California's 2006 Statewide Diversion Rate Estimate

Figure 1: Employment Percent Change in Employment by Industry, 2005–2006 and 2000–2006*

This is the first of three figures referenced in California's 2006 Statewide Diversion Rate Estimate. The 2006 increase in disposal was less than in the prior year. California's residential construction activity decline in 2006 may have contributed to this slower increase in disposal. Staff analysis shows there is a relationship between disposal tonnage and construction activity. California's construction industry, one of twelve employment sectors, had the second highest employment increase during 2006. While total industry employment for 2006 increased about 1.9 percent, construction employment increased about 5.5 percent.
