A flow system, not a concentration score.

Every rate remains attached to its BDS year, national or sector universe, Census denominator, and source release.

01 / Source

2023 Business Dynamics Statistics

U.S. Census Bureau / accessed 2026-07-19. The observatory pins the economy-wide and sector CSV files to verified SHA-256 hashes.

02 / Measurement

March-to-March establishment flows

Job-flow rates use the Census Davis-Haltiwanger-Schuh average-employment denominator. Entry and exit use longitudinally consistent establishment counts, and excess reallocation removes the absolute net job change from gross flows.
