  • Executive Summary

    The commercial local broadcast industry, terrestrial radio andtelevision stations, is critically important to the United Stateseconomy as a whole and to local economies in particular. Localradio and television's key role in the dissemination of entertainmentand local programming is well established. Its important value to thenational economy is often overlooked, and in many ways taken forgranted. This analysis quantifies some of the core ways commerciallocal radio and television stations enhance economic productivity,efficiency, and growth. Only local commercial broadcast radio andtelevision is included in this analysis.

    Results of this study show:

    $1.17 trillion of Gross Domestic Productoriginating in the commercial local radio andtelevision industry annually

    2.52 million jobs attributable to the local radioand television industry on an annual basis

    The commercial local radio and television broadcast industry isimportant not only because of its direct employment, estimated atmore than 300 thousand jobs nationwide, but because of theindustries and economic activity it supports. Through advertising,the industry provides consumers with critical economic data on theprice and features of products and services. To businesses, theindustry provides a forum for getting messages about innovations andefficiencies directly to consumers. An unintended benefit of businessto consumer advertising is that other businesses receive the sameinformation and are prodded to adopt technologies and efficienciesto remain competitive; this free competitive intelligence is veryvaluable to consumers and to the economy as a whole.

    The following analysis identifies, explains, and quantifies all of theseeffects. Table 1 on the following page displays the economic impactfor the United States as a whole. The impact on individual statesfollows the national analysis.

  • Introduction

    The Woods & Poole Economics, Inc. database contains more than900 economic and demographic variables for every county in theUnited States for every year from 1970 to 2040. This comprehensivedatabase includes detailed population data by age, sex, and race;employment and earnings by major industry; personal income bysource of income; retail sales by kind of business; and data on thenumber of households, their size, and their income. All of thesevariables are projected for each year through 2040. In total, there areover 200 million statistics in the regional database. The regional modelthat produces the projection component of this database wasdeveloped by Woods & Poole. The regional projection methods arerevised somewhat year to year to reflect new computational techniquesand new sources of regional economic and demographic information.Each year, a new projection is produced based on an updated historicaldatabase and revised assumptions.

    The fact that the proprietary Woods & Poole economic anddemographic projections rely on a very detailed database, makes themone of the most comprehensive county-level projections available. Adescription of some characteristics of the database and projectionmodel is contained in this chapter.

    Overview of the Projection Methods

    The strength of Woods & Pooles economic and demographicprojections stems from the comprehensive historical county databaseand the integrated nature of the projection model. The projection foreach county in the United States is done simultaneously so thatchanges in one county will affect growth or decline in other counties.For example, growth in employment and population in Houston willaffect growth in other metropolitan areas, such as Cleveland. Thisreflects the flow of economic activity around the country as newindustries emerge or relocate in growing areas and as people migrate,in part because of job opportunities. The county projections aredeveloped within the framework of the United States projection madeby Woods & Poole. The U.S. projection is the control total for the2011 regional projections and is described in the Overview of the2011 Projections chapter included in Woods & Poole publications.

    The regional projection technique used by Woods & Poole linking the counties together to capture regional flows andconstraining the results to a previously determined United States total

    Summary Technical Description of the Woods & Poole Economics, Inc.2011 Regional Projections and Database

    Woods & Poole Economics, Inc.is a small, independentcorporation that specializes inlong-term county economic anddemographic projections. Woods& Poole's database for everycounty in the U.S. containsprojections through 2040 for morethan 900 variables.

    This document is a summary.Please contact Woods & PooleEconomics, Inc. at (800)786-1915for a more detailed TechnicalDescription of the 2011 RegionalProjections and Database.

  • avoids a common pitfall in regional projections. Regionalprojections are sometimes made for a city or county without regardfor potential growth in surrounding areas or other areas in the country.Such projections may be simple extrapolations of recent historicaltrends and, as a result, may be too optimistic or pessimistic. If thesecounty projections were added together, the total might differconsiderably from any conceivable national forecast scenario; this isthe result of each regional projection being generated independentlywithout interactive procedures and without being integrated into aconsistent national projection.

    The methods used by Woods & Poole to generate the countyprojections proceed in four stages. First, forecasts to 2040 of totalUnited States personal income, earnings by industry, employment byindustry, population, inflation, and other variables are made. In the2011 Woods & Poole model the U.S. forecast included an estimate ofthe 2008-09 recession using preliminary employment data for 2009and 2010 from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Second, the country isdivided into 179 Economic Areas (EAs) as defined by the U.S.Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA). TheEAs are aggregates of contiguous counties that attempt to measurecohesive economic regions in the United States (a list of all EAs andtheir component counties can be found in Appendix 6 following thischapter); in the 2011 Woods & Poole model, EA definitions releasedby the BEA in May 2007 are used. For each EA, a projection is madefor employment, using an export-base approach; in some cases, theemployment projections are adjusted to reflect the results of individualEA models or exogenous information about the EA economy. Theemployment projection for each EA is then used to estimate earningsin each EA. The employment and earnings projections then becomethe principal explanatory variables used to estimate population andnumber of households in each EA.

