Thesis (M.S.)--Morehead State University, 2013.

One major issue concerning today's economy in Kentucky and even in the United States, is available work for people utilizing their learned skills from the previous employment in manufacturing processes or education gained in the field. Since the Industrial Revolution after the Civil War when people began understanding the generation of electricity, manipulating iron into steel, and processing oil into consumables for mechanization, manufacturing has been a major contributor of employment for families across this great land. Five years after the Financial Crisis of 2008, unemployment rates are still hovering around 8% in Kentucky as job creation has stumbled and manufacturing jobs are dissipating to other regions, states, and even other countries for different reasons. This phenomenon is magnified exponentially in areas such as Eastern Kentucky and the foothills of Appalachia, where opportunities for workers are lessened due to a lack of infrastructure, existing industry and product lines available to manufacture in the area. This thesis presents the analysis of the skill set of the existing workforce to propose an approach for relocating product lines for manufacturing through new start-ups and expansion of existing companies into the Eastern Kentucky area that will match the skills needed for the product lines, therefore supporting the efforts in creating jobs and promoting economic development for the region. The analysis has the potential to assist economic development in the region in many ways for the workforce and general population. It will lay the groundwork necessary to enhance the understanding of the potential of the workforce so further studies may be developed therefore creating more opportunities for the region through additional infrastructure such as highways and bridges, education at all levels from high school to universities, and government agencies such as the Economic Development Cabinet.
