Full-Time and Part-Time Wage and Salary Employment by Industry (SA27): States and Regions in the U.S., 1969-1997

<p>Table SA27 presents estimates of wage and salary employment in Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) two-digit detail. Employment is measured as the average annual number of jobs, full-time plus part-time, by place of work; each wage and salary job that a person holds is counted at full weight. (For estimates of employment that include self-employment, see Table SA25.) The State estimates of wage and salary employment correspond very closely to the estimates of wages and salaries presented in Table SA07 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 estimates of wage and salary employment to the SIC Division ("one-digit") and two-digit levels and suppresses these estimates in many individual cases in order to preclude the disclosure of information about individual employers.</p>
