What these numbers cover
- Jobs reported to state unemployment insurance programs, about 95% of U.S. wage and salary jobs. Self-employed workers and proprietors are excluded; people with two jobs may be counted twice.
- Averages describe all employers combined and do not represent any single manufacturer. Where a subsector has few establishments or jobs, its averages can swing widely and are less representative.
- Not disclosed: BLS withheld the value to protect employer confidentiality. It is never shown as zero. No BLS data: BLS publishes no figures for that combination.
Calculations
- Share of U.S. = state value ÷ U.S. value.
- vs. U.S. = state value ÷ U.S. value − 1.
- Both inputs come from the same BLS file: same year, industry, and ownership. Not calculated when either value is withheld (shown as —).
- Location quotient is published by BLS: the industry's share of all local jobs (all industries and ownerships) divided by its share nationally.
