Sports Facility Construction and Local Construction Industry Employment in the Minneapolis-St Paul-Bloomington MN/WI MSA 1994-2019

This dataset was created for a project examining the relationship between sports playing facility construction and local construction industry employment in the Minneapolis-St Paul – Bloomington, MN/WI MSA in the United States. The main purpose of the project was to find evidence whether local construction industry employment is higher during periods when professional or major college sports playing facilities were being built. If construction employment is no higher or lower during periods of construction, playing facility construction projects may simply crowd out other construction projects. If construction employment is lower during periods of playing facility construction, these projects may crowd out other construction projects that would have employed more workers in construction firms.

本数据集专为一项研究项目编制，该项目旨在探究美国明尼苏达州-威斯康星州双城-布卢明顿都会统计区（Metropolitan Statistical Area，MSA）内体育赛事场馆建设与当地建筑业就业规模之间的关联。本项目的核心研究目标为，寻找相关实证依据以验证专业或顶尖大学体育场馆的建设期内，当地建筑业就业岗位是否会出现增长。若场馆建设期内建筑业就业未出现增长甚至有所下滑，则此类体育场馆建设项目仅会对其他建筑工程项目产生挤出效应；若场馆建设期内建筑业就业出现明显下滑，则此类项目将进一步挤出原本可由建筑企业吸纳更多劳动力的其他建筑工程项目。
