“…Ref. [41] found that the job-multiplier in commuting zones ranges from 1.7 to 2.9, depending upon the existence of high-tech clusters. This means that for every 100 new jobs created in high-tech sectors, 70 to 190 additional local jobs (including semi-skilled and unskilled) would be created in the regional unit.…”

This paper explores the role of local labor market dynamics on the survival of new businesses. The characteristics of the local labor market are likely to influence the survival of new businesses, the level of entrepreneurship, and the resilience of the regional economy. We apply portfolio theory to evaluate employment-based and income-based measures of risk-and-return trade-offs in local labor markets on new business survival in the United States. Our results show that volatility in local labor markets has a positive impact on new business survival, especially in Metropolitan Statistical Areas. The results are robust across different timeframes, including during economic downturns, thus highlighting the contribution of new businesses in developing the resilience of the local economy, and further promoting sustainable regional economic development.

The Stránská skála-type chert is a local Moravian chert of Jurassic age, which is available only within a limited area restricted to the Stránská skála rock outcrop and secondary sources in nearby gravels. As this raw material has been well-studied petrographically, its distribution is easy to trace. Its use and proportions within individual archaeological assemblages in particular vary over time -ranging from the dominant raw material during several chrono-cultural periods to a complete absence of this raw material in other periods. Periods of significant use include the Initial and Early Upper Palaeolithic, Late Neolithic and Early Eneolithic. Less pronounced evidence of distribution is also known from the Late/ Final Eneolithic and from the Early Bronze Age. Periods of no use include the Middle to Late Upper Palaeolithic, Early -Middle Neolithic and Middle Eneolithic. This raw material was mostly used locally with a limited distribution -the maximum extent of its occurrence is a few tens of kilometres from the source outcrop. The Stránská skála-type chert should be accepted as a fossile directeur sensu lato thanks to its easy determination and the isolation of the outcrop in combination with the techno-typological analysis.

This raw material (and the Brno Basin itself) went almost completely unnoticed during the Mid Upper Palaeolithic (Gravettian), Late Upper Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and Early/Middle Neolithic (LBK, STK; Fig. 2). M AT ER I ALS A N D MET HODSAs mentioned above, the Stránská skála-type chert comprises characteristic features within its texture, including whitish enclosures (fragments of microfossiles), dark sponge spicules, rectangular cavities after dissolved crinoidal segments and banding. Although some of the features mentioned above allow the identification of this material on the macroscopic level, stereomicroscopy using immersion liquid provides an even more precise diagnosi...
