3.Click the drop-down menu for Pre-defined Lists and select All U.S. MSA Regions for the Comparison Cities. See note.

5.In the Sectors dialog, click on a Sector to display the NAICS Sector number and Description. See note.

6.Select a Sector.

Note: Currently, Sector analysis is only available for a select set of sectors in the Cost of Labor List using United States Average as the Base Location and the All U.S. MSA Regions Pre-defined List as Comparison Cities. ERI plans on expanding the set of sectors available in the future.
