| Hancock County vs. Indiana Comparative Trends Analysis: Total Industry Earnings Growth and Change, 1969-2022 Introduction Hancock County: 2022 Earnings = $2,242,244K 2022 Percent of State = 0.81% Indiana: 2022 Earnings = $277,788,293K 2022 Percent of U.S. = 1.83% Industry earnings are incomes received by people who are directly involved with producing goods and services. Earnings, referred to also as "labor and proprietors income", include (1) wage and salary disbursements, (2) other labor income such as employer contributions to private retirement and medical insurance programs, and (3) the net incomes of proprietors (i.e., the owners of unincorporated enterprises). In contrast to the more frequently cited employment data, earnings data more accurately reflect qualitative differences in labor's contributions toward the production of goods and services, namely the productivity differences reflected in variations in earnings per job. Earnings data, therefore, are better for comparing and tracking long-term trends and identifying short-run shifts in the level and composition of economic activity within and among counties. Just like the employment data compiled by BEA, earnings data are reported on a place-of-work, or more accurately on a place-where-earned, basis. Note: the BEA earnings data presented and discussed here in the context of comparing and assessing the economic growth and performance of county and regional economies are entirely separate and apart from--and should not be confused with--corporate earnings, which are compiled from the balance sheets of individual private corporations. Figure 1. Figure 1 depicts Hancock County's annual total industry earnings over 1970-2022 in current and constant (2017) dollars. Constant dollar measurements remove the effects of inflation. They allow for comparison of changes in the real purchasing power of Hancock County over time. When measured in current dollars, Hancock County's total industry earnings increased 3,782.27%, from $58M in 1970 to $2,242M in 2022. When measured in constant 2017 dollars to adjust for inflation, it advanced 561.28%, from $292M in 1970 to $1,932M in 2022. Figure 2. Figure 2 traces Hancock County's and Indiana's annual real total industry earnings for the period 1969-2022 to illustrate real total industry earnings patterns over time. During this 54-year period, Hancock County's real total industry earnings rose from $291M in 1969 to $1,932M in 2022, for a net gain of $1,641M, or 563.32%. In comparison, Indiana's real total industry earnings advanced from $87,695M in 1969 to $239,384M in 2022, for a net advance of $151,689M, or 172.97%. Figure 3. Figure 3 shows Hancock County's real total industry earnings growth in a broader context by offering direct comparisons across time with Indiana, the United States. The growth indices shown here express each region's real total industry earnings in 1969 as a base figure of 100, and the real total industry earningss in later years as a percentage of the 1969 base figure. This method allows for more direct comparison of differences in real total industry earnings growth between regions that may differ vastly in size. Hancock County's overall real total industry earnings growth was 563.32% over 1969-2022 outpaced Indiana's increase of 172.97%, and topped the United States' increase of 278.59%. Figure 4. Another interesting and insightful way of highlighting the total industry earnings growth of Hancock County is to trace its individual percentage contributions to Indiana's statewide total industry earnings over time, as shown in Figure 4. A rising share means a region's total industry earnings grew faster, or declined less, than Indiana's total industry earnings, while a declining share shows it grew more slowly. In 1969, Hancock County's total industry earnings comprised 0.33% of Indiana's total industry earnings, while in 2022 it comprised 0.81% thereby yielding a +0.48% share-shift. | | | | Total Industry Earnings Share-Shift 2022 vs. 1969 | Share- Shift* | | 2022 | vs. | 1969 | | +0.48% | = | 0.81% | - | 0.33% |

Figure 5. Figure 5 shows the short-run pattern of Hancock County's real total industry earnings growth by tracking the year-to-year percent change over 1970-2022. The average annual percent change for the entire 53-year period is also illustrated on this chart to provide a benchmark for gauging periods of relative high--and relative low--growth against the backdrop of the long-term average. On average, Hancock County's real total industry earnings grew at an annual rate of 3.76% over 1970-2022. The county posted its highest growth in 1973 (19.55%) and posted its lowest growth in 1974 (-7.37%). In 2022, Hancock County's real total industry earnings grew by 3.08% Figure 6. Over the past five decades some counties have experienced extreme swings in growth, and often such swings have tended to coincide with the decades themselves. Figure 6 again shows the annual percent change in Hancock County's real total industry earnings since 1970, but this time they are displayed with average growth rates for the decade of the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, and 2020-2022. During the 1970s, Hancock County's annual real total industry earnings growth rate averaged 4.56%. It averaged 2.71% during the 1980s, 6.47% throughout the 1990s, 1.31% during the 2000s, 3.97% throughout the 2010s, 3.02% thus far this decade (2020-2022). Figure 7. Figure 7 compares the decade average growth rates for Hancock County noted in the previous graph with the corresponding decade averages for Indiana and the nation. As the chart reveals, Hancock County's average annual real total industry earnings growth recorded above Indiana's average during the 1970s (4.56% vs. 2.45%), exceeded Indiana's average throughout the 1980s (2.71% vs. 1.14%), recorded above Indiana's average in the 1990s (6.47% vs. 3.39%), outgained Indiana's average in the 2000s (1.31% vs. 0.28%), outgained Indiana's average during the 2010s (3.97% vs. 2.42%), and led Indiana's average over the 3 year period of the current decade, 2020-2022 (3.02% vs. 2.51%). Finally, relative to nationwide real total industry earnings growth trends, Hancock County recorded above the nation over the 1970s (4.56% vs. 3.13%), outpaced the nation throughout the 1980s (2.71% vs. 2.62%), topped the nation during the 1990s (6.47% vs. 3.43%), fell below the nation throughout the 2000s (1.31% vs. 1.47%), outperformed the nation during the 2010s (3.97% vs. 2.53%), and exceeded the nation over 2020-2022 (3.02% vs. 1.48%). | | | | Real* Total Industry Earnings Growth: Average Annual Percent Change | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 3.76 | 4.56 | 2.71 | 6.47 | 1.31 | 3.97 | 3.02 | 3.08 | | | 1.97 | 2.45 | 1.14 | 3.39 | 0.28 | 2.42 | 2.51 | 0.53 | | | 2.57 | 3.13 | 2.62 | 3.43 | 1.47 | 2.53 | 1.48 | 0.05 |
