Metrics

• Jobs: The number of occupied positions. This is not quite the same as workers because one worker might fill more than one position.
• Growth: Growth is the net (non-negative) change for each year, and is calculated at the lowest level and aggregated up. For these reasons, it often differs from job change as calculated by subtracting an earlier year's jobs from a later year's job counts. The growth metric is a component of the openings metric (growth + replacements = openings).
• Replacements: Replacements is the number of existing jobs that are estimated to have been vacated in the year. Replacements takes into account job openings that are created but that are not due to growth in the occupation.
• Openings: Openings is the sum of growth and replacement, and it refers to the estimated number of job openings that exist both due to growth in the occupation and replacement needs in the occupation.
