From March 2014 to June 2014, gross job gains from opening and

expanding private sector establishments were 7.4 million, an increase

of 582,000 jobs from the previous quarter, the U.S. Bureau of Labor

Statistics reported today. Over this period, gross job losses from

closing and contracting private sector establishments were 6.5 million,

an increase of 63,000 jobs from the previous quarter.

(See tables A, 1, and 3.)

 

The difference between the number of gross job gains and the number of

gross job losses yielded a net employment gain of 916,000 jobs in the

private sector during the second quarter of 2014.

(See tables A, 1, and 3.)

 

The change in the number of jobs over time is the net result of

increases and decreases in employment that occur at all businesses

in the economy. Business Employment Dynamics (BED) statistics track

these changes in employment at private business units from the third

month of one quarter to the third month of the next. Gross job gains

are the sum of increases in employment from expansions at existing

units and the addition of new jobs at opening units. Gross job losses

are the result of contractions in employment at existing units and the

loss of jobs at closing units. The difference between the number of

gross job gains and the number of gross job losses is the net change

in employment. (See the Technical Note for more information.)
