<br />Distinguishing Industries
<br />May 2017
<br />Washington County stands out from the state and the Twin Cities Metro Area for its extremely
<br />high concentration of employment in wood product manufacturing. Concentration is measured
<br />with location quotients, which compare the share of employment in a particular industry locally,
<br />to the share of employment that same industry constitutes nationally.
