Description:

Abstract:

This map layer portrays 1983 to 1987 estimates for total personal income, 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.

Total personal income is all the income that is received by, or on behalf of, the residents of a particular area. It is calculated as the sum of wage and salary disbursements, other labor income, proprietors' income with inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustments, rental income of persons with capital consumption adjustment, personal dividend income, personal interest income, and transfer payments to persons, minus personal contributions for social insurance.

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.

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.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Boundaries for Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the water bodies were deleted from ATLAS-1990CNTY. Using information from the file CA13FN.TXT on BEA-REIS2004, the following counties were adjusted to reflect the boundaries in effect between 1983 and 1987:

 Menominee County merged into Shawano County, Wisconsin
 Lake and Peninsula Borough merged into Dillingham Census Area, Alaska
 Aleutians East Borough and Aleutians West Census Area merged into
     Aleutians Islands Census Area, Alaska
 Yellowstone National Park merged into Park and Gallatin counties,
     Montana

The information in the file ECONLIST.PRN on BEA-REIS2004 was used to merge the following counties and cities in Virginia:

 Albemarle County and Charlottesville
 Alleghany County, Clifton Forge, and Covington
 Augusta County, Staunton, and Waynesboro
 Bedford County and Bedford city
 Campbell County and Lynchburg
 Carroll County and Galax
 Dinwiddie County, Colonial Heights, and Petersburg
 Fairfax County, Fairfax City, and Falls Church
 Frederick County and Winchester
 Greensville County and Emporia
 Henry County and Martinsville
 James City County and Williamsburg
 Montgomery County and Radford
 Pittsylvania County and Danville
 Prince George County and Hopewell
 Prince William County, Manassas, and Manassas Park
 Roanoke County and Salem
 Rockbridge County, Buena Vista, and Lexington
 Rockingham County and Harrisonburg
 Southampton County and Franklin
 Halifax County and South Boston
 Spotsylvania County and Fredericksburg
 Washington County and Bristol
 Wise County and Norton
 York County and Poquoson

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-1990CNTY map layer. The resulting file was saved as a shapefile.

Process_Description:

From BEA-REIS2005, the file containing population (ca13.dfx) was extracted and loaded into Microsoft Excel. The records containing population were selected and exported to a text file. The text file was loaded into ArcView and joined to the ATLAS-INCOME_87_04 map layer. Fields to hold the per capita number of jobs for each year (1983-1987) 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.
