Share of Transportation and Related Industry Employment in Total Employment (monthly data, seasonally adjusted)
One broad measure of transportation employment is employment in transportation-related industries, including for-hire transportation (railroad, trucking, air, water, pipeline, transit, and transportation services) and industries that support transportation directly (e.g., motor vehicle and equipment manufacturing, aircraft manufacturing, auto dealers and service stations, and auto repair and parking services).
Transportation-related industry employment does not include transportation occupations in non-transportation industries, such as truck drivers working for wholesale and retail stores. When employment in transportation occupations in non-transportation industries is included, total transportation-related employment accounts for about 13 percent of U.S. civilian jobs.
