Mapped Census sectors 1 31-33 Parent-group boundary Every JOLTS and CES reading in this chapter describes the broader Manufacturing and Manufacturing BLS groups mapped through parent sector NAICS 31-33, not Converted paper product manufacturing (NAICS 3222) by itself. JOLTS industry rates describe national labor demand and worker-flow activity in broad BLS industry groups. They do not measure employer concentration, monopsony power, wages, bargaining power, job quality, local labor-market conditions, worker substitutability, a legal labor market, or the competitive cause of a change. The job openings rate uses employment plus openings as its denominator. Hires, quits, and layoffs and discharges use employment. Rates may be compared across published industry groups within the same measure, but different measures must not be added together or treated as a common flow balance. CES employment, hours, and earnings describe national payroll jobs and establishment averages in broad private-industry groups. They do not measure unique workers, vacancies, employer concentration, monopsony power, bargaining power, job quality, a local or occupational labor market, a legal antitrust market, or the competitive cause of a change. All-employee hourly earnings are current-dollar averages and are not adjusted for inflation. Changes can reflect shifts in industry and worker composition. Employment is reported in thousands of payroll jobs, so multiple jobholders may be counted more than once. Compare industries only within the same published measure; do not add or ratio the three measures into a common score. The two releases remain separate and are not combined into a labor-market, monopsony, competition, welfare, or causal score.

No BLS value is allocated to this narrower industry. Major-sector productivity and cost indexes describe aggregate U.S. production, hours, and labor compensation. They do not measure market concentration, markups, profits, employer power, bargaining power, innovation, product quality, a legal antitrust market, or the competitive cause of a change. All measures are seasonally adjusted BLS indexes with 2017=100, but sector boundaries and output concepts still differ. Manufacturing uses sectoral output while business, nonfarm business, and nonfinancial corporations use value-added output. Four-quarter changes are derived from published indexes and are descriptive, not causal. Do not average the measures into a composite score. The six measures and three scopes remain separate and are not combined into a productivity, labor-cost, market-power, competitiveness, welfare, or causal score.

Published clocks 29 years + 85 quarters annual composition / quarterly SAAR Parent-sector boundary Every BEA reading in this chapter describes parent sector Manufacturing (NAICS 31-33), not Converted paper product manufacturing (NAICS 3222) by itself. No value is allocated to the narrower industry. BEA value added measures an industry's contribution to GDP. It is not sales, gross output, profit, a markup, market share, concentration, a legal antitrust market, or evidence of competitive harm or causation. Current-dollar value-added shares reflect both prices and quantities. Real value added uses chained 2017 dollars and is suitable for growth comparisons, but chained-dollar industry components are not additive. Quarterly levels are seasonally adjusted at annual rates, and quarterly growth and contribution measures retain BEA's published annualized convention. The BEA table contains nested industries, cross-industry aggregates, and addenda. Only the 20 major-industry rows form the composition view; summing those rows with their children, parent aggregates, or addenda would double count activity.
