Employment/ouput ratios from 509 to 440
We have reports that we compile annually and were looking back comparing 2006 results to 2007 results and found that employment per million $ worth of output changed in the sectors were look at, though the bridge indicates most are 1 to 1. How can we explain the fact that the output went up, but employment went down?
Was this post helpful?

Each year output per worker goes up. From sector to sector, employment can go up or down. Our data reduction techniques can also change year to year. If you tell me which sector in which data set causing problems then I can be more specific.0

Commodity prices are quite variable year-to-year. NASS (www.ers.usda.gov) reports agriculture sales (2006 sectors 1-13 and 2007 sectors 1-14): 2006: 240,828 millions 2007: 284,844 millions Employment from REIS for farms(www.bea.gov) 2006: 2,867,000 2007: 2,841,000 These are national numbers, it will vary more region to region and sector to sector. I remember soybeans and corn output being much higher.0
