| Box Elder County vs. Utah Comparative Trends Analysis: Total Industry Earnings Growth and Change, 1969-2022 Introduction Box Elder County: 2022 Earnings = $1,866,340K 2022 Percent of State = 1.26% Utah: 2022 Earnings = $147,787,924K 2022 Percent of U.S. = 0.97% 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 Box Elder 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 Box Elder County over time. When measured in current dollars, Box Elder County's total industry earnings increased 2,514.03%, from $71M in 1970 to $1,866M in 2022. When measured in constant 2017 dollars to adjust for inflation, it advanced 345.26%, from $361M in 1970 to $1,608M in 2022. Figure 2. Figure 2 traces Box Elder County's and Utah'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, Box Elder County's real total industry earnings rose from $352M in 1969 to $1,608M in 2022, for a net gain of $1,256M, or 356.33%. In comparison, Utah's real total industry earnings increased from $14,960M in 1969 to $127,356M in 2022, for a net advance of $112,396M, or 751.31%. Figure 3. Figure 3 portrays Box Elder County's real total industry earnings growth in a broader context by offering direct comparisons across time with Utah, 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. Box Elder County's overall real total industry earnings growth was 356.33% over 1969-2022 trailed Utah's increase of 751.31%, and topped the United States' increase of 278.59%. Figure 4. Another interesting and insightful way of comparing the total industry earnings growth of Box Elder County is to compare its individual percentage contributions to Utah'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 Utah's total industry earnings, while a declining share shows it grew more slowly. In 1969, Box Elder County's total industry earnings totaled 2.36% of Utah's total industry earnings, while in 2022 it equated to 1.26% thereby yielding a -1.09% share-shift. | | | | Total Industry Earnings Share-Shift 2022 vs. 1969 | Share- Shift* | | 2022 | vs. | 1969 | | -1.09% | = | 1.26% | - | 2.36% |

Figure 5. Figure 5 shows the short-run pattern of Box Elder 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 traced 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, Box Elder County's real total industry earnings grew at an annual rate of 3.02% over 1970-2022. The county recorded its highest growth in 1972 (13.02%) and recorded its lowest growth in 2011 (-10.11%). In 2022, Box Elder County's real total industry earnings grew by 4.22% 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 Box Elder County's real total industry earnings since 1970, but this time they are overlayed with average growth rates for the decade of the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, and 2020-2022. During the 1970s, Box Elder County's annual real total industry earnings growth rate averaged 4.76%. It averaged 5.93% in the 1980s, 1.31% in the 1990s, 1.04% during the 2000s, 1.19% in the 2010s, 5.91% thus far this decade (2020-2022). Figure 7. Figure 7 compares the decade average growth rates for Box Elder County noted in the previous graph with the corresponding decade averages for Utah and the nation. As the chart reveals, Box Elder County's average annual real total industry earnings growth amounted to less than Utah's average in the 1970s (4.76% vs. 5.55%), registered above Utah's average in the 1980s (5.93% vs. 2.51%), posted below Utah's average in the 1990s (1.31% vs. 5.74%), posted below Utah's average throughout the 2000s (1.04% vs. 2.64%), lagged Utah's average throughout the 2010s (1.19% vs. 4.32%), and outpaced Utah's average over the 3 year period of the current decade, 2020-2022 (5.91% vs. 4.25%). Finally, relative to nationwide real total industry earnings growth trends, Box Elder County registered above the nation over the 1970s (4.76% vs. 3.13%), surpassed the nation during the 1980s (5.93% vs. 2.62%), recorded underneath the nation throughout the 1990s (1.31% vs. 3.43%), fell under the nation throughout the 2000s (1.04% vs. 1.47%), lagged the nation throughout the 2010s (1.19% vs. 2.53%), and recorded above the nation over 2020-2022 (5.91% vs. 1.48%). | | | | Real* Total Industry Earnings Growth: Average Annual Percent Change | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 3.02 | 4.76 | 5.93 | 1.31 | 1.04 | 1.19 | 5.91 | 4.22 | | | 4.16 | 5.55 | 2.51 | 5.74 | 2.64 | 4.32 | 4.25 | 1.86 | | | 2.57 | 3.13 | 2.62 | 3.43 | 1.47 | 2.53 | 1.48 | 0.05 |
