Annual summaries of industry employment data are available for the remaining MSAs and nonmetropolitan counties.
Historical data are available for both sources of data.
The results of these surveys are published in Staffing Patterns publications for groups of industries. Employment Outlook publications contain projections of industry and occupational employment.
