Annual data on business and employment dynamics in the private sector at the national level, broken down by North American Industrial Classification System industry or by firm size class, are now available for 2014.
These data are derived from the Longitudinal Employment Analysis Program file for 2014. The data released for 2014 are being added to already existing data tables that contain annual estimates going back to 2001.
The 2014 national estimates of business and employment dynamics in the private sector were similar to the 2013 estimates. The business entry (12.8%) and exit (11.4%) rates in 2014 were almost unchanged from the 2013 rates.
Net employment growth was 1.6% in the private sector in 2014, up from 1.4% in 2013. The net employment growth in 2014 is broken down in four sub-components: employment creation by entrants (+1.5%), employment creation by growing incumbents (+8.6%), employment destruction by exits (-1.2%), and employment destruction by declining incumbents (-7.3%). As was the case in all years in the post-2000 period, most of the employment movement in the private sector in 2014 was attributable to the expansion and contraction of incumbent enterprises.
