Concentration is this occupation's share of employment here divided by its share across every industry we hold — how much this industry is made of that job. Above 8× it is a defining occupation; near 1× it is a job every industry has, like a manager or an office clerk. Which licence gates OPERATING the business depends on the jurisdiction and on how the business is structured, and we do not assert it.
What this page cannot tell you
| Gap |
|---|
| licence titles in 36 — none matched 'Nursing Assistants', though it is licensed in 50 jurisdictions nationally. The title differs locally, or the record is held municipally. |
| occupation mix for NAICS 623312 — the labour statistics carry no rows at this level, so everything about occupations here, including the defining occupation and its licence gate, is measured at NAICS 623300, a broader grouping. Establishment counts are for 623312 itself. |
| licence coverage — the register holds 54 of 56 US licensing jurisdictions, and 2,504 of its records carry no jurisdiction at all. A count of 50 is out of 54 searched, not out of 56. The unsearched jurisdictions are not evidence of no licence. |
