Census County Business Patterns, 2023 · private-sector employment (CBP) and total nonfarm employment (BLS CES) are different surveys with different scope and timing — not the same measurement, shown separately rather than combined. National employment ratio is a population-weighted sum (Σemployed ÷ Σpopulation), not an average of each jurisdiction's own ratio — a small state's rate can't move the national figure as much as California's. Per-state annual payroll is available on each state's profile page; a national payroll total isn't shown here because it would require one request per jurisdiction rather than reusing an already-fetched aggregate (see report notes).

Total outlays and prime award value are two separate USASpending.gov measures (disbursed spending vs. contract award value) with different scope and timing — not a subset of one another, so shown side by side rather than combined. USASpending.gov doesn't expose a fiscal year in this dataset, so no reference period is shown.
