What does the US Nonfarm Employment by State and Industry table measure?

It measures monthly nonfarm payroll employment in thousands of jobs across ten major industry supersectors for every state, Washington D.C., and Puerto Rico in the United States.

How often is this employment data published and when does the series start?

The data is published monthly by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and historical series begin in 1990.

What geographic and industrial breakdowns are included?

The table includes totals for all fifty states, Washington D.C., and Puerto Rico, with each area broken down into ten standard employment supersectors.

How does this employment count differ from household surveys?

Jobs in this table are counted by place of work using employer payroll records, unlike household surveys that count employed people by their place of residence.
