    This document contains data on employment levels and location quotients for different sectors in the St. Louis metropolitan area for 1970 and 1990. It shows the number of jobs in construction, manufacturing, transportation, wholesale trade, retail trade, business services, FIRE, personal services and public administration for both the St. Louis MSA and the United States overall. It then calculates location quotients which compare the share of employment in each sector locally to the national share, with values above 1 indicating specialization. A second table provides similar data using shift-share analysis to examine employment changes between 1970-1990 locally versus nationally by sector.
