ABSTRACT
This chapter describes the essential information on employment in each occupational category by industry. It discusses the total requirements of the input-output matrix, through which the information on occupational skills by industry is converted into measures of the total requirements of each skill required to supply one dollar to final demand from each industry. The chapter considers the development of data on net exports for each industry in each year. It explains consistent and parallel data on deliveries to final demand from each industry in each year, which is used in calculating the total skill content contained in each year’s pattern of national consumption. The chapter assesses the fifth area is data on the income of full-time workers in each occupational category, which are used to categorize “good” jobs and determine whether trade has had a particularly strong impact on these occupations.
