13 Workforce Supply & Demand Model Summary Methodology SSG conducted a LaborCast Analysis which is a workforce supply & demand model that assesses the surplus/deficit of workers at specific wage rates in a given geography. The model projects out 10 years. The engineering occupation cluster assessed by the model includes the same occupation titles noted on slide 4. The geography used was a 90 mile radius from Marcy, NY. The model takes the following into consideration: Net occupation growth/decline year to year Current market wages for key occupations Year to year wage escalator Client attrition rates Competitor attrition rates Applicant to hire ratios The model provides the minimum wage that can be paid to hire the needed headcount for the target occupations. 13 Source: Site Selection Group, LLC

14 Workforce Supply & Demand Model Summary Engineering Occupation Cluster It would require a wage of $38.25 to hire 550 target engineers in year 1 That wage would last 10+ years in the market 14 Source: Site Selection Group, LLC

19 Regional Employer Interview Scorecard General Labor Quality Measures Each employer interviewed answered the following questions on a 1 5 scale (1 = not favorable, 5 = very favorable). The scores in the table below represent the average of the responses. LABOR QUALITY MEASURES SCORE Employee turnover 4.35 Employee absenteeism 4.30 Ability to operate 24/7/ Ability to fill out and operate 2nd shift 4.00 Ability to fill out and operate 3rd shift 3.75 Ability to fill out weekend shifts 4.15 Willingness to work overtime 4.20 Availability of qualified temporary services 4.50 Ability operate without union organization 4.30 Ability of candidates to satisfy pre employment screening requirements 3.80 Educational attainment of applicants 4.00 Employee reading, writing and arithmetic skills 4.15 Critical Reasoning skills 4.15 Teamwork skills 4.15 Employee productivity 4.40 Employee reliability 4.90 Flexibility/adapt to change 3.75 Ability to understand and carry out work instructions promptly and accurately 4.00 Ability to understand and achieve goals and objectives 4.50 Employee overall work ethic

20 Regional Employer Interviews Anecdotal Data & Comments Labor Availability The Region has along standing manufacturing tradition with a very well educated workforce rich in manufacturing technology and operating skills at competitive prices. All employers confirmed their abilities to operate 24/7/365 (including shifts of 8, 10 and 12 hours), fill out all shifts with relative ease (including weekends) and satisfy overtime requirements. All employers interviewed affirmed the Region's capacity to supply the required numbers of entry level engineers, technicians, machine and tool operators and shared service administrators immediately and those with experience during the 3 5 year ramp up. All pointed to their confidence in the Region's long term labor supply. Labor Quality The Region's workers are well schooled in the importance of work ethic, basic skills mastery, teamwork, goal orientation, productivity and reliability. Preferred employers in the region conduct rigorous pre employment screenings that produce 3 4 qualified candidates for each available position. Education & Workforce System Entry level engineering and technical skills flow largely from engineering and technology programs at SUNY IT, RIT, RPI, Clarkson and Syracuse to a lesser extent. Employers recruit from Cornell (salary expectations are well above market), SUNY Albany, Worcester Polytechnic, Amherst, Western New England and numerous national sources. Manufacturing technicians and NC operating specialists upgrade and enhance their industrial skills through market proven, associate degree and certificate programs at regional institutions such as Mohawk Valley Community Colleges, Monroe, Herkimer, Hudson Valley, Schenectady, Onondaga, Oneida, North Country and numerous others. Workforce Solutions for the three county region served 10,000 people that were unemployed and/or underemployed Commuting Patterns Workers commute primarily across a 60 mile radius that extends from Binghamton to Watertown and Schenectady to Auburn & Syracuse. New York's highway system and current population concentrations facilitate the 60 mile commute radius and enable reaching out to 90 miles although that distance increases competition as it increases labor force. Additional employees reside in Albany, Troy, Saratoga Springs and Ithaca, although workers traveling from these areas tend to relocate to Mohawk Valley after 2 3 years tenure. Miscellaneous Industrial union activity is virtually non existent with those companies who are organized having operated with their current unions for 6 decades or more in the metals fabrication, service center, forging and related sectors. All employers emphasized the strength of the region's support service base and the high quality of temporary services that supply industrial workers. 20

21 21 APPENDIX

22 Appendix Definitions and Explanation of Analyses Workforce & Education Definitions Entry Level Jobs defined as the amount of annual available jobs to be filled by those entering the labor force after graduating from a post secondary education institution. The metric is calculated by multiplying the total number of workers in a particular category by the percent of jobs typically filled by entry level workers on an annual basis. The percentage is estimated through the intelligence gathered through employer interviews as well as O Net. Graduate Surplus equals the number of annual graduates in specific programs at various attainment levels less the number of corresponding entry level jobs. Community Benchmark Analysis Critical workforce data variables were pulled for all 65 metropolitan statistical areas with a population over 100,000 in the four benchmark states, as well as a 90 mile radius around Marcy, NY. Those variables are intended to provide a workforce availability and cost comparison, and include indicators that measure labor scalability, target age groups, income levels, education attainment, target occupations, post secondary education institution output, wages and salaries, cost of living, and household income. Each MSA is classified into one of four tiers based on population (tier 1 = 1,000,000+; tier 2 = 500, ,999; tier 3 = 250, ,999; tier 4 = 100, ,999). The statistics for each MSA are only scored against other MSA s in its respective tier. An index for each variable is created on a 0% 200% scale where 100% is considered to be tier average. Indexes for Labor Availability and Labor Cost are created utilizing the variables & weightings presented on slide 10. A Total Index is created with a weighting of 75% Labor Availability and 25% Labor Cost. Any index over 100% in any category is considered to be above tier average. Ideal communities will score above 100% in both Labor Availability and Labor Cost. Workforce Supply & Demand Analysis LaborCast SSG uses its proprietary workforce supply & demand model to identify the target wage needed to hire the projected engineering headcount in the first year. The model also project the supply of target engineers within a 90 mile radius of Marcy, NY over 10 years at that wage. The model is dynamic in the sense that one can adjust the headcounts and/or wage to see how market longevity is affected. The model takes into consideration net growth of the occupation cluster, labor force growth, current market wage structure, applicant to hire ratios, and estimated market attrition rates. 22
