TopTABLE B
Nonagricultural Wage and Salary Employment by Industry, Monthly. Areas covered include all the thirty-three counties. While the data is in a monthly format, this table is updated only quarterly.
Table B estimates from 2001 forward reflect the NAICS industry coding system and are not comparable to prior years using the SIC industry coding system. Table B data have been derived from the Quarterly Census of Employment & Wages (or Covered Employment and Wages) publication and are therefore not comparable to prior years’ publications, which included both covered and noncovered data.
LASER has been updated to include both preliminary and revised Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages data, while Table B uses preliminary data only. The data presented in LASER are the most current available.

TopQuarterly Census of Employment and Wages
Nonagricultural Wage and Salary Employment & Wages by Industry. Areas covered include Statewide New Mexico, all the thirty-three counties and the four Workforce Investment Area(WIA) regions. While the data are in a monthly format, this table is updated only quarterly.
This publication contains quarterly employment and wage data for workers covered by New Mexico Unemployment Insurance (UI) laws (this includes all state and local government workers) and for federal government employees covered by the Unemployment Compensation for Federal Employees (UCFE). Employment data represent the number of workers on the payroll during the pay period including the 12th day of the month. This includes both full-time and part-time workers. Wages represent the gross amount of all payrolls for all pay periods paid within the quarter, regardless of the timing of the services performed. Commissions, bonuses, and overtime pay is included.
The industry codes used after 2000 are from the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Prior to 2001 the industry code system used was the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC). Recently, historical data back to 1990 were released from the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the NAICS codes.

TopBusiness Employment Dynamics
Business Employment Dynamics (BED) data track the expansion and contraction of employment for private businesses. These employment changes - gross job gains (expansions and openings) and gross job losses (reductions and closures) - are components of the net change in employment at the establishment level.
Note- Data released for first quarter 2008 incorporate annual revisions to the BED series. Annual revisions are published each year with the release of first quarter data. These revisions cover the last four quarters of not seasonally adjusted data and 5 years of seasonally adjusted data.

About the Data:
The Business Employment Dynamics data measure the net change in employment at the establishment or firm level. These changes come about in one of four ways. A net increase in employment can come from either opening units or expanding units. A net decrease in employment can come from either closing units or contracting units. Gross job gains include the sum of all jobs added at either opening or expanding units. Gross job losses include the sum of all jobs lost in either closing or contracting units. The net change in employment is the difference between gross job gains and gross job losses. Business Employment Dynamics Technical Notes. View additional information on the BLS Business Employment Dynamics Web site.
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, with no employment or zero employment reported 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.
All establishment-level employment changes are measured from the third month of each quarter. Not all establishments and firms change their employment levels. Units with no change in employment count towards estimates of total employment, but not for levels of gross employment job gains and gross job losses.
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. This provides a symmetric growth rate. 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 justas their levels can. For instance, the difference between the gross job gains rate and the gross job losses rate is the net growth rate.
