Zip codes of repondents were used to map the Available Labor
Pool. The map below shows how each zip code in the basin compares to all other
zip codes in terms of total available workers for a job in the Elkhorn Vally
Labor Basin. Each zip code is grouped into one of five categories specified
in the key. Not suprisingly, the zip codes with the highest levels of available
labor within the Elkhorn Valley Labor Basin are located around Norfolk and
Columbus, the two largest cities in the labor basin. However, a substantial
percentage of members of the Available Labor Pool also reside in Stanton and
Wayne counties.