    The third stage is to project population by age, sex, and race foreach EA on the basis of net migration rates projected fromemployment opportunities. For stages two and three, the U.S.projection is the control total for the EA projections. The fourth stagereplicates stages two and three except that it is performed at thecounty level, using the EAs as the control total for the countyprojections.

    Historical Data

    Much of the historical economic data in the Woods & Pooleregional databases are obtained from the Bureau of Economic Analysis(BEA) of the Department of Commerce. The historical data from theBEA include county-level data for each year 1969 through 2008 foremployment and earnings by one-digit Standard Industrial

  • Classification (SIC) code (1969 to 2000) and by one-digit NorthAmerican Industry Classification System (NAICS) code (2001 to2008), and personal income by source of income. Other sources ofdata include the 1970, 1980, 1990, and 2000 Censuses and post-Censalreports for population and household data, and the quinquennialCensus of Retail Trade for retail sales data. Woods & Poole generallyaccepts the government data as given unless indicated otherwise in thischapter. The discussion which follows, of the historical data used byWoods & Poole, is not intended to be a complete explanation of thehistorical data; the user should consult the government sources of thehistorical data for a complete explanation. Some of the sources ofgovernment data used by Woods & Poole have technical explanationsof how the historical data is collected, how the data can be used, andlimitations to the data; the documentation may contain importantinformation on the applicability of the data for particular applicationsand should be reviewed by users of the historical data; thedocumentation can be obtained from the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, theGovernment Printing Office or many public libraries. All data for theyears 2009-2040 (2010-2040 for population) are projected by Woods& Poole.

    Historical data are subject to revision from time to time.Historical employment and income data from the Bureau ofEconomic Analysis are revised on a regular basis. For example,historical data released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis in 1984showed total employment for the United States in 1980 to be 106.4million jobs; the current estimate of 1980 U.S. total employment is114.0 million jobs. When using the historical data, it is important touse the current revision and not combine this data with previousversions since there may be definitional changes in the data.

    Gross Domestic Product by State

    Gross Domestic Product by State, formerly Gross State Product(GSP), is called Gross Regional Product (GRP) in the Woods & Pooledatabase. GRP is historical for the United States total, regions, andstates for the years 1969-2007 from the Bureau of Economic AnalysisGross Domestic Product by State series. All county, and metropolitanarea, historical GRP data, 1969-2007, is estimated by Woods & Pooleby allocating state GRP in a particular year to counties within thestate based on the proportion of total state earnings of employeesoriginating in a particular county. County GRP estimates areconstrained to state totals for the years 1969-2007. All GRP data isestablishment based.

  • Local Television and Radio Employment and Output

    All of the estimates provided in this report are for 2010. Theestimates of local radio and television employment were obtained fromthe U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census.Employment estimates by detailed NAICS industries for broadcastingand advertising were used to create U.S. and state employmentestimates for television and radio. The input-output factors to estimateemployment from suppliers were obtained from the detailed input-output tables of the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The multiplierfactors were assumed to always be less than 2.8 jobs. The stimulativefactor was always assumed to be less than $20 of economic output per$1 of advertising output and less than 45 jobs per $1 million ofadvertising output. The output data was obtained from local televisionand radio broadcasting sources.

    Employment

    The employment data in the Woods & Poole database are acomplete measure of the number of full- and part-time jobs by placeof work. Historical data, 1969-2008, are from the U.S. Department ofCommerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis. The employment datainclude wage and salary workers, proprietors, private householdemployees, and miscellaneous workers. Wage and salary employmentdata are based on an establishment survey in which employers areasked the number of full- and part-time workers at a givenestablishment. Because part-time workers are included, a personholding two part-time jobs would be counted twice. Also, since thewage and salary employment data are based on an establishmentsurvey, jobs are counted by place of work and not place of residence ofthe worker; thus, a job in the New York Metropolitan Area is countedin the New York Metropolitan Area regardless of where the workerlives. The 2011 Woods & Poole model included an estimate of the2008-09 recession using preliminary employment data for 2009 and2010 from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

    Data on proprietors include farm and non-farm proprietors bysector. Proprietors include not only those people who devote themajority of their time to their proprietorship, but people who devoteany time at all to a proprietorship. Thus, a person who has a full-timewage and salary job and on nights and weekends runs a small businesslegally defined as a proprietorship would be counted twice. Theemployment data therefore include full- and part-time proprietors.

