Linking Industries

Key Industries

Linking Industries

open_in_full

In addition to the other industry sectors, Sacramento demonstrates strength in five “Linking” industries. Linking industry sectors perform or engage in activities within all of the four key industries. Sacramento’s five linking industries include the following:

Advanced Manufacturing - About 5,000 jobs in activities such as motor vehicle parts, communications and equipment manufacturing are supported by the Advanced Manufacturing cluster. This industry’s core activities generally link all four key industry sectors identified.
Business and Financial Services - This industry sector is Sacramento’s second-largest sector in terms of employment. It possesses a high level of specialization and has a relatively large proportion of base employment.
Government - As the State’s Capital city, Sacramento’s largest industry structure by employment is Government. Government itself comprises over one-third of the city’s employment. Government supports multiple sectors and opportunities within the region.
Retail - Sacramento is surrounded by communities with retail establishments that draw resident spending. Data shows that retail leakages exist in nearly all major categories based on the gap between expected and actual retail spending activity. The largest leakage factors are shown in the Motor Vehicle & Parts Dealers and General Merchandise Stores categories. The only category with a retail surplus factor was Food Service & Drinking Places, reflecting the regional draw of these types of establishments in the city core.
Entertainment and Tourism - Noted in the top five California visitor markets, the Sacramento region generates $2.1 billion in tourism revenue, with 25 million visitors per year - $1.3 billion of that in retail, food and entertainment spending. Sacramento’s Downtown – a hub for convention and other events – brings in over 175,000 conventioneers, thousands of spectators, and well over $50 million in generated economic impacts annually. Sacramento’s Entertainment and Tourism market, coupled with its strong demographics, presents tremendous opportunities to capitalize on retail and business opportunities while supporting the city’s local economy.
