State of Delaware Business Employment Dynamics data reported in the 2015 Delaware Economic Report
Business Employment Dynamics (BED) is used to track changes in employment at the establishment level.
BED data measures the gross job gains and gross job losses from each quarter in the economy. Gross job gains are increases in employment from expanding and opening establishments and gross job losses are decreases in employment from contracting and closing establishments. The net change in employment is the difference between the amount of gross job gains and gross job losses.
All of the BED data are derived from the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) program, linking administrative Unemployment Insurance establishment data across time. The employment changes in the BED are measured from the 3rd month of each quarter.
Current BED data for Delaware is published by The Delaware Department of Labor in the Annual Delaware Economic Report.
All of the data referenced within the recently released 2015 report, including the BED data summarized below, are seasonally adjusted.
