The Bureau classifies jobs by occupation and by
industry. The occupational totals presented in the charts represent the sum of jobs in all industries in which that
occupation occurs. For example, occupational employment of automotive mechanics is the sum of mechanics working for
automotive dealers and in automotive repair shops, auto supply stores, gas stations, and
other industries. The industry totals show the sum of jobs in all occupations in each industry.
For example, industry employment for automotive repair shops is the sum of automotive mechanics, automotive body
repairers, bookkeeping clerks, managers, and workers in other
occupations employed there.
Employment totals shown in this section include those for
wage-and-salary workers and for self-employed workers. Occupational data also include both groups of workers, but
industry data include wage-and-salary workers only.
