How to read this table
Selecting a specific row from the thirty-three available allows for viewing personnel recruitment rates in a particular industry, while comparison with the first row helps determine the sector's share of total national hiring. Agriculture, hunting, forestry, and fishing are highlighted separately, allowing for tracking specific hiring trends in these areas. By comparing values for the same series between 2005, when 11214.814 thousand people were hired, and 2016, with a figure of 9143.2 thousand, the overall dynamics of the incoming labor flow in organizations excluding small businesses can be assessed
What is visible in these numbers
Five highest values: Total for the economy (11 924), Manufacturing (2 380), Wholesale and retail trade; repair of motor vehicles… (1 394), Agriculture, hunting and forestry (970.9), Construction (858.9). The gap between the highest and lowest is 751.8 times. The top five account for 81.7% of the total across all items — the distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Annual observations, with 12 observation periods in the dataset. There are 300 values in the table out of 300 possible, which is 100%; data gaps are virtually absent
