Excellent as always!
Hello shikibobo-ga,
Thank you. I would be happy to do this research for you. However, due
to my limited time available to work on it, it may take me 2 or 3 days
to complete it. If this will be a problem for you, then it would
probably be best for me to leave it for another researcher. Let me
know what you would like to do.

7 day turnaround is fine on this. Thanks googlenut!
Hello shikibobo-ga,
Omaha?s economy is largely service based. The service sector accounts
for nearly 40 percent of total employment. Other key sectors are
trade, transportation and utilities (TTU) and finance, insurance and
real estate (FIRE).
The largest employer in the Omaha metropolitan area is Offutt Air
Force Base. The base employs more than 10,000 military and civilian
workers. The next largest is Alegent Health with approximately 7,500
employees, followed by Omaha Public Schools and First Data Corporation
each with approximately 7,000 employees.

?The service sector provides a stable employment base accounting for
38.8 percent of total employment. Services and trade combined,
comprise just over 62 percent of the metro area's employment, which
reflects the city?s status as a regional service and trade center.
Omaha has a higher concentration of its employment in finance,
insurance and real estate (FIRE), trade, transportation and utilities
(TTU) and services than the U.S. does on average. This is offset by a
relatively smaller share of total employment in the manufacturing,
construction and government sectors. The construction sector led the
way in employment growth in the metro area with employment of 24,582
in 2003. Within the service sector, education and health services
posted the second fastest growth with total employment of 55,382.
During 2003, total employment within the service sector averaged
167,249. About half of all new jobs added were service sector jobs.
Many are business services in computer and data processing,
telemarketing, advertising and health services.?
---
?Historically, one of the area's fastest growing industry sectors has
been services. The service sector encompasses a wide variety of
businesses. During 2003, over one-third of all service sector jobs in
Omaha were in the business services category. Companies in the
business service category include computer and data processing,
information technology, telemarketing, and various other business
services. Another large category in the services sector is health
services, accounting for over 27 percent of all service jobs,
underscoring the Omaha area's importance as a regional, and in some
cases, national medical center.?

SELLING TAX CUTS
May 12, 2003
Kwame Holman reports on President Bush's tax cut road show
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/economy/jan-june03/taxcut_05-12.html
?KWAME HOLMAN: Louis Burgher, president of Omaha's Chamber of
Commerce, said many cities could use additional financial help, but
that Omaha is doing pretty well without it.
LOUIS BURGHER: We see about a 5 percent year-to- year increase in
housing starts, construction. We're completing $2 billion in building
in downtown Omaha. We've had a real renaissance along the waterfront.
So construction is strong. Omaha is largely a service-based economy,
not a lot of manufacturing, so we tend to not see the highs and the
lows, and things have been fairly stable.?

?A Diverse Economy
Perhaps the key to Omaha's success is its recession proof economy.
Since its founding in 1856, Omaha has been a major hub of commercial
activity. Because of its diverse economic base, Omaha has survived all
of the recessions that hurt so many of the other Midwest cities. Apart
from its status as the nation's telecommunications capital, Omaha's
economy includes agriculture, food processing, insurance,
transportation, healthcare and education. Warren Buffet of Berkshire
Hathaway makes his home in Omaha, as do Con Agra, Union Pacific
Railroad and Mutual of Omaha Companies, all Fortune 500 Corporations.?

most of it located in Omaha.?
