Business Employment Dynamics (BED)
BED data is a product of a federal-state cooperative program known as the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW).
BED data measures the net change in employment from 1992 onward. The data highlights the number and rates of gross jobs gained at opening and expanding establishments, as well as the number and rates of gross jobs lost by closing and contracting establishments.
For additional information about BED data, see the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics BED program or create your own customized tables.
