No. BLS publishes OEWS estimates for metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas. County links identify the published area used for that county and should not be added together as county-level employment totals.
Values come from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics. This page uses the latest available releases through 2025, and labels each estimate with its publication year. Review the official OEWS tables. Area employment counts describe the full published area and are repeated on county detail pages only as context. The BLS definitions explain wage coverage and percentiles.
