How are "earnings per worker" calculated in the study area screen? In most cases, I come close with the following, but not exact: earnings per worker=(employee compensation+propriety income)/employment What accounts for the difference? Thanks.

  If it is slightly off, it is probably due to the fact that the employment you see on the screen is rounded. Eg, the 2 jobs may really be 2.4 jobs. If you want to experiment, edit the employment by replacing the number with the same number. This lops off the decimal and will make the screen's output per worker match your calculation.
