Table SA25 -- Total Full-time and Part-time Employment by Industry

  Table SA25 contains estimates of employment in Standard Industrial
Classification (SIC) two-digit detail. Employment is measured as the
average annual number of jobs, full-time plus part-time; each job
that a person holds is counted at full weight. The estimates are
largely by place of work. The estimates are organized both by type—
wage and salary employment and self-employment— and by industry. The
series by industry is for the combination of the two types of
employment. These employment estimates correspond closely to the
earnings estimates presented in Table SA05; however, the earnings
estimates include the income of limited partnerships and of
tax-exempt cooperatives, for which there are no corresponding
employment estimates. (For wage and salary employment by industry,
see Table SA27; for self-employment by industry, subtract the Table
SA27 data from the Table SA25 data.)

  The source data for BEA's wage and salary employment estimates are
mainly from the ES-202 series of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The
ES-202 series provides monthly employment and quarterly wages for
each State (and county) in SIC four-digit detail. BEA restricts its
estimates of wage and salary employment to the SIC Division
("one-digit") and two-digit levels because self-employment is
estimated—- based mainly on data tabulated from individual and
partnership Federal individual income tax returns—- at that level.
The estimates are suppressed in many individual cases in order to
preclude the disclosure of information about individual employers.
