The inhabitants are primarily engaged in agriculture. In the fall of 1959, it was reported that 1, 507 workers were engaged in agriculture within Bath County. In September 1962 there were 135 individuals employed in all industries, excluding agriculture. Of this group the greatest portion was engaged in wholesale and retail trade. -3- Wage rates are well below the state average in Bath County. The average weekly earnings during 1961 were $57.02 for all industries and $45.99 for manufacturing. During this same period, the state average was $83.44 for all industries and $96.07 for manufacturing. The I960 per capita income for Bath County was $1, 018, which was below the state average of $1, 573. During the same year, Bath County ranked 69th among Kentucky's 120 counties in per capita income, and Kentucky ranked 46th among the 50 states. * Retail sales in Bath County during 1962 totaled $5, 307, 000. ** Labor Market Supply Area: The Owingsville labor supply area is defined for the purpose of this statement to include Bath and the adjacent counties of Bourbon, Fleming, Menifee, Montgomery, Nicholas, and Rowan. Labor Potential Defined; The total estimated labor supply is composed of three major groups. The first two are currently available for industrial employment, the third group describes the potential for future years. 1. The current unemployed, measured here by unemployment insurance claimants. 2. Men who would shift from low paying jobs such as agriculture and women who would enter the labor force if jobs were available. 3. The future labor supply due- to aging of the population and measured here by the number of boys and girls becoming 18 years of age during the 1960's. Numbers Available: According to the Bureau of Census, the I960 population of the Owingsville area was 75, 404, which was a decrease since the 1950 census count of 78, 187 persons. The total estimated to be currently available for industrial employment includes 1, 403 males and 1, 859 females. Their distribution is shown in Table 2. *Personal Income in Kentucky Counties, 1958-1960 *'!«Sales Management, Survey of Buying Power, June 10, 1963 -4- TABLE 2 DISTRIBUTION OF THE CURRENT ESTIMATED LABOR SUPPLY WITH COMPONENTS, OWINGSVILLE AREA, JUNE, 1963* Total Labor Supply** Unemployed Male Female T otal Male Female Male Female Area Total: 2. 053 2,594 4, 647 1, 834 2,479 219 115 Bath 330 458 788 308 452 22 6 Bourbon 126 389 515 68 334 58 55 Fleming 325 465 790 313 461 12 4 Menifee 333 210 543 317 205 16 5 Montgomery 289 337 626 239 316 50 21 Nicholas 198 213 411 188 204 10 9 Rowan 452 522 974 401 507 51 15 Future Labor Supply: The future labor supply will include some proportion of the 7,818 boys and 7, 185 girls who will become 18 years of age by 1970. To arrive at the exact number that would enter the area work force would be impossible. Probably the most influential internal factor would be the type of local employment available. The area distribution of these children is shown in Table 3. TABLE 3 DISTRIBUTION OF THE FUTURE LABOR SUPPLY, OWINGSVILLE AREA, BASED ON I960 U. S.
