    "Number of filled jobs in the economy. A person who works multiple jobs has each of their jobs counted in the employment measure, as this measure is a count of jobs, not people. The types of workers in the employment measure may either include (a) employees-only (also referred to as wage and salary workers) or (b) all workers - which includes employees, unincorporated self-employed workers, and unpaid family workers.\n\nNote: The scope of who is counted as employed varies among U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics programs.",
    "Paid employment consists of full and part-time employees, including salaried officers and executives of corporations, who were on the payroll in the pay period including March 12. Included are employees on sick leave, holidays, and vacations; not included are proprietors and partners of unincorporated businesses."
