The Employment Projections (EP) program offers insights into the labor market of the United States, projecting trends for the next decade across approximately 300 detailed industries and 800 occupations. The Bureau of Labor Statistics develops the National Employment Matrix as part of its ongoing Employment Projections program.
Occupational classifications of the National Employment Matrix are based on the structure used by the Occupational Employment Statistics (OEWS) program, which is using the 2018 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system. Self-employed worker data are sourced from the Current Population Survey (CPS) and are distributed to relevant occupations through a crosswalk mechanism. The industrial structure relies on the 2017 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), treating self-employment as a separate industry for analytical purposes. Arts-related occupations encompass various sectors, including motion picture and sound recording industries, broadcasting, performing arts, museums, amusement, publishing, education, design, media, and related fields. This comprehensive overview aids in understanding employment dynamics and trends within the arts and cultural sectors.
