3 INTRODUCTION The Pathfinders has employed its many years of experience in workforce assessments for corporate site-selection clients and civilian workforce assessments for the Department of Defense in locations that faced military base closures to produce this evaluation of the Whiteside County, Illinois area workforce. In site-selection projects, the question that most often drives the search is whether the candidate location has the workforce needed for a new or expanding operation. When considering the workforce of a possible location, a prospect basically wants to know: Can I find the workers I need in this location? Do these workers have any skills and/or experience that pertain to my operation? How much will these workers cost? Consequently, an analysis of an area s workforce became a key component of site searches conducted by The Pathfinders. The report that follows was developed as a tool for economic development officials for use in business recruitment and workforce development efforts. Senior human resources executives from among corporate clients assisted in refining the methodology and report format. With regard to labor availability, while unemployed workers are a source considered in hiring, companies typically also staff a new operation with individuals who are working but who desire better jobs and who appear to possess the skills, education, and experience to qualify them for those better jobs. By that definition, those individuals can be considered underemployed and are identified as such in this report. The Pathfinders was retained by Northern Illinois University to quantify the extent to which both unemployment and underemployment exist in the Whiteside County, Illinois area. This report also represents the objective and professional view of The Pathfinders with regard to workforce quality, availability, costs, experience and skills that a new or expanding employer can expect in the Whiteside County, Illinois region. The information presented in this report has been developed independently of the client, and the client has not influenced the findings. THE PATHFINDERS 1
4 KEY FINDINGS The Whiteside County, Illinois area, referred to in this report as the labor shed, has a household population of approximately 392,000; a civilian labor force of approximately 202,800; and a pool of approximately 15,400 unemployed persons who are actively seeking work. The results of this survey indicate that a new or expanding employer will be able to attract employees from an additional pool of about 19,700 underemployed workers. The median current pay rate of the underemployed workers in the labor shed is $13.40 per hour, and their median desired pay rate is $15.26 per hour. Survey results indicate that the underemployed workers in the labor shed have high levels of experience and skills in distribution/transportation/warehousing and manufacturing/assembly/fabrication. Results indicate that underemployed workers are willing to commute an average of 28 miles to a new job, in contrast to their current average commute of 17 miles. Survey results indicate 4% of the underemployed and 4% of unemployed, actively seeking work individuals in the labor shed have less than a high school degree. The median desired pay rate of the unemployed workers who are actively seeking work is $13.65 per hour. In total, the Whiteside County, Illinois area has approximately 35,100 available workers for new or expanding businesses. THE PATHFINDERS 2
5 METHODOLOGY The first step in assessing the workforce of the Whiteside County, Illinois area was to determine the boundaries of the area to be assessed. To accomplish this task, The Pathfinders applied the same reasoning that would be used during a site search for a corporate client considering the area as a potential location. The survey area includes those locations from which workers might be drawn to a new employer and is referred to in this report as the labor shed. This labor shed consists of Whiteside, Lee, Carroll, Bureau, Henry and Rock Island Counties in Illinois and Clinton County in Iowa. A map of the Whiteside County, Illinois labor shed is included on the following page. Selected online resources were used in this project. Additionally, The Pathfinders conducted interviews with individuals throughout the Whiteside County, Illinois region. Those individuals were proportionally stratified across age, household income, and zip codes. The purpose of these surveys was to ascertain availability for work with a new employer; determine desired pay rates; and, collect information on such factors as age, education, commuting patterns, experience, and skills. The data obtained as a result of those interviews enabled The Pathfinders to apply and employ a proprietary methodology that accurately determined the existence of underemployment and the quality and characteristics of both the underemployed and unemployed workers in the area. Further, The Pathfinders applied a proprietary process to the analysis of the data to correct for invalid responses. For example, those persons indicating they would take a new job but also indicating the desire for increased or decreased pay that is unreasonable are not included in the results. It is important to note that companies making location decisions based upon these surveys have reported that when staffing actually began, the numbers reported by The Pathfinders proved to be accurate.

7 NUMBER OF AVAILABLE WORKERS The Whiteside County, Illinois Area Labor Shed The Whiteside County, Illinois area labor shed has a household population of approximately 392,000. The civilian labor force numbers approximately 202,800, and the labor shed contains approximately 15,400 unemployed people who are actively seeking work. The results of this assessment determined that approximately 19,700 workers can be defined as underemployed: those individuals who are currently working but would take a better job if offered by a new or existing employer and who appear to possess the skills, education, and experience to qualify them to do so. Together with the unemployed, actively seeking work individuals, the Whiteside County, Illinois area has approximately 35,100 available workers for new or existing employers. TOTAL AVAILABLE WORKERS Number of underemployed workers 19,700 Number of unemployed, actively seeking work individuals 15,400 Total Number of Workers Available for Employers* 35,100 * The reader is cautioned that, while the number of workers identified in the region, as well as their skills, experience, education, and costs, is accurate, all of those individuals may not be acceptable candidates for an employer. Their previous work records, stability, integrity, intelligence, appearance, and other factors are not considered in this report. THE PATHFINDERS 5
8 ASSESSMENT OF THE UNDEREMPLOYED WORKFORCE The Whiteside County, Illinois Area Labor Shed The 19,700 underemployed workers identified in this report might also be termed upgraders. They desire to move into an upgraded job and appear to possess the skills, education, and experience to enable them to do so. The following charts represent the desired pay rates of the underemployed individuals in the labor shed. Desired wages are shown by specific rates, range and percentiles.

