From December 2021 to March 2022, gross job gains from opening and expanding private-sector establishments in Missouri were 154,875, while gross job losses from closing and contracting private-sector establishments were 130,222, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Regional Commissioner Michael Hirniak noted that the difference between the number of gross job gains and the number of gross job losses yielded a net employment gain of 24,653 jobs in the private sector during the first quarter of 2022. During the previous quarter, gross job gains exceeded gross job losses by 43,250. (See chart 1.)
The change in the number of jobs over time is the net result of increases and decreases in employment that occur at all private businesses in the economy. Business Employment Dynamics (BED) statistics track these changes in employment at private-sector establishments from the third month of one quarter to the third month of the next. The difference between the number of gross job gains and the number of gross job losses is the net change in employment. (See Technical Note.)
Gross job gainsIn the first quarter of 2022, gross job gains represented 6.5 percent of private-sector employment in Missouri; nationally, gross job gains accounted for 6.6 percent of private-sector employment. (See chart 2.) Gross job gains are the sum of increases in employment due to expansions at existing establishments and the addition of new jobs at opening establishments. In Missouri, gross job gains at expanding establishments totaled 127,243 in the first quarter of 2022, a decrease of 11,262 jobs compared to the previous quarter. (See table 1.) Opening establishments accounted for 27,632 jobs gained in the first quarter of 2022, a decrease of 8,214 jobs from the previous quarter.
In the first quarter of 2022, gross job losses represented 5.4 percent of private-sector employment both in Missouri and nationally. (See chart 3.) Gross job losses are the result of contractions in employment at existing establishments and the loss of jobs at closing establishments. In Missouri, contracting establishments lost 106,678 jobs in the first quarter of 2022, an increase of 1,556 jobs from the prior quarter. Closing establishments lost 23,544 jobs, a decrease of 2,435 jobs from the previous quarter.
Gross job gains exceeded gross job losses in 10 of the 11 industry sectors in Missouri in the first quarter of 2022. Retail trade had the largest over-the-quarter net job increase, with a gain of 7,327 jobs. This was the result of 19,926 gross job gains and 12,599 gross job losses. The leisure and hospitality industry had the second largest over-the-quarter net job gain with 5,578 jobs, followed by manufacturing with 4,938 jobs. Transportation and warehousing showed a net loss of 2,495 jobs.
For more informationThe BED data series include gross job gains and gross job losses by industry subsector, for the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands, as well as gross job gains and gross job losses at the firm level by employer size class. BED data for the states have been included in table 2 of this release. Additional information is available online at www.bls.gov/bdm/.
The Business Employment Dynamics for Second Quarter 2022 are scheduled to be released on Wednesday, January 25, 2023.
The release of First Quarter 2022 Business Employment Dynamics data incorporates annual revisions in accordance with standard procedures. However, the current release, published on October 26, 2022, includes two years of revisions to not seasonally adjusted data, along with the customary five years of revisions to seasonally adjusted data. This temporary procedural change is to amend spikes in the openings and closings series for the education and health services sector in Washington caused by an administrative change.
The Business Employment Dynamics (BED) data are a product of a federal-state cooperative program known as Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW). The BED data are compiled by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) from existing QCEW records. Most employers in the U.S. are required to file quarterly reports on the employment and wages of workers covered by unemployment insurance (UI) laws, and to pay quarterly UI taxes. The QCEW is based largely on quarterly UI reports which are sent by businesses to the State Workforce Agencies (SWAs). These UI reports are supplemented by two additional BLS data collections to render administrative data into economic statistics. Together these data comprise the QCEW and form the basis of the Bureau’s establishment universe sampling frame.
In the BED program, the QCEW records are linked across quarters to provide a longitudinal history for each establishment. The linkage process allows the tracking of net employment changes at the establishment level, which in turn allows the estimation of jobs gained at opening and expanding units and jobs lost at closing and contracting units.
The change in the number of jobs over time is the net result of increases and decreases in employment that occur at all businesses in the economy. BED statistics track these changes in employment at private business establishments from the third month of one quarter to the third month of the next. Gross job gains are the sum of increases in employment from expansions at existing establishments and the addition of new jobs at opening establishments. Gross job losses are the result of contractions in employment at existing establishments and the loss of jobs at closing establishments. The difference between the number of gross jobs gained and the number of gross jobs lost is the net change in employment.
Gross job gains and gross job losses are expressed as rates by dividing their levels by the average of employment in the current and previous quarters. The rates are calculated for the components of gross job gains and gross job losses and then summed to form their respective totals. These rates can be added and subtracted just as their levels can. For instance, the difference between the gross job gains rate and the gross job losses rate is the net growth rate.
The formal definitions of employment changes are as follows:
Openings. These are either units with positive third month employment for the first time in the current quarter, with no links to the prior quarter, or with positive third month employment in the current quarter following zero employment in the previous quarter.
Expansions. These are units with positive employment in the third month in both the previous and current quarters, with a net increase in employment over this period.
Closings. These are units with positive third month employment in the previous quarter and either not reported, or reported with zero employment, in the current quarter.
Contractions. These are units with positive employment in the third month in both the previous and current quarters, with a net decrease in employment over this period.
The full Technical Note for the Business Employment Dynamics program, which includes information on coverage, concepts, and methodology, can be found in the current quarterly news release online at www.bls.gov/news.release/cewbd.htm.
