Two Lenses The CBP data looks at how big various sectors are in Texas. Concentration is a different way to measure the impact.
Industry Clusters Geographically concentrated groups of companies related by the technologies they use the markets they serve the goods and services they produce the labor skills they require
Location Quotient Ratio of Local Employment Concentration to National Concentration within a sector. Numbers greater than 1 indicate a greater concentration than the nation as a whole. Numbers less than 1 indicate a lesser concentration than the nation as a whole.
