In 2010, the service <br />industry accounted for the largest sector, followed by manufacturing; retail and warehousing, <br />transportation, and utilities. One noticeable trend that has been occurring over the last 15 years is the <br />decline of manufacturing jobs in the City. In 1991, 56 percent of all jobs in the City were related to <br />manufacturing. In 2002, the number of jobs in manufacturing dropped to 28 percent. Manufacturing <br />continues to decrease in the City. This trend likely reflects the diminished presence of jobs with Boeing <br />and other manufacturing firms in the City industrial areas. Manufacturing jobs tend to pay higher than <br />jobs in the service and retail sectors. <br />Employment in the City is largely clustered in the Southcenter area of the City and the North Tukwila <br />Manufacturing Industrial Center (MIC). <br />Major Employment Districts of the City <br />District <br />Acreage <br />% of Total <br />City Area <br />Total # of <br />Businesses <br />Total <br />Number of <br />Jobs <br />% of jobs <br />in the <br />City. <br />Jobs Per <br />Acre. <br />Job Losses <br />and Gains <br />between <br />2000 and <br />2010 <br />Southcenter <br />Area <br />847 acres <br />13.9% <br />771 <br />17,399 <br />40% <br />20.54 <br />North <br />Tukwila MIC <br />961 acres <br />15.8% <br />147 <br />13,499 <br />31% <br />14.04 <br />Source: PSRC's Regional Centers Monitoring Report, 2013 Edition. <br />6 <br />Economic Development Background Memo <br />
