Introduction

In New York State the Food and Beverage Manufacturing industry accounts for more than 1-out-of-8 jobs in Manufacturing. The industry has been a bright spot in the post-Recession economy as the number of jobs have not only recovered but now exceed the pre-Recession peaks. The industry is on pace to exceed in 2022 the up-beat forecasts prepared in 2012 by the New York State Department of Labor. For continued growth in Food and Beverage Manufacturing a supply of appropriately skilled workers is required. The focus of this chart book is to profile for New York State and its Economic Development Regions characteristics of the current workforce, identify who the new hires are, and provide basic demographics on the supply of future workers.

On a statewide basis the Food and Beverage Manufacturing workforce is younger than the general workforce in manufacturing, with a higher proportion of whom are African Americans and Latinos. The turnover rate for the workforce in Food and Beverage Manufacturing is much higher than manufacturing in general. New hires in comparison with workers with stable jobs in the Food and Beverage Manufacturing industry are far more likely to be females, and under the age of 35 years. With respect to years of education, the new hires and stable workers are similarly diverse with many workers having less than a high school diploma, on up to those with a Bachelor's or advanced degree.

The general workforce in New York State will be smaller and older by 2020 due to aging in the general population and lower rates of labor force participation by older persons, putting a premium on workforce development to meet the growing demand for workers.

This chart book provides insights regarding the supply and demand for labor in New York State’s Food and Beverage manufacturing industries. The project was completed in collaboration with the New York Association of Training and Employment Professionals (NYATEP) and the Cornell Cooperative Extension – Harvest New York program. Special thanks to the New York State Department of Labor for their assistance and the Workforce Development Institute for funding this project. The state and regional profiles present information on the total resident population and on employees in the food and beverage manufacturing industries. The total population represents the pool of potential employees while the employee data profile those currently at work in the food and beverage manufacturing industries. The population data are reported for the locations where people reside, while the employee data are reported for their work locations. Technical details for all sections of the Chart Book are presented in Appendix C.

Jobs in Food & Beverage Manufacturing

Trends and Outlook for Jobs in Food & Beverage Manufacturing • In New York State the number of jobs in Food and Beverage Manufacturing (FBM) has been

increasing since 2009, bouncing back from the earlier downward trend that bottomed out in the Great Recession.

• The Hudson Valley, Southern Tier, and Mohawk Valley Regions have had job growth leading to levels 20% to 28% above where they were in 2000.

• The Central and Western New York Regions have steadily declined roughly 30% since 2000 with no post-Recession rebound.

Notes:

• These charts are based on Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) data available through the New York State Department of Labor and their projections.

• The projections are based in 2012 whereas the QCEW data is available through 2014. Some discrepancies between the projections and observed counts is to be expected.

• Number of workers in Beverage manufacturing in Onondaga County was suppressed for the year 2000, a total number of workers of 1,100 is assumed in these analyses.

• The last chart in this chapter compares the time series between regions by setting the 2000 number of workers at a 100%.

Trends in Food & Beverage Manufacturing Compared with Other Manufacturing and All Sectors

• In New York State the number of jobs in Food and Beverage Manufacturing has been increasing since 2009 reversing the downward trend between 2000 and 2009.

• As a whole jobs in the remainder of manufacturing have been steadily declining to less than 60% of the level of 2000. There are selected manufacturing industries that have fared better as well as worse.

• Total number of jobs across all sectors in New York State has not varied substantially since 2000. • The Food and Beverage manufacturing industry fared much better than the other

manufacturing industries as a whole in most regions. Most notable is the performance of Food and Beverage manufacturing in the Finger Lakes, Mid-Hudson, Mohawk Valley, and New York City, and Southern Tier Regions, but the number of jobs in other manufacturing is less than 60% of the level of 2000.

Establishments in Food & Beverage Manufacturing

• After a slight decline in the beginning of last decade, the number of establishments in the Food and Beverage manufacturing has slowly increased statewide and in many of the regions.

• The average number of workers per establishment has slowly been declining statewide and in most of the regions. This can be because of arrival of new small businesses or through lay-offs of existing establishments.

• New York City has the lowest average number of workers per establishment, indicating many small firms and Western New York has the highest average number, although declining.

Employee characteristics Stable Employment, New Hires and Turnover

• 13% of the jobs in manufacturing in New York State are in Food and Beverage manufacturing. • New York City has the greatest proportion of manufacturing jobs in Food and Beverage

manufacturing at 22%. While at 7% the North Country has the least concentration of manufacturing jobs in Food and Beverage.

• A dynamic labor market is indicated by the ratio of New Hires to Stable Workers. The ratio combines the effect of growth and turnover in employment. The ratio for all jobs in New York State is 0.61, meaning that for every 100 Stable jobs in the state there are an additional 61 New Hires for the year. In Food and Beverage Manufacturing the statewide ratio is 0.58, which is almost twice the ratio of 0.30 for all other manufacturing industries.

• In the table that follows, the last column reports the ratio of New Hires to Stable Workers. In addition to the numeric value, is a graphic bar aiding the visual comparison of the ratios for jobs in Food and Beverage Manufacturing, All Other Manufacturing, and Jobs across All industries.

• For Food and Beverage Manufacturing the New York City (0.84), Long Island (0.73), and Mid-Hudson (0.68) have the highest ratios.

• The Southern Tier (0.32) and Central New York (0.39) regions have the lowest ratios of New Hires to Stable Workers.

