By utilizing an input-output model, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) publishes at 5-year intervals complete input-output tables for the U.S. economy, disaggregated to several hundred industrial sectors. In addition, a large number of state governments have shown sufficient interest that they too are regularly publishing input-output tables for their particular states. An extremely interesting application of the model lies in its ability, in principle at least, to predict changes in employment resulting from changes in economic activity. One may consider labor as an additional input to each industrial sector, and one may calculate a labor coefficient for each industry as the ratio of employment to gross output in that industry. In Appendix E of this report estimates are presented of U.S. employment, in jobs (full plus part-time, including self-employed and unpaid family workers) for the years 1963, 1967 and 1972; military personnel are excluded. The data are broken down to show (a) wage-and-salary employment, and (b) non-wage-and-salary employment, including self-employed workers and unpaid family workers.
