Full and Part-time Employment by Major Industry, (CA25): Counties in the U.S., 1967-1999

<p>Table CA25 contains estimates of employment in Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Division ("one-digit") detail. Employment is measured as the average annual number of jobs, full-time plus part-time; each job that a person holds is counted at full weight. The estimates are largely by place of work. The estimates are organized both by type— wage and salary employment and self-employment— and by industry. The series by industry is for the combination of the two types of employment. These employment estimates correspond closely to the earnings estimates presented in Table CA05; however, the earnings estimates include the income of limited partnerships and of tax-exempt cooperatives, for which there are no corresponding employment estimates. The source data for BEA's wage and salary employment estimates are mainly from the ES-202 series of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The ES-202 series provides monthly employment and quarterly wages for each State and county in SIC four-digit detail. BEA restricts its release of local area estimates of wage and salary employment to the SIC Division ("one-digit") level because self-employment is estimated—- based mainly on data tabulated from individual and partnership Federal individual income tax returns—- at that level. The estimates are suppressed in many individual cases, using BLS primary and secondary suppressions, in order to preclude the disclosure of information about individual employers.</p>
