Comparative Trends Analysis:
Total Industry Earnings Growth and Change, 1969-2022
Introduction
SSD Region 10 vs. Georgia
SSD Region 10:
2022 Earnings = $9,416,899K
2022 Percent of State = 2.14%
Georgia:
2022 Earnings = $440,692,787K
2022 Percent of U.S. = 2.90%
Industry earnings are incomes received by people who are directly involved with producing goods and services. Earnings, referred to also as "labor and proprietors income", include (1) wage and salary disbursements, (2) other labor income such as employer contributions to private retirement and medical insurance programs, and (3) the net incomes of proprietors (i.e., the owners of unincorporated enterprises).
In contrast to the more frequently cited employment data, earnings data more accurately reflect qualitative differences in labor's contributions toward the production of goods and services, namely the productivity differences reflected in variations in earnings per job. Earnings data, therefore, are better for comparing and tracking long-term trends and identifying short-run shifts in the level and composition of economic activity within and among counties.
Just like the employment data compiled by BEA, earnings data are reported on a place-of-work, or more accurately on a place-where-earned, basis.
Note: the BEA earnings data presented and discussed here in the context of comparing and assessing the economic growth and performance of county and regional economies are entirely separate and apart from--and should not be confused with--corporate earnings, which are compiled from the balance sheets of individual private corporations.

Figure 1.
Figure 1 depicts SSD Region 10's annual total industry earnings over 1970-2022 in current and constant (2017) dollars. Constant dollar measurements remove the effects of inflation. They allow for comparison of changes in the real purchasing power of SSD Region 10 over time.
When measured in current dollars, SSD Region 10's total industry earnings increased 1,361.72%, from $644M in 1970 to $9,417M in 2022. When measured in constant 2017 dollars to adjust for inflation, it advanced 148.98%, from $3,259M in 1970 to $8,115M in 2022.

Figure 2.
Figure 2 traces SSD Region 10's and Georgia's annual real total industry earnings for the period 1969-2022 to illustrate real total industry earnings patterns over time. During this 54-year period, SSD Region 10's real total industry earnings rose from $3,109M in 1969 to $8,115M in 2022, for a net gain of $5,006M, or 161.00%. In comparison, Georgia's real total industry earnings advanced from $68,288M in 1969 to $379,767M in 2022, for a net gain of $311,478M, or 456.12%.

Figure 3.
Figure 3 portrays SSD Region 10's real total industry earnings growth in a broader context by offering direct comparisons across time with Georgia, the United States. The growth indices shown here express each region's real total industry earnings in 1969 as a base figure of 100, and the real total industry earningss in later years as a percentage of the 1969 base figure. This method allows for more direct comparison of differences in real total industry earnings growth between regions that may differ vastly in size.
SSD Region 10's overall real total industry earnings growth was 161.00% over 1969-2022 trailed Georgia's increase of 456.12%, and fell below the United States' increase of 278.59%.

Figure 4.
Another interesting and insightful way of comparing the total industry earnings growth of SSD Region 10 is to compare its individual percentage contributions to Georgia's statewide total industry earnings over time, as shown in Figure 4. A rising share means a region's total industry earnings grew faster, or declined less, than Georgia's total industry earnings, while a declining share shows it grew more slowly.
In 1969, SSD Region 10's total industry earnings totaled 4.55% of Georgia's total industry earnings, while in 2022 it equated to 2.14% thereby yielding a -2.42% share-shift.

Figure 5.
Figure 5 displays the short-run pattern of SSD Region 10's real total industry earnings growth by tracking the year-to-year percent change over 1970-2022. The average annual percent change for the entire 53-year period is also traced on this chart to provide a benchmark for gauging periods of relative high--and relative low--growth against the backdrop of the long-term average.
On average, SSD Region 10's real total industry earnings grew at an annual rate of 1.91% over 1970-2022. SSD Region 10 posted its highest growth in 1973 (13.45%) and posted its lowest growth in 1980 (-7.90%). In 2022, SSD Region 10's real total industry earnings declined by -2.16%

Figure 6.
Over the past five decades some custom regions have experienced extreme swings in growth, and often such swings have tended to coincide with the decades themselves. Figure 6 again illustrates the annual percent change in SSD Region 10's real total industry earnings since 1970, but this time they are displayed with average growth rates for the decade of the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, and 2020-2022.
During the 1970s, SSD Region 10's annual real total industry earnings growth rate averaged 4.09%. It averaged 1.78% during the 1980s, 3.16% in the 1990s, 0.17% during the 2000s, 0.49% in the 2010s, 1.43% thus far this decade (2020-2022).

Figure 7.
Figure 7 compares the decade average growth rates for SSD Region 10 noted in the previous graph with the corresponding decade averages for Georgia and the nation. As the chart reveals, SSD Region 10's average annual real total industry earnings growth registered above Georgia's average throughout the 1970s (4.09% vs. 3.86%), posted below Georgia's average in the 1980s (1.78% vs. 4.31%), trailed Georgia's average throughout the 1990s (3.16% vs. 5.06%), trailed Georgia's average throughout the 2000s (0.17% vs. 1.13%), amounted to less than Georgia's average during the 2010s (0.49% vs. 2.86%), and fell below Georgia's average over the 3 year period of the current decade, 2020-2022 (1.43% vs. 1.62%).
Finally, relative to nationwide real total industry earnings growth trends, SSD Region 10 outpaced the nation in the 1970s (4.09% vs. 3.13%), trailed the nation during the 1980s (1.78% vs. 2.62%), posted below the nation in the 1990s (3.16% vs. 3.43%), fell below the nation in the 2000s (0.17% vs. 1.47%), posted below the nation over the 2010s (0.49% vs. 2.53%), and trailed the nation over 2020-2022 (1.43% vs. 1.48%).
