The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is used to classify and measure economic activity by business sector and industry based upon the establishment's primary activity.

 

FTE: Full Time Equivalent; Forty hours per week is full time or 1.0 FTE. Twenty hours per week is half time or .50 FTE.

 

NOTE: This table lists firms currently in this county, and currently producing component parts in the same NAICS codes as parts needed to manufacture equipment that produces renewable energy. These firms would be poised to modify their production slightly, to begin producing component parts for renewable energy equipment. The projected jobs and investment assume that these Ohio firms would continue to serve the same proportion of the new market as they currently serve in the existing market.