    Private household employment data include persons employed bya household on the premises, such as full-time baby-sitters,housekeepers, gardeners, and butlers. Miscellaneous employment datainclude judges and all elected officials, persons working only oncommission in sectors such as real estate and insurance, students

  • employed by the colleges or universities in which they are enrolled,and unincorporated subcontractors in sectors such as construction.

    The employment data used by Woods & Poole comprise the mostcomplete definition of the number of jobs by county. Woods & Pooledata may be higher than that from other sources because they measuremore kinds of employment. There are three other commonly usedgovernment sources for employment data: the Bureau of LaborStatistics (BLS), the Bureau of the Census, and the National Incomeand Product Accounts (NIPA). These sources of employment datadiffer from the data used by Woods & Poole. The BLS establishmentdata are generally much lower than the Woods & Poole data becauseagricultural workers, the military, proprietors, households, andmiscellaneous employment are not included; the exclusion ofproprietors from the BLS data is the most significant difference. Datafrom the Census (and some survey data from the BLS) are based onemployment by place of residence and differ fundamentally in conceptfrom the Woods & Poole employment data by place of work; Censusemployment data are generally lower than Woods & Poole data, butnot always. Since Census data are based on a household survey,persons holding two jobs would be counted only once, and, therefore,the data would be lower than Woods & Poole. However, Censussurvey data for counties that have a large number of commuters andrelatively few jobs within the county could yield employment datahigher than Woods & Poole. Employment data in the National Incomeand Product Accounts are close to Woods & Poole data, except thatpart-time proprietors and certain miscellaneous employees areexcluded; therefore, these data are usually lower.

    Personal Income

    The historical data (1969-2008) for total personal income are fromthe U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis.Total personal income is the income received by persons from allsources, that is, from participation in production, from bothgovernment and business transfer payments, and from governmentinterest, which is treated like a transfer payment. Persons consist ofindividuals, nonprofit institutions serving individuals, private uninsuredwelfare funds, and private trust funds. Personal income is the sum ofwages and salaries, other labor income, proprietors income, rentalincome of persons, dividend income, personal interest income, andtransfer payments less personal contributions for social insurance.

    As with employment, the definition of total personal income usedby Woods & Poole is the most comprehensive one available. Anothercommonly used measure of income is money income of persons.Money income is the concept used by the Bureau of the Census and iswidely used in other sources. When Woods & Pooles income data are

    Employment in the Woods &Poole database is usually muchhigher than BLS employmentdata because Woods & Pooleincludes proprietors andgovernment workers.

  • higher than data from another source, once inflation adjustments aretaken into account, it is probably because the other source uses moneyincome base data. Total personal income includes all of moneyincome plus the exclusions to money income. Money incomeexcludes payments-in-kind such as food stamps, agricultural payments-in-kind, and the value of in-kind medical payments; the imputedrental value of owner-occupied housing; the imputed value of certaininterest payments such as the value to consumers of free non-interestbearing checking accounts; all other labor income; capitalconsumption adjustments for proprietors; inventory valuationadjustments, although sometimes this is negative; and lump-sumpayments such as liability judgments and consumer defaults on debtsto businesses. For the U.S. as a whole, money income is about 25%less than total personal income; at the regional level, the differencevaries depending on the specific composition of total personal income.

    Another commonly used measure of income is disposable income,which is defined as total personal income less personal tax and non-taxpayments. Disposable income is the income available to persons forspending or saving. Tax payments are payments, net of refunds, madeby persons to the government; it includes taxes such as income, estateand gift, and personal property taxes, but it excludes personalcontributions to social insurance. Non-tax payments include tuitionand fees paid to schools and hospitals operated mainly by thegovernment, donations to such institutions, passport fees, and fines andpenalties.

    Retail Sales and Food Services Sales

    Data for retail sales by kind of business are from the 1972, 1977,1982, 1987, 1992, 1997, 2002 Census of Retail Trade (U.S. Departmentof Commerce, Bureau of the Census). Retail sales data for 1972, 1977,1982, 1987, 1992, and 1997 has been changed by Woods & Poole fromSIC classifications to estimated NAICS kind of business classificationsto be consistent with 2002 Census of Retail Trade data. Theintervening historical data for the years 1969-71, 1973-76, 1978-81,1983-86, 1988-91, 1993-96, and 1998-2001 are also estimated byWoods & Poole. These estimates are made by interpolating retail salesby kind of business per capita for the intervening years (e.g., 1973-76).These proportions are then multiplied by population for theintervening years to estimate retail sales by kind of business. Theestimates are then constrained to U.S. retail sales by kind of businessfor the intervening years. U.S. retail sales data for 1969-2002 are fromthe Bureau of Economic Analysis but are revised by Woods & Poole tobe consistent with the sum of the county retail sales data for theCensus years. Therefore, retail sales data for the U.S. are the sum ofcounty retail sales as published in the Census of Retail Trade and differ

    Personal income (and income percapita) data used by Woods &Poole are usually much higherthan money income data used bythe Census because money incomeexcludes some forms of income.

