How is industry composition changing in your state, county or metropolitan areas of interest?
Use resources provided in this section to get answers to these types of questions.
The MacroView interactive ranking table presented below is based on quarterly data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
quarterly census of employment and wages.
Proximity integrates quarter to quarter data into a time-series structure and augments these data with related data
to enable situation and outlook analyses for counties, metros and regions.

Updates. This section is updated quarterly. The next quarterly update will be January 16, 2010.
The ranking table for each quarterly update is revised to show most recent quarter data availability compared to one year earlier.
The Proximity high level industry dataset contains time series data rather than data only two quarters. Quarterly and monthly data are maintained from January 2008
through most recent quarter for which data are available. There is a 6-to-7 month lag between the data reference date and date
of availability.

Scope of Features
The ranking table is designed as an end-use tool. That is, features to print a view, extract data, etc. are no provided.
For these features use the HLIA integrated software and dataset. Contact Proximity.
Data values
• Some employment/wage data are suppressed when one or two establishments dominate in a sector.
See suppression indicators under Column headings (above).
• Value of -9999 is used in employment change column where value could not be computed.
• Value of -9999.99 is used in employment percent change column where value could not be computed.
General Operations
Refresh page to view original settings (shows US summary at top of view).
State and OwnInd buttons can be used in combination.
Find Operation
Find button can be used to search for exact text in the first column.
• Use Show All button before using Find operation.
• For exact spelling of longer text, copy from column one and paste into Find search box.
• The form is designed so that if one area name (e.g., Galveston) is entered, the "profile" will show
sectors for this geographic area ... no scrolling can take place since the records have been filtered to just this
set of records/lines.
• To view just one area, make sure that the text spelling entered will make it unique. For example, entering just
"Harris" yields much more than just Harris County, Texas. Enter at least "Harris County, T" to view just Harris County, Texas.

Additional Details
All data are by place of work.
Data relate to establishments and employment covered by the unemployment insurance program.
Covered employment provided a virtual census (estimated to be 97 percent) of jobs on nonfarm payrolls.
The U.S. Economic Classification Policy Committee
has defined major economic sectors, or supersectors, as highly aggregated groupings of
NAICS sectors.
Supersectors, or high level industries, are used by Federal statistical agencies to tabulate data about business activity
and serve as a basis for analyzing more macro groupings of economic activity by type of business.
See details.
