Lastly the report analyses some economic indicators that would help explain the changes of the industry structure of the region. For the eight sectors under study, agriculture, mining, electricity and services (business) have an apparent competitive advantage with value added as the data base . On the other hand , using employment as the indicator five sectors Delong to t his category. These sectors were mining, manufacturing , transport, commerce and services (personal) . Except for construction all the other sectors have a greater probability of generating more employment in the region than for the sectors outside the region.
