Boyle County Quarterly Employment Report: Q4, 2010
Based upon the confidential quarterly report provided to the Boyle County Industrial Foundation (BCIF),
the Danville/Boyle County Economic Development Partnership (EDP) presents to our Partners and
community stakeholders the following general employment data for Boyle County for Q4 2010 with
comparisons to the past quarter as well as to the previous two years.
INDUSTRIAL EMPLOYMENT: The BCIF monitored employment for 18 Boyle County industries that
employ 25 or more employees. Employment data among those industries is self-reported through the
Danville/Boyle County Industrial Council, composed of local industrial managers. Current and past quarter
employment levels are as follows:
Q4—2010 Q4—2010 Net Change
3,348 3,329 + 19
Q4 witnessed a level trend of employment at most local industries, resulting in a total increase of 337
industrial jobs since the end of Q1. Three (3) local industries continued strong employment growth as a
result of growing business volume and planned expansions in their operations. However, a level trend in
employment at other industries during the last quarter of 2010 resulted only in a small net gain in comparison
with Q3. The size of the gain was reduced by Red Wing Shoe Company’s planned employment reduction
while retaining its local operations.
Comparing the status of Boyle County’s industrial employment as of December 31, 2010, with previous
employment levels in 2009 and 2008, Q4 returned to a positive growth in jobs from 2009 and further cut into
the employment deficit since 2008:
Q4—2010 Q4—2009 Q4—2008 Net Changes

NON-INDUSTRIAL EMPLOYMENT: The BCIF tracks the self-reported employment of eleven (11)
non-industrial employers, in both private and public sectors, with over 100 employees. BCIF tracks health
care, retail, education, banking, government, and transportation sectors. Current and past quarter
employment levels are as follows. Q4 resulted in a gain in local non-industrial employment among these
larger employers.
