Rankings

Definition

Average annual number of full-time and part-time jobs located in a place, wage and salary jobs plus proprietors (self-employed and partners), farm and nonfarm. United States: Bureau of Economic Analysis regional accounts, table SAINC4 line 7010, nation and states.

Counts jobs, not people: someone with two jobs counts twice, and jobs are counted where they are, not where the worker lives. Broader than oews_employment, which leaves out the self-employed and farm workers. BEA stopped publishing county employment after 2022, so there is no county level.
