Employment 20 Years

 Back in 2005 I started to examine certain employment numbers to try to understand the changing economy. I thought  it would be worth a review. So here goes:

First s core business vs Government. Core saw a large drop in the Plague period but has recovered. Government not so much but continues to grow.

The following is core by sector. Transportation has grown as has non durable.
The following are per PoP numbers by sector. Ed and Health are dramatically increasing. This is workers not just dollars. Surprisingly Government has dropped.
The following is a graph of percent total by year by segment. Note that health and professional have grown but many old core have dropped.Especially manufacturing.