    Retail sales data are historical forthe years 1972, 1977, 1982, 1987,1992, 1997, and 2002; estimatedfor all other years 1969-2001;and projected for the years 2003-2040.

    Retail sales by kind of businessare based NAICS classifications.Total retail sales includes foodservices and drinking places.

  • from the U.S. data published monthly by the Department ofCommerce.

    Some county data from the Census of Retail Trade are withheldbecause of Federal information disclosure policies. All withheld datahave been estimated by Woods & Poole; the techniques used to makethese estimates are described below in the section titled Estimation ofMissing Historical Data.

    In the 2011 Woods & Poole database total retail sales are modifiedto include food services and drinking places sales (NAICS 722). Theinclusion of food services and drinking places sales makes total retailsales more consistent with the SIC definition.

    Retail sales are counted, as are employment and earnings, on anestablishment basis. Mail-order sales are counted at the point fromwhich the merchandise is sent and not at the point at which it isreceived. Retail sales are classified by kind of business according to theprincipal lines of commodities sold (e.g., groceries or hardware) or theusual trade designation (e.g., drug store or cigar store). In some cases,an establishment sells goods in several different business groups, such asa convenience store with gasoline pumps. In these cases, all theestablishments sales are classified in the business group that is theprimary activity of the establishment; therefore, the retail sales data bykind of business does not reflect retail sales by merchandise line.

    Population

    The historical population data for the years 1969 to 2009 is fromthe U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census. Thehistorical population data in the 2011 Woods & Poole database doesnot include 2010 Census results. The historical county totalpopulation and population by single year of age by race and sex forthe years 1991-1999 and 2001-2009 was estimated by Woods & Pooleusing 1990 and 2000 Census results and Bureau of the Censusintercensal and postcensal estimates. The historical county populationby single year of age by race and sex for the years 1971-1979 and1981-1989 is estimated by using single year of age data from the 1970,1980, and 1990 Census of Population for counties, and U.S. annualpopulation by single year of age by race and sex.

    Population is defined as July 1 residential population and includes:civilian population; military population except personnel stationedoverseas; college residents; institutional populations, such as prisoninmates and residents of mental institutions, nursing homes, andhospitals; and estimates of undocumented aliens. Excluded arepersons residing in Puerto Rico, U.S. territories and possessions, andU.S. citizens living abroad.

    The 2011 Woods & Pooledatabase does not include 2010Census population data.

  • The population data in the Woods & Poole database are generallyconsistent with data from other sources, including the Census Bureau.The most significant difference between the Census Bureau data usedby Woods & Poole and the actual 1970, 1980, 1990, and 2000 Censusresults is that Woods & Poole data are July 1-based and the decennialcensus data are April 1-based. Decennial census data were adjustedforward from April 1 to July 1 to make them consistent withpopulation data for other years as well as with the employment andincome data, which are also July 1-based.

    Households

    The data for households are from Census Bureau counts in 1970,1980, 1990, and 2000 and Census Bureau estimates for 1985. As withpopulation, the household data from the decennial censuses wereadjusted from April 1 to July 1. The 1985 Census Bureau estimate wasalready July 1-based. All other years of county household data (i.e.,1969, 1971-1979, 1981-1984, 1986-1989, and 1991-1999) areestimates. Household data for the U.S. and states, 1969-2000, are basedon Census Bureau data.

    Household data for total number of households, group quarterspopulation, and average size of households from the 1990 and 2000Census, adjusted to a July-1 base, are included in the Woods & Pooledatabase.

    Households are defined as occupied housing units. A housing unitis a house, an apartment, a group of rooms, or a single room occupiedas separate living quarters. The occupants of a housing unit may be asingle family, one person living alone, two or more families livingtogether, or any group of related or unrelated persons who share livingquarters. All people are part of a household except those who residein group quarters. Group quarters include living arrangements such asprisons, homes for the aged, rooming houses, college dormitories, andmilitary barracks. The average size of households is defined as totalpopulation less group quarters population divided by the number ofhouseholds. Mean household income is defined as total personalincome less estimated income of group quarters population divided bythe number of households.
