Resource Abstract:
This map layer portrays 2002 and 2003 per capita personal income, annual number of full-time and part-time jobs, average wage
per job in dollars, population, and per capita number of jobs for counties in the United States. Per capita personal income
is calculated as the total personal income of the residents of a county divided by the resident population of the county.
The Census Bureau's annual midyear population estimates were used in the computation. The average annual number of full-time
and part-time jobs includes all jobs for which wages and salaries are paid, except jury and witness service and paid employment
of prisoners. The jobs are counted at equal weight, and employees, sole proprietors, and active partners are all included.
Unpaid family workers and volunteers are not included. Average wage per job is the wage and salary disbursements divided by
the number of wage and salary jobs in the county. Wage and salary disbursements consist of the monetary remuneration of employees,
including the compensation of corporate officers; commissions, tips, and bonuses; and receipts in kind, or pay-in-kind, such
as the meals furnished to the employees of restaurants. It reflects the amount of payments disbursed, but not necessarily
earned during the year. Per capita number of jobs is calculated as the average annual number of full-time and part-time jobs
in a county divided by the resident population of the county. The Census Bureau's annual midyear population estimates were
used in the computation. All dollar estimates are in current dollars, not adjusted for inflation. The information in this
map layer comes from the Regional Economic Information System (REIS) that is distributed by the Bureau of Economic Analysis,
http://www.bea.gov/. This is an updated version of the November 2004 map layer, distributed as Income and Employment in the
United States, 2002.
