The number of non-agricultural employees by establishment. Workers on an establishment payroll who are on paid sick leave, on paid holiday or paid vacation or who work during any part of the pay period including the 12th of the month are counted, regardless of status. Persons on the payroll of more than one establishment during the pay period including the 12th of the month are counted, regardless of status. Persons on the payroll of more than one establishment during the pay period are counted in each establishment which reports them, whether the duplication is due to turnover or multiple job holding.

About 800 employers who employ approximately 28 of all workers in Hawaii participate in this monthly survey following Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) guidelines. Release monthly, it is a useful measure of the health of the economy.
Employment by Industry
The number of workers covered by Hawaii Employment Security Law, who worked during or received pay for the payroll period which includes the 12th of the month, reported by place of work (job count) and classified by industry based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Manual. Some student hires, not covered under Unemployment Insurance, are excluded from this figure but are included in Job Counts by Industry. Because it includes all covered employers in the state, it is considered as the universe population and is often the basis of sampling by other statistical programs. The information is produced quarterly and annually.
