This article is an exploration of where jobs are sprouting in the U.S. economy versus where they are withering. The analysis is carried forward by means of cluster charts comprised of two graphs each and a text box.
The side-by-side placing of the two graphs in each cluster chart has been done with care. The two sub-sectors have been chosen deliberately to explore a specific relationship:
- complementary (e.g., real estate and architectural/engineering design);
- moving in opposite directions (e.g., semiconductor manufacturing and software publishing)
- a lead-in from one to the other (e.g., warehousing/storage and truck transportation),
- they’re positioned within the same pocket of the economy (e.g., coal mining and oil/gas exploration).
