1. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP
Boyle County Quarterly Employment Census: Q1, 2013
Based upon the confidential quarterly report compiled by the Boyle County Industrial
Foundation (BCIF), the Danville/Boyle County Economic Development Partnership (EDP)
presents the following general employment data for an index of representative Boyle County
employers for Q1 2013 (January 1 – March 31) with comparisons to past quarters as well as to
previous years.
INDUSTRIAL EMPLOYMENT: BCIF monitored employment for 20 Boyle County industries
that employ 25 or more employees. A distribution center was added to the index due to its
employment growth now exceeding BCIF’s reporting threshold. Norfolk Southern has been shifted
to the industrial index because it has fallen below the minimum employment threshold (100) in the
non-industrial index. Red Wing’s employment of 0 was carried forward in this index for the
purpose of quarterly comparison, but will be eliminated in the Q2 census. One (1) firm did not
report, so its employment level was held constant. Current and past quarter employment levels
within the last year are as follows:
Q1—2013 Q4—2012 Q3—2012 Q2—2012
3,206 3,148 3,329 3199
Net Change: + 58 - 123 + 7
Comparing the status of Boyle County’s industrial employment as of March 31, 2013, with previous
employment levels in the previous five years (2008 – 2012), Q1 yields the following net employment
changes:
Q1—2013 Q1—2012 Q1—2011 Q1—2010 Q1—2009 Q1—2008
3,206 3,044 3,050 3,056 3,558 3,643
Net Changes: + 162 + 156 + 150 - 352 - 437
NON-INDUSTRIAL EMPLOYMENT: The BCIF tracks the self-reported employment of
eleven (11) non-industrial employers, in both private and public sectors, with over 100
employees. BCIF tracks health care, retail, education, banking, government, and transportation
sectors. A large retailer was added to the non-industrial index to replace the removal of Norfolk
Southern. Three (3) firms did not respond or reported no change, so their employment levels were
held constant. Current and past quarter employment levels within the last year are as follows:
Q1—2013 Q4—2012 Q3—2012 Q2—2012
3,787 3,672 3,869 3,801
