Introduction

The employment by industry method is a nationally recognized system of reporting monthly employment. Employment by industry data reflect jobs by "place of work". �That is, jobs located in the county or the Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) that pay wages and salaries are counted although workers may live outside the area. �Jobs are counted regardless of the number of hours worked. �Multiple jobholders (i.e., individuals who hold more than one job) may be counted more than once.� Self-employed, unpaid family workers, and private household employees are not included. �Industries are classified according to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

For information on NAICS and the conversion from the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) to NAICS.
