  Description:
    Abstract:  
      This map layer portrays 2002 and 2003 per capita personal income, annual 
      number of full-time and part-time jobs, average wage per job in dollars, 
      population, and per capita number of jobs for counties in the United 
      States.  

      Per capita personal income is calculated as the total personal income of 
      the residents of a county divided by the resident population of the 
      county.  The Census Bureau's annual midyear population estimates were used 
      in the computation.  

      The average annual number of full-time and part-time jobs includes all 
      jobs for which wages and salaries are paid, except jury and witness 
      service and paid employment of prisoners.  The jobs are counted at equal 
      weight, and employees, sole proprietors, and active partners are all 
      included.  Unpaid family workers and volunteers are not included.
      
      Average wage per job is the wage and salary disbursements divided by the   
      number of wage and salary jobs in the county.  Wage and salary 
      disbursements consist of the monetary remuneration of employees, including 
      the compensation of corporate officers; commissions, tips, and bonuses; 
      and receipts in kind, or pay-in-kind, such as the meals furnished to the   
      employees of restaurants.  It reflects the amount of payments disbursed, 
      but not necessarily earned during the year.

      Per capita number of jobs is calculated as the average annual number of 
      full-time and part-time jobs in a county divided by the resident 
      population of the county.  The Census Bureau's annual midyear population 
      estimates were used in the computation. 

      All dollar estimates are in current dollars, not adjusted for inflation.
      The information in this map layer comes from the Regional Economic 
      Information System (REIS) that is distributed by the Bureau of Economic 
      Analysis, http://www.bea.gov/.

      This is an updated version of the November 2004 map layer, distributed as 
      Income and Employment in the United States, 2002.

    Purpose: 
      These data are intended for geographic display and analysis at the 
      national level, and for large regional areas.  The data should be 
      displayed and analyzed at scales appropriate for 1:2,000,000-scale data.  
      No responsibility is assumed by the National Atlas of the United States in 
      the use of these data.

        From BEA-REIS2004, the files containing total personal income, per 
        capita personal income, annual number of full-time and part-time jobs, 
        and average wage per job information (ca13.dfx and ca34.dfx) were 
        extracted and loaded into a Microsoft Access database and then exported 
        to text files.  The text files were loaded into ArcView and records 
        containing personal income, per capita personal income, annual number 
        of full-time and part-time jobs, and average wage per job information 
        were extracted and joined to the edited ATLAS-CNTY map layer.  The 
        resulting file was saved as a shapefile.

        From BEA-REIS2005, the files containing population, per capita personal
        income, annual number of full-time and part-time jobs, and average wage 
        per job in dollars (ca13.dfx and ca34.dfx) were extracted and loaded 
        into Microsoft Excel.  The records containing population, per capita 
        personal income, annual number of full-time and part-time jobs, and 
        average wage per job in dollars were selected and exported to text 
        files.  The text files were loaded into ArcView.  The 2003 data was 
        joined to the ATLAS-INCOME_02_04 map layer and the 2002 data was 
        updated.  The 2002 field for personal income was removed.  Fields to 
        hold the per capita number of jobs for each year (2002 and 2003) were 
        added.  The per capita number of jobs was calculated by dividing 
        population of the county into the average annual number of full-time and 
        part-time jobs.
