One way to screen in this manner <br />involves identifying sectors that grew at a rate that exceeded the economic growth rate for <br />the region overall (positive proportional shift) and also showed a positive differential shift. <br />indicating that locally, the industry performed even better than it did in the region. Sectors <br />meeting these criteria are shown in Table A-3, beloH. <br />77 <br />c <br />
