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.
