Occupation Groups: “Deep Dives” Deep Dive: Management Occupations Figure 8. Concentration & Growth of Management Occupations, Chicago MSA, 2011-2021
Professional and business service occupations involved in the management of companies and enterprises are covered by the major occupational group 11-0000 (management occupations). Responsibilities in this occupation include strategic or organizational planning and decision making for a company or enterprise. Only one occupation related to green infrastructure is included in this group: construction managers. With a growth rate of 220% and a location quotient of 1.31, the occupation has a strong concentration in the Chicago MSA region.
As shown in Figure 4, over the last decade, this occupational group has grown steadily. The Chicago MSA’s employment growth rate has outpaced both the state and national rates. Notably, there was a high (73%) increase in employment from 2011 levels in 2018, a rapid increase from the steady 40% levels that both Illinois and Chicago had in 2017. While employment change saw a small reduction at the state and national levels in 2020, the industry appears to be steadily growing in all three regions as of 2021. Figure 9.
