Base Industry Description: Base industry activities are the main drivers of the economy of a county or region, and are differentiated from other economic sectors by their ability to generate a flow of new income and spending on which the others depend. Approximation of regionwide base industry income: Region totals were based on our assupmtions in consultation with CEO researchers. Footnotes: 1) Market range for Regional Center establishments (such as Wal-Mart, supermarkets, hospitals) was considered insufficient to generate base income from outside the region. 2) The regional total for Indirect was approximated as a percentage of the sum of county indirect to the sum of all other basic industry sectors. 3) Inter-county commuting, resulting in base losses to some counties and increases to others, cancel out at the regional level. 4) Local Resident Services refer to the additional economic activity created by the spending of earnings and income from basic industries. 5) Total Personal Income is the most comprehensive measure of an area's income from all sources, and also includes savings.
