GGS employment is the number of jobs related to the production of Green Goods and Services. This table reflects total ownership.
2
GGS percent is the percentage of the GGS employment compared to the total employment. This value is derived by dividing the GGS employment by the total employment.
3
Source: Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) annual average.
4
Over-the-year percentage change is the percentage change of GGS employment from 2010 to 2011. This value is derived by dividing the change in GGS
employment by the 2010 GGS employment.
NOTE: GGS data for 2010 have been revised to incorporate methodological changes explained in the Technical Note. Please also note data may not add to
total due to rounding.
* Significant over-the-year changes are calculated at a 90 percent confidence level.
