What does this measure?

The net growth or decline in total jobs, shown as a percentage gain or loss from the previous year.

Why is this important?

Job growth is a key indicator of economic health and vitality and reveals whether and by how much an economy is expanding. In addition to the number of jobs, the quality of jobs should be considered; this is reflected in measures of average salary.

How is Arkansas doing?

Jobs in the state increased by 4.1% from 2021 to 2022, slightly less than the 4.8% increase nationally. Since 2012, the number of jobs in Arkansas rose 12%, also lagging a 14.6% national increase. In 2022, the strongest job growth within the state was in Ashley County, which had a 8.7% increase from 2021, followed by Benton County at 7.2%. Ten of the state's 75 counties experienced a decline in jobs from 2021 to 2022, with the largest decreases in Calhoun (-8.0%), and Nevada (-1.2%) counties.

Notes about the data

County employment estimates are reported by place of work, not place of residence.
