Pair and compare two distinct gross domestic product industry sectors of your choosing to examine their relative importance and performance across all of Idaho's 44 county economies over 2017-2022. Contrast and assess, for example, the comparative importance of gross domestic product for the Information sector across the counties of Idaho against Retail Trade, or any other two sectors you elect to select.

Apply the interactive tools included in this module to conduct your own research about how any two industry sectors compare and contrast across the counties of Idaho. The analytical tools at your disposal for ranking and sorting the importance and growth of individual industry sectors across counties include: percent of total GDP locally, location quotients, percent of State total sector earnings, growth rates and growth rates differenced against overall averages locally and their counterparts nationwide.
