Full-Time and Part-Time Employment by Industry (SA25): States and Regions in the U.S., 1969-1997

<p>Table SA25 contains estimates of employment in Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) two-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 SA05; however, the earnings estimates include the income of limited partnerships and of tax-exempt cooperatives, for which there are no corresponding employment estimates. (For wage and salary employment by industry, see Table SA27; for self-employment by industry, subtract the Table SA27 data from the Table SA25 data.) 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 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 in order to preclude the disclosure of information about individual employers.</p>
