,925 (1.7 percent). • Total employment in shale-related industries for the second quarter of 2012 was 179,414. Business Establishments (2011 Q2 to 2012 Q2) • 42 core business establishments were added. Ancillary industries declined by 58 establishments. • This represented a 7.1 percent growth in the core industries and a modest decline in the ancillary industries. Over the same time period, there was virtually no change in the number of Ohio establishments. Shale-related business establishments totaled 13,439 during the second quarter of 2012. Wages (2011 Q3 through 2012 Q2) • The average wage across all industries was $43,958. • The average wage in core industries was $73,070, which was $29,112 greater than the average for all industries. • The average wage in ancillary industries was $58,981, which was $15,023 greater than the average for all industries. Stable Employment, All Hires and Separations (2010 Q4 to 2011 Q4) • Stable jobs, those present at the beginning and end of a quarter, increased in all core shalerelated industries. Stable employment in oil and gas extraction and support activities for mining increased 4.0 and 5.3 percent, respectively. The largest percent increase was in pipeline transportation of natural gas (9.0 percent). Online Job Postings (2012 Q4) • There were 6,036 online job postings statewide in core and ancillary industries.
These data are meant to provide a barometer of shale-related economic activity and employment trends. While the vast majority of shale-related employment can be found in certain industries, not all business establishments in those industries are involved in shale activity. For those that are, not all of their products and services and, therefore, their employment, are necessarily linked to shale-related economic activity.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Data Sources
The purpose of this quarterly publication is to provide the most current available data on shale-related economic activity in Ohio. Although several data sources are cited in this publication, the primary source is the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW). The QCEW program derives its data from quarterly tax reports of employers subject to state and federal unemployment insurance laws. This includes 95 percent or more of all wage and salary employment in Ohio. Under the QCEW program, employment data represent the number of covered workers who worked during, or received pay for, the pay period including the 12th of the month. Excluded are members of the armed forces, the self-employed, unpaid family workers and railroad workers covered by the railroad unemployment insurance system. Data is published approximately six months after the quarter ends. Also included in this publication are several additional data sources that capture Ohio’s overall economic situation (Local Area Unemployment Statistics and Current Employment Statistics), employer demand (The Conference Board Help Wanted OnLine™Data Set) and hiring activity (Quarterly Workforce Indicators). For an explanation of all data sources, please refer to the “Definitions” section on page 18. In this edition, data from the QCEW program are for the second quarter of 2012. This is the most current data available. Because the data are not seasonally adjusted, the same quarter must be used when analyzing growth over time. This will ensure that seasonal factors are not influencing employment change. Therefore, second quarter 2012 QCEW data are compared to second quarter 2011 QCEW data.

Data Limitations
The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) was used to define shale-related industries. Much of the information included in this publication reflects data on a group of six industries identified as “core” and a group of 30 industries identified as “ancillary. These data are ” meant to provide a barometer of shale-related economic activity and employment trends. While the vast majority of shale-related employment can be found in these industries, not all business establishments in these industries are involved in shale activity. For those that are, not all of their products and services and, therefore, their employment are necessarily linked to shale-related economic activity. This is particularly true for the ancillary industries. The data in this edition include government employment (federal, state and local) in all shale-related industries because significant non-private employment is present in a number of these industries, most notably: highway, street and bridge construction; engineering services; water supply and irrigation systems; and sewage treatment facilities. As shale-related activity develops further in Ohio, additional industries may be added to the ancillary group, based on such factors as significant employment gains in an industry in a geographic region or the identification of a group of companies in the same industry involved in shale-related activity. 4

Snapshot of Ohio’s Economy
• Ohio’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for December 2012 was 6.7 percent. o The rate was 1.2 percentage points lower than the December 2011 rate. Ohio had 5,185,000 seasonally adjusted nonfarm jobs in December 2012. o From December 2011, employment increased by 90,700 jobs. Ohio’s hiring activity increased from the fourth quarter of 2010 to the fourth quarter of 2011. o Across all industries, an estimated 862,263 workers started new jobs (new hires and rehires) during the fourth quarter of 2011, an increase of 38,124 hires over the fourth quarter of 2010. Employer demand increased in Ohio. o 441,119 job ads were posted online in fourth quarter 2012, an increase of 29,518 from fourth quarter 2011. Ohio’s supply/demand rate, which is the ratio of the number of unemployed people to advertised job vacancies, decreased slightly in December 2012 (The Conference Board). o The Ohio supply/demand rate was 2.15, which was lower than the U.S. rate (2.55).

STATEWIDE SHALE-RELATED EMPLOYMENT DATA

Statewide Shale-Related Employment Data

The Quarterly Workforce Indicators (QWI) are a set of economic indicators derived from state administrative records and basic demographic information from the Census Bureau. They can be examined based on geography, as well as by industry, gender and age of workers. Data are presented for the most recent data available and because QWI data are not seasonally adjusted, the same quarter must be used to analyze changes over time. This will ensure that seasonal factors are not influencing employment change. Therefore, in the table below and on the following page, fourth quarter data from 2011 is presented with fourth quarter data from 2010. The table below, and on the follow page, show Ohio shale-related employment. “Stable Employment,” which is abbreviated as “Stable Employ.,” is an estimate of the number of jobs that were present at the beginning and end of a quarter. “All hires” is the estimated number of workers who started a job during the quarter; it includes new and recalled employees. “Separations” is the estimated number of workers whose jobs with a given employer ended during a quarter.

Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Quarterly Workforce Indicators. Quarterly Workforce Indicators are only available at the 4-digit NAICS level. Consequently, although these industry groups contain some employment from non-shale related core industries, they provide an indication of labor activity for these shale-related industries.

Stable jobs, those present at the beginning and end of a quarter, increased in all core shale-related industries from fourth quarter 2010 to fourth quarter 2011. During this time frame, stable employment in oil and gas extraction and support activities for mining increased 4.0 and 5.3 percent, respectively. It is also clear there is significant churn and turnover in the job market, as demonstrated by the levels of hires and separations.

DEFINITIONS
OHIO LABOR FORCE STATISTICS* Source: Ohio Department of Job and Family Services’ Bureau of Labor Market Information, Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) The labor force and unemployment data are based on the same concepts and definitions as those used for the official national estimates obtained from the Current Population Survey (CPS). The LAUS program measures employment and unemployment on a place-ofresidence basis and produces estimates using equations based on regression techniques. This method uses data from several sources, including the CPS, the Current Employment Statistics (CES) program, and state unemployment insurance programs. The LAUS program does not produce estimates for any demographic groups. Employment − A count of all persons who, during the week that includes the 12th day of the month, (a) did any work as paid employees, worked in their own businesses or professions or on their own farm, or worked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers in enterprises operated by members of their families, or (b) were not working but who had jobs from which they were temporarily absent. Each employed person is counted only once, even if the person holds more than one job. Included are the selfemployed, unpaid family workers, agricultural workers and private household workers, who are excluded by the CES survey. Labor Force − The population of people either working or looking for work, or classified as employed or unemployed. Unemployment − A count of all persons aged 16 years and older who had no employment during the reference week (the week containing the 12th day of the month), who were available for work (except for temporary illness), and who had made specific efforts to find employment sometime during the four-week 18 period ending with the reference week. This includes those waiting to be recalled to jobs from which they had been laid off. Unemployment Rate − The number of unemployed workers as a percent of the labor force. JOBS* Source: Ohio Department of Job and Family Services’ Bureau of Labor Market Information, Current Employment Statistics Each month the CES program surveys about 140,000 national businesses and government agencies to provide detailed industry data on employment, hours and earnings of workers on non-farm payrolls. This is a collaborative effort between the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and the states. CES produces a count of jobs, not of people. Nonfarm Jobs − The total number of persons on established payrolls employed full- or parttime who received pay for any part of the pay period that includes the 12th day of the month. Temporary and intermittent employees are included, as are any employees who are on paid sick leave, on paid holiday, or who worked during only part of the specified pay period. A striking employee who works only a small portion of the survey period, and is paid, is included as employed. Those on payrolls of more than one establishment are counted in each establishment. Data exclude proprietors, self-employed workers, unpaid family or volunteer workers, farm workers, and domestic workers. Those on layoff, strike or leave without pay for the entire pay period, or who have not yet reported for work are not counted as employed. Government employment covers only civilian employees.
*THESE DATA ARE SEASONALLY ADJUSTED. Seasonal adjustment removes changes in employment due to normal seasonal hiring or layoffs (such as holidays, weather, etc.).

QUARTERLY WORKFORCE INDICATORS Source: U.S. Census Bureau The Quarterly Workforce Indicators are data that can be examined by region, industry, gender and age of workers. These indicators are built upon wage records in the unemployment insurance system and information from state Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) data. QUARTERLY CENSUS OF EMPLOYMENT AND WAGES Source: Ohio Department of Job and Family Services’ Bureau of Labor Market Information, Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages Business Establishment − An establishment is the location of a certain economic activity, such as a factory, store, office or mine, which produces goods or services. It is typically at a single physical location and engaged in one, or predominantly one, type of economic activity. An employer may have one or more establishments. Employment − Employment data include all employment covered under federal and Ohio unemployment insurance laws for each of the three months in a quarter. The employment count represents the number of full- and parttime employees who worked during or received pay for the payroll period including the 12th day of the month. The employment totals for each month are averaged for the quarter employment count. Those on paid vacations or paid sick leave are included. Workers temporarily earning no wages due to labormanagement disputes, layoffs or other reasons are not reported as employed. Those on the payroll of more than one employer during the same reference week are reported more than once. Wages − Wages include total compensation paid during a calendar quarter, including 19 bonuses. Average wages are calculated by dividing total wages for a quarter by average employment in that quarter. STAFFING PATTERNS (High-Priority Occupations Section) Source: Ohio Department of Job and Family Services’ Bureau of Labor Market Information A staffing pattern is a list of the occupations most commonly found within a particular industry. This information comes from the biennial Long-Term Occupational Employment Projections data. Annual Median Wage − The annual median wage earned by workers in an occupation, assuming 40 hours of work per week, 52 weeks a year. Wage data is derived from the annual Occupational Employment Statistics survey. Educational Attainment − BLS identifies 11 categories of educational attainment, for use in career planning. These categories describe the most significant postsecondary education or training pathways to employment for workers in a given occupation. Educational Attainment Levels • Associate’s degree – Degree completed after two years of full-time schooling beyond high school Bachelor’s degree – Degree completed after four years of full-time schooling beyond high school Degree plus experience – A four-year bachelor’s degree plus work experience Long-term training – Knowledge and skills developed through years of On-theJob-Training (OJT) or formal classroom instruction Master’s, doctoral or professional degree – Degree earned at the college or university level beyond a four-year bachelor’s degree.
