2002-2003 LABOR & WAGE PROFILE

About The Survey
This document is a summary of the 2002-2003 Employment, Skills and Wage Survey. Industrial and service sector employers in Jacksonville, Illinois were surveyed through a joint effort between the Jacksonville Regional Economic Development Corporation and Illinois Power Company. The survey provides the area development organization and potential business and industrial prospects with information about the local labor force.

A total of 28 manufacturing and non-manufacturing employers in the area were surveyed. The response rate is 36 percent with 10 firms responding.

Results are expressed in a manner considered to be of greatest interest to the audience. In some cases, the term "percentage of total respondents" is used. These figures are not weighted relative to each company's total employment level.

Because larger employers influence the average more so than smaller employers, some results are weighted. The term "percentage of total employment" identifies a weighted percentage. Other figures are expressed as absolute totals either in terms of total employment or total number of respondents.

It should be noted that for the following items, the respondents were asked to estimate or approximate the answer. It is important to recognize that these numbers are not absolute and should be viewed accordingly:
      • Commuting Distance
      • Absenteeism
      • Turnover
      • Age of Employee
      • Employer Contribution for Benefits

Total number of respondents by industry class:
      • 8 Manufacturing
      • 2 Non-Manufacturing
      • 10 Total Respondents
