Project:
Industry, Jobs & Wages

This section provides information about the sector(s) and jobs that are part of this project. The first set of questions pertains to direct jobs created and/or retained.

Using the pull down menus below, please select the industry or industries that are a part of this project. You can enter information for up to 5 sectors (industries). If your project includes more than 5 industries, please select the top 5 by number of direct jobs created or retained. If this is an infrastructure investment directly serving an economic development project (e.g., road to tech park, water treatment for manufacturing facility) please enter the industry or industries and jobs for the project that the infrastructure is designed to serve.

NAICS code information can be found at http://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/sssd/naics/naicsrch?chart=2012.

For each project industry identified, enter the number of direct jobs created and/or retained when the project is complete. This figure includes part-time and seasonal employees. Enter jobs as FTE (full-time equivalents), which is based on a 40 hour per week workload (2080 hours per year). An employee working 20 hours per week is considered .50 FTE, while two employees each working 20 hours per week equal 1.0 FTE. If your project includes more than five industries please note that in our feedback survey so we can consider adjustments to future upgrades to the tool. Do not include construction jobs, as those are counted elsewhere.

The TBL Tool uses national data sets to determine whether a project is located in or near a sensitive natural resource. These data sets may have limitations in coverage or currency so it is important that you confirm the accuracy of this information. Please refer to the map above and verify whether your project is located in or near a sensitive natural resource and, if so, whether potential impacts have been addressed.

TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE REPORT FOR:
Legend Definition
76-100 Project appears to be strongly aligned with TBL goals.
51-75 Project appears to be moderately aligned with TBL goals.
26-50 Project appears to be weakly aligned with TBL goals.
0-25 Project appears to be poorly aligned with TBL goals.
Note: The following is a report of project information entered to date. TBL scores are generated when all project information has been entered.
The following summary report provides scores for each of the three Triple Bottom Line goals and their performance areas. When applying these results, keep in mind that the TBL Tool is most useful for identifying potential strengths and weaknesses of a project and exploring areas for improvement. Scores provide a general indication of how well a project is configured for TBL performance. It is important to consider the details behind a score; for example, two projects with the same score may differ in the type or magnitude of impact. Detailed scores and project information are provided in the full project report; items warranting further attention are listed in the due diligence report. Additional information about measures and scoring can be found in the TBL Tool User's Guide.

TBL SCORES AND PROJECT INFORMATION:

The following project report provides scores for each of the three Triple Bottom Line goals, as well as performance areas and measures. Project information is provided along with scores. The "Due Diligence" report provides a list of items that have been identified as completed, due to be completed, or warranting further attention. A legend is provided to help interpret the scores.

The score for each TBL goal (economic vitality, natural resource stewardship, community well-being) is computed by taking the average of its performance area scores, and each performance area score is computed by taking the average of its measure scores. All scores are based on a scale of 0 - 100, indicating the degree of alignment or accomplishment. The tool does not explicitly weight measures; however, implicit weighting occurs because the relative weight of each measure varies depending upon how many measures are grouped in a performance area (e.g., a measure carries more "weight" if a performance area score is the average of three measures rather than ten measures).

When applying these results, keep in mind that the TBL Tool is most useful for identifying potential strengths and weaknesses of a project and exploring areas for improvement. Scores provide a general indication of how well a project is configured for triple bottom line performance. It is important to consider the details behind a score; for example, two projects with the same score may differ in the type or magnitude of impact. Further, users may wish to look more deeply at measures that are particularly important to their community or context. Additional information about measures and scoring can be found in the TBL Tool User's Guide.
