(Part a) Suppose the locational quotient for construction employment equals 1.25. When calculating the locational quotient, the local region was Cape. Girardeau County, MO. The national area was the United States. In words, interpret the meaning of this locational quotient value of 1.25 . (Part b) Suppose the locational quotient for construction employment is equal to 0.85 instead of 1.25 . Using the value of 0.85 , reanswer part (a). (Part c) Suppose a heavy cluster of construction employment improved the productivity of construction companies, but it had no effects on other industries.
