Initial identification of Job Hubs within Greater Cincinnati was based upon the aggregation of contiguous traffic analysis zones (TAZ) containing the top 5% of the region’s traded sector employment. Neighboring Job Hub clusters with similar spatial characteristics were combined by including TAZs containing the top 10% of traded sector employment.
Emerging Job Hubs were formed with TAZs containing the top 5% of traded sector employment but not meeting all of the conditions for a Job Hub designation along with consultation from local economic development leaders.
