What this measure is
The change in the number of jobs over the past year: the latest quarter against the same quarter a year earlier, all industries. It comes from a near-complete count of jobs from employers' unemployment-insurance tax filings, which covers about 95% of jobs but not most self-employed people. Jobs are counted where people work, not where they live, and the latest quarter is preliminary.
