<br />Counties." Website: http: /rnfo.neded.om /stathand /asectl.htm. 1999.
<br />The 1996 annual payroll by county and industry for the nine county study area is summarized in
<br />Table 2.1 -2. Agriculture and government services are not included in this table. Manufacturing
<br />and services were the largest of the non - agricultural / non - governmental sectors in Adams,
<br />Buffalo, Dawson, Hall, Merrick and Phelps Counties. The largest sectors in Hamilton County
<br />were manufacturing and wholesale trade. The largest sectors in Kearney County were services
<br />and wholesale trade. Gosper County had a relatively small non - agricultural / non - governmental
<br />payroll in 1996 of $2.8 million and it appears that the largest such sectors in this county were
<br />finance, insurance, and real estate; services and construction.