Population by Selected Cohort Groups • As the leading edge of the Baby Boom generation (1945-1954) ages out of the workforce and

many retire to destinations outside of New York State they are overtaken as a proportion of the population by Generation X (1965-1984) and the Millennials (1985-2004) PAD projects that the Millennials (1985-2004) will be the largest cohort group in the coming years.

• In several regions (Central, Finger Lakes, North Country, and Southern Tier) the Millennials have already become the largest population segment. This is not due to their growth in numbers but rather the decline in other age groups.

• Growth in the number of Millennials is projected for the Capital Region, and New York City. • Generation X is projected to grow in numbers in the Capital Region, Long Island, Mid-Hudson,

and Mohawk Valley.

Population characteristics Educational Attainment by Age and Region

• The youngest age group (25-34) tends to have the highest levels of educational attainment in the state and across most regions.

• New York City tends toward the extremes having greatest proportion of persons with less than a high school diploma across all ages on the one hand while on the other hand it leads all regions in the proportion of young persons (25-34) with a college degree or higher and is among the leaders for the remaining age groups.

• Persons with a high school diploma and no higher attainment are dominant in the Central, Mohawk Valley, North Country, and Southern Tier Regions.

• The proportion of persons with a college degree or higher across all ages is greatest in the Long Island and Mid-Hudson Regions.

Median earnings by Age and Region

• For New York State as a whole median earnings for entry level workers aged 20-34 years old were substantially lower than for mid-career (aged 35-49) and older (aged 50-64) workers. There was little difference in median earnings between mid-career (aged 35-49) and older (aged 50-64) workers.

• Median earnings for all three groups were highest in the Long Island and Mid-Hudson Regions, and least in the North Country and Southern Tier Regions.

• For entry level workers (aged 20-34) the Mohawk Valley, North Country and Southern Tier Regions had the lowest median earnings, while Long Island and New York City Regions had the highest.

Language Proficiency by Age/Education/Region

• A small but substantial proportion of New York State residents of working age do not speak English well.

• The regions with the greatest proportion of working age persons who do not speak English well are New York City, Long Island, and Mid-Hudson.

• In New York City older working age persons are most likely to not speak English well, while for Long Island and Mid-Hudson it is the younger working age persons who are most likely to not speak English well.

• The color of the bars represents the educational attainment; the shading represents the language spoken at home and the capability to speak English. The darkest bars represent those that do not speak English well.

• If the percentage of the subgroup is less than 2.5%, the bar in the chart is not labeled. Bars that represent between 2.5% and 5% are labeled with a ~.

Veterans

• There are an estimated 450,000 veterans of working age in New York State and approximately 160,000 of them are living in New York City and Long Island.

• The North Country and Mohawk Valley have the highest percentages of the working age population that are veterans.

• Most veterans are male (94% in New York State). The highest percentage of female veterans can be found in the North Country where the largest military base in New York is located (Fort Drum).

U.S. Citizenship and Place of Birth

• The majority of all workers are US citizens by birth (72%), another 15% were born outside the US, but are naturalized and are now US citizens. 13% of workers are not US citizens.

• There are relatively fewer workers with US citizenship in the Food and Beverage manufacturing. • New York City, Mid-Hudson and Long Island are the regions with relatively the most non US

citizens in the Food and Beverage manufacturing. • Mexico is the most common country of birth outside the US for F & B manufacturing workers,

followed by the Dominican Republic and China. • On Long Island there are many workers in the F & B manufacturing born in El Salvador. • The ACS does not provide information on legal status. Those workers that are not US citizen can

be working and living here legally through a visa or can be here without proper documentation.

Appendix A: Industry Classifications The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) numbering system employs a six-digit code at the most detailed industry level. The first two digits designate the largest business sector, the third digit designates the subsector, the fourth digit designates the industry group, the fifth digit designates the NAICS industries, and the sixth digit designates the national industries. The table underneath lists the 3 digit NAICS codes for the manufacturing sector and the 4 digit codes within the Food and Beverage manufacturing industries. Throughout this chart book the Food and Beverage manufacturing refers to NAICS codes 311 and 312, other manufacturing to NIACS codes 313 through 339.

311 Food Manufacturing 3111 Animal Food Manufacturing 3112 Grain and Oilseed Milling 3113 Sugar and Confectionery Product Manufacturing 3114 Fruit and Vegetable Preserving and Specialty Food Manufacturing 3115 Dairy Product Manufacturing 3116 Animal Slaughtering and Processing 3117 Seafood Product Preparation and Packaging 3118 Bakeries and Tortilla Manufacturing 3119 Other Food Manufacturing

312 Beverage and Tobacco Product Manufacturing 3121 Beverage Manufacturing 3122 Tobacco Manufacturing

313 Textile Mills 314 Textile Product Mills 315 Apparel Manufacturing 316 Leather and Allied Product Manufacturing 321 Wood Product Manufacturing 322 Paper Manufacturing 323 Printing and Related Support Activities 324 Petroleum and Coal Products Manufacturing 325 Chemical Manufacturing 326 Plastics and Rubber Products Manufacturing 327 Nonmetallic Mineral Product Manufacturing 331 Primary Metal Manufacturing 332 Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing 333 Machinery Manufacturing 334 Computer and Electronic Product Manufacturing 335 Electrical Equipment, Appliance, and Component Manufacturing 336 Transportation Equipment Manufacturing 337 Furniture and Related Product Manufacturing 339 Miscellaneous Manufacturing
