Special Purpose Files—Employment Requirements

This page contains links to employment requirements data tables. These tables are derived from input-output data, and show the employment generated directly and indirectly for each industry by a million dollars of final demand for a given product or mix of products. The data give an indication of the relative impact of an expenditure on different industries and allows an estimate of the relative impact of different types of spending. The tables are available in both nominal (current) dollar values and chain-weighted (1996 dollars) real values.
