Abstract:Counting the transportation workforce from the industry perspective could lead to different estimates than those from the occupational perspective. Workforce employed by the transportation industry, such as transportation and warehousing sector, include those employed in transportation occupations as well as those employed in non-transportation occupations. Workforce classified under transportation occupations include those employed in transportation occupations in any industry and self-employed transportation workers. Therefore, estimates of the transportation workforce based on the number employed in the transportation and warehousing sector (an industry perspective) miss the large number of self-employed workers as well as those employed in transportation occupations in non-transportation sectors. This spotlight looks at self-employment in transportation using transportation occupations (occupational perspective). Transportation occupations, such as truck drivers, include wage and salary jobs in the transportation and warehousing sector as well as transportation-related positions in other sectors and self-employed transportation workers. Unlike estimates based on an industry perspective, it does not include wage and salary workers holding non-transportation jobs in the transportation and warehousing sector.
