The employment estimates compiled by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) measure the number
of full- and part-time employees, plus the number of proprietors of unincorporated businesses. People
holding more than one job are counted in the employment estimates for each job they hold. This
means BEA employment estimates represent a job count, not a number-of-people employed count. Also,
BEA employment esitmates are by place-of-work, rather than by place-of-residence.