14 EXPERIENCE AND SKILLS UNDEREMPLOYED WORKERS 19,700 Underemployed Workers The experience and skills categories used in this report are designed to provide accurate workforce data for employers which fall into one or more of the following four broad groups: manufacturing, assembly, fabrication or other industrial operations; back office, data processing, call centers, information technology, customer service or sales operations; distribution or transportation operations; and, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals or medical research operations. The experience and skills categories are purposefully similar in order to present the most accurate worker availability for operations in one of those four groups and are designed to ensure inclusiveness considering the multitude of tasks and job titles present in most business, government and institutional operations. The experience chart reports the approximate number of underemployed workers experienced in each category. The chart also gives the percentage of the total number of underemployed experienced in each category and the average number of years of experience in each category. Further, an accompanying chart illustrates the percentage of the total underemployed workers in the labor shed who are experienced in each category and the percent of those who use each category of experience in their current jobs. Likewise, for the skills categories, the charts illustrate the approximate number of underemployed workers in the labor shed who are skilled in each of the categories, the percent of the total underemployed, and the percent of underemployed workers who use each skills category in their current jobs. It should be noted that individuals polled normally have experience and skills in multiple categories; therefore, the category number of workers will not total to the number of underemployed, nor will the percentages equal 100%.

23 NATIONAL COMPARISONS OF UNDEREMPLOYED WORKFORCE This section of the report provides comparisons of the pay rates, experience and skills of the labor shed s underemployed workforce with the underemployed workforces in other areas previously surveyed by The Pathfinders. A prospect company considering the Whiteside County, Illinois region as a location will judge its workforce on a comparative basis. The comparative data for other locations used in the following charts reflect information accumulated over the past eighteen months. The Pathfinders maintains a continuing database of over 700 surveyed counties and communities and more than 30 million workers. In the charts, the Whiteside County, Illinois region is referred to as labor shed. The chart below illustrates the median current and desired wages of the underemployed workers in the Whiteside County, Illinois labor shed as compared to those underemployed workers in all locations surveyed by The Pathfinders over the past eighteen months. As indicated, the median current pay of all surveyed, underemployed workers over the past eighteen months is $15.65 per hour, and the median desired pay of these workers is $17.10 per hour.

30 CHARACTERISTICS OF UNEMPLOYED INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE ACTIVELY SEEKING WORK 15,400 Workers According to survey results, the following charts provide information on those unemployed workers in the labor shed who are actively seeking work. As these data relate solely to those individuals in the labor shed who are unemployed, they will vary from data representative of the population and civilian labor force as a whole. In the Whiteside County, Illinois labor shed, according to published sources, there are approximately 15,400 individuals who are actively seeking work. Survey results indicate the average age of these individuals is 45 years.

34 EMPLOYERS VIEWS AND RATINGS OF THE THE NORTHWEST ILLINOIS AREA TOTAL WORKFORCE In developing a profile of existing workers in the Northwest Illinois region, The Pathfinders considered such factors as labor availability, productivity, attitudes, costs, and education. The analysis was based upon interviews conducted with senior management and human resources professionals from companies located in the labor shed. As determined from the employer interviews, the tables below reflect the top four methods used to recruit hourly and salaried workers in the Northwest Illinois region and the percent of employers utilizing each method. Employers may use multiple recruitment methods. RECRUITMENT METHODS Recruiting Methods Hourly Workers % of Employers Newspaper Ads 41% Word of Mouth 34% Internet 31% Staffing/Temp Agency 24% Recruiting Methods Salaried Workers % of Employers Internet 34% Newspaper Ads 34% Word of Mouth 31% Recruiters 21% THE PATHFINDERS 32
35 EMPLOYERS VIEWS AND RATINGS OF THE THE NORTHWEST ILLINOIS AREA TOTAL WORKFORCE The employers who were interviewed were asked whether or not their company s employment figures had increased, decreased or stayed the same over the past twelve months and also to make hiring projections for the next twelve months. NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES Past 12 Months NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES Next 12 Months Stayed the Same 34% Increase 38% Increased 54% Stay the Same 54% Decreased 12% Decrease 8% The employers were asked to report if, over the past two years, their state unemployment tax rate had increased, decreased or stayed the same.

36 EMPLOYERS VIEWS AND RATINGS OF THE THE NORTHWEST ILLINOIS AREA TOTAL WORKFORCE 59% of the employers interviewed stated their companies had operations in other regions of the United States. Of these employers, those familiar with the workforces in those other locations reported their Northwest Illinois area operations were comparable to or better than the other regions in terms of profitability and production. WORKFORCE COMPARISON WITH OTHER LOCATIONS Not as Good 8% Better 31% About the Same 61% Based upon the experience of The Pathfinders in evaluating labor forces in numerous locations, a definite correlation between productivity, absenteeism, tardiness, turnover, and substance abuse appears to exist. That correlation goes beyond the fact that an absent worker is obviously unproductive. Rather, those factors are indicative of an employee s attitude toward the job. The employers surveyed in this study were asked to rate turnover, tardiness and absenteeism among their workers as Low, Moderate or High. Further, they were surveyed as to their substance abuse testing practices and asked to rate substance abuse among the area workforce. The charts on the following pages illustrate the percent of employers ratings for these and other factors, including educational facilities, worker productivity and reliability, teamwork and basic skills.
