The employment data represents total full-time and part-time employment for year 2015 including both
wage and salary jobs, as well as self-employed jobs. The estimates are approximately equivalent to
employment data as defined by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA). For more information about BEA’s
job definitions, see section VIII (Employment) in BEA’s Local Area Personal Income Methodology).
This map only displays select industry sectors. However, “Total Jobs” represents jobs in all sectors including those not listed in our industry sector filter. The sectors generally follow the North American Industry
