The change in the number of jobs over time is the net result of increases and decreases in employment that occur at all private businesses in the economy. Business Employment Dynamics (BED) statistics track these changes in employment at private-sector establishments from the third month of one quarter to the third month of the next. The difference between the number of gross job gains and the number of gross job losses is the net change in employment. (See the Business Employment Dynamics Technical Note.)
Gross job lossesIn the third quarter of 2025, gross job losses represented 5.7 percent of private-sector employment in North Carolina and nationally. (See chart 2.)
