ECONOMY

Loca:on  quo:ents  measure  the  level  of  specializa:on  a  region  has  in  a  given  industry.  A  loca:on  quo:ent  over  1  indicates  that  the  region  specializes  in  this  industry  rela:ve  to  the  country  and  likely  exports  this  good  or  service.  A  loca:on  quo:ent  less  than  1  indicates  the  region  does  not  specialize  in  that  industry  rela:ve  to  the  country.  

Kansas  City  has  significantly  high  loca:on  quo:ents  in  Informa:on  (telecommunica:ons,  publishing)  federal  government,  financial  services  and  professional-­‐scien:fic-­‐technical  services.

Economy While  Kansas  City  has  a  very  high  loca:on  quo:ent  in  Informa:on,  it  is  concerning  that  that  industry  is  declining  in  employment  both  locally  and  na:onally.  Somewhat  countering  this  decline  is  the  high  loca:on  quo:ent  and  increase  in  the  professional,  scien:fic  and  technical  industry.
