2007 County Data

I am revisiting some analysis I did a while ago using 2007 data for two counties in Texas (Nolan and Taylor) using the previous IMPLAN Prof software. It appears the induced multipliers for these counties are higher than the state induced multipliers. This doesn't seem right. Were there any reported errors in these data sets? Thoughts?

The state industry relationships are the weighted average of the counties that make up the state. If the labor income per worker for the two counties for the industry you are impacting is higher than the same industry at the state level, the the induced effect has a chance to be higher.
