From September 2018 to December 2018, gross job gains in Oklahoma totaled 83,749, while gross job losses numbered 77,698, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. (See chart 1.) The difference between the number of gross job gains and the number of gross job losses yielded a net employment gain of 6,051 in the private sector during the fourth quarter of 2018. Assistant Commissions for Regional Operations Stanley W. Suchman noted that in the previous quarter, the net employment gain was 7,004.
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 establishments 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 establishments and the addition of new jobs at opening establishments. Gross job losses are the result of contractions in employment at existing establishments and the loss of jobs at closing establishments. 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.)
The number of gross job gains in Oklahoma decreased by 1,231 in the fourth quarter of 2018 after increasing by 3,795 in the previous quarter. (See chart 1.) Oklahoma’s gross job losses dipped by 278 in the fourth quarter of 2018, after falling by 4,946 in the previous quarter. The gain of 6,051 jobs in the current quarter was the state’s second consecutive net job gain after experiencing a net job loss in the second quarter of 2018.
Gross job gains represented 6.4 percent of private sector employment in Oklahoma in the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to the national gross job gain of 6.1 percent. (See chart 2.) The rate of gross job gains in Oklahoma has equaled or exceeded the national rate since the fourth quarter of 2016. Oklahoma’s rate of gross job losses as a percent of private sector employment was 6.0 percent compared to the national rate of 5.6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2018. Oklahoma’s rate of gross job losses has exceeded the U.S. rate since the first quarter of 2015, with one exception.
During the fourth quarter of 2018, gross job gains exceeded gross job losses in 8 of the 11 industry sectors in Oklahoma. For example, within transportation and warehousing, opening and expanding establishments added 5,068 jobs, while closing and contracting establishments lost 2,322 jobs. The resulting net gain of 2,746 jobs in the transportation and warehousing sector was the largest of any sector in Oklahoma in the fourth quarter of 2018. In leisure and hospitality, 14,567 jobs were created in opening and expanding establishments and 13,161 were lost in closing and contracting establishments, resulting in a net gain of 1,406, the second largest among the state’s sectors. (See table 1.)
Three industry sectors in Oklahoma registered net job losses during the latest quarter. Retail trade saw a net loss of 1,868 jobs, as opening and expanding establishments added 9,213 jobs while closing and contracting establishments lost 11,081 jobs. Information had a net loss of 359 jobs during the quarter, as 1,311 gross job losses offset 952 gross job gains. The financial activities sector had a net job loss of 103.

The Business Employment Dynamics release for First Quarter 2019 is scheduled to be released on Wednesday, October 30, 2019.
The Business Employment Dynamics (BED) data are a product of a federal-state cooperative program known as Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW), or the ES-202 program. The BED data are compiled by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) from existing QCEW records. Most employers in the U.S. are required to file quarterly reports on the employment and wages of workers covered by unemployment insurance (UI) laws, and to pay quarterly UI taxes. The QCEW is based largely on quarterly UI reports which are sent by businesses to the State Workforce Agencies (SWAs). These UI reports are supplemented by two additional BLS data collections to render administrative data into economic statistics. Together these data comprise the QCEW and form the basis of the Bureau’s establishment universe sampling frame.
In the BED program, the quarterly QCEW records are linked across quarters to provide a longitudinal history for each establishment. The linkage process allows the tracking of net employment changes at the establishment level, which in turn allows the estimation of jobs gained at opening and expanding establishments and jobs lost at closing and contracting establishments.
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. BED statistics track these changes in employment at private business establishments 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 establishments and the addition of new jobs at opening establishments. Gross job losses are the result of contractions in employment at existing establishments and the loss of jobs at closing establishments. The difference between the number of gross jobs gained and the number of gross jobs lost is the net change in employment.
Gross job gains and gross job losses are expressed as rates by dividing their levels by the average of employment in the current and previous quarters. The rates are calculated for the components of gross job gains and gross job losses and then summed to form their respective totals. These rates can be added and subtracted just as their levels can. For instance, the difference between the gross job gains rate and the gross job losses rate is the net growth rate.
The formal definitions of employment changes are as follows:
Openings. These are either establishments with positive third month employment for the first time in the current quarter, with no links to the prior quarter, or with positive third month employment in the current quarter following zero employment in the previous quarter.
Expansions. These are establishments with positive employment in the third month in both the previous and current quarters, with a net increase in employment over this period.
Closings. These are either establishments with positive third month employment in the previous quarter, with no employment or zero employment reported in the current quarter.
Contractions. These are establishments with positive employment in the third month in both the previous and current quarters, with a net decrease in employment over this period.
