Description of Data Files:

Current Month Employment:

A descriptive analysis or "press release narrative" for the current month. These narratives are available for major MSA or MD only.

Employment data by industry (based on the North American Industry Classification System or NAICS). Compares the current month with the previous two months and the corresponding month one year ago. Note: the table may be for the single county or for the multi–county MSA or MD which contains the county, not the individual county. See the Employment by Industry Method for more information on how these data are developed.

Historical Employment Data:

NOTE: The "Total, All Industries" data shown under "Employment by Industry" are NOT directly comparable to the "Employment" data found in the "Labor Force" data. See the explanation of the difference for more information. A complete description of the Methods for Labor Force Estimates is also available.
Monthly Data: Monthly employment data by industry (based on the North American Industry Classification System or NAICS). Data covers the time period shown. Note: "(MSA)" or "(MD)" indicates the data are for a multi-county MSA or MD only, not the individual county. Data are provided in an Excel format. See the Employment by Industry Method for more information on how these data are developed.

Annual Average: Annual average employment data by industry (based on the North American Industry Classification System or NAICS). Data covers the time period shown. Note: "(MSA)" or "(MD)" indicates the data are for a multi-county MSA or MD, not the individual county. Seasonally adjusted data are available for California only. Data are provided in an Excel format. See the Employment by Industry Method for more information on how these data are developed.
