Statistics on hiring activity, hiring difficulties, and employers reporting vacancies were calculated based on the number of employers responding for each question, weighted by establishment for survey non-response (stratified by region, industry group and employer size). Job Vacancy Rate for vacancies that had been unfilled for 4 months or more calculated as: Sum of Unfilled Vacancies / (Sum of Current + Sum of Unfilled Vacancies), with data weighted by establishment for survey non-response (stratified by industry group and employer size).

12 Industry Definition as per North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Information, Culture & Recreation (NAICS 51, 71) The Information and Cultural sector (NAICS 51) comprises establishments primarily engaged in creating and disseminating (except by wholesale and retail methods) information and cultural products, such as written works, musical works or recorded performances, recorded dramatic performances, software and information databases, or providing the means to disseminate them. Establishments that provide access to equipment and expertise to process information are also included. The unique characteristics of information and cultural products, and of the processes involved in their production and distribution, distinguish this sector from the goods-producing and services-producing sectors. In particular, The value of these products lies in their information, educational, cultural or entertainment content, not in the format in which they are distributed. The intangible nature of the content of information and cultural products allows for their distribution in various forms. For example, a movie can be shown at a movie theatre, on a television broadcast, through video on demand, or rented at a local video store. In addition, improvements in information technology are revolutionizing the distribution of these products. The Arts, Entertainment and Recreation sector (NAICS 71) comprises establishments primarily engaged in operating facilities or providing services to meet the cultural, entertainment and recreational interests of their patrons. These establishments produce, promote or participate in live performances, events or exhibits intended for public viewing; provide the artistic, creative and technical skills necessary for the production of artistic products and live performances; preserve and exhibit objects and sites of historical, cultural or educational interest; and operate facilities or provide services that enable patrons to participate in sports or recreational activities or pursue amusement, hobbies and leisure-time interests.
