NOTE.—Lines 2-6 cover large affiliates—that is, affiliates with more than 500 employees. Coverage is limited to large affiliates because a substantial number of small affiliates change their organizational structures, and in such cases, it is particularly difficult to determine the reasons for the changes.
Line 2 equals the yearend employment of affiliates that were acquired or established during the year plus the change in employment of existing affiliates that had an increase in employment and that had acquired another U.S. business during the year.
Line 3 equals the change in employment of affiliates that did not acquire another U.S. business but had an increase in employment.
Line 4 equals the employment at the end of the prior year of affiliates that were liquidated or sold during the year plus the change in employment of affiliates that had a decline in employment and that sold a business or business segment during the year.
Line 5 equals the change in employment of affiliates that did not sell a business or business segment but had a decline in employment.
Line 6 equals the change in employment of affiliates that both acquired and sold a business or business segment during the year.
Line 7 equals the change in employment of large affiliates not accounted for in lines 2-6 plus all changes in employment for affiliates with fewer than 500 employees. It includes changes resulting from the addition to the survey universe of affiliates that were required to report in earlier years but did not.
