** Employment by state is determined by the location where employees work.  In most cases, this approach aligns with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ measure of establishment employment, reflecting the state where an employee works.  In some cases, a payroll located in a certain state may include employees from one or more states outside that state.
