The Overview section shows the number of businesses and jobs for the entire area in a time-series format, allowing you to track changes every quarter since the second quarter of 2020 (or Q2.20).
The Current Quarter section breaks down the businesses and employment in the selected location by Industry, Business Size, and Ethnicity of owner. The left vertical axis displays a count of businesses or jobs by category in the most current quarter. The right vertical axis shows the percent change of each category since the first quarter of the pandemic. For example, -10% means that the number of businesses or employment in that category has fallen by 10% since Q2.20.
