How the figures were collected
- State files cbp21st, cbp22st and cbp23st from www2.census.gov, rows for New Jersey (FIPS 34), NAICS 484 and 493, all legal forms of organization.
- Employment in CBP is published with noise added for confidentiality. The Census Bureau flags each figure: G means 0 to under 2% noise, H means 2 to under 5% noise, J means 5% or more. Flags are shown next to each employment figure.
Limitations
- Counts establishments with paid employees; owner-operators without employees are not included, which matters in trucking.
- Warehousing employment rose from 49,779 in 2022 to 66,084 in 2023 with an H flag. CBP does not explain year-to-year jumps; treat single-year changes with care and do not read them as hiring in that year alone.
- Mid-March employment, not an annual average, and a different program from the BLS monthly jobs data.

How the figures were collected
- County file cbp23co from www2.census.gov, rows for New Jersey (FIPS 34) with NAICS 493. The county establishment counts add up to the statewide 968, which the build checks.
- Employment carries the Census Bureau's noise flag (G, H or J); J means 5% noise or more, so small-county employment figures are rough.
Limitations
- Cape May County has no NAICS 493 row in the 2023 county file, so it is listed as not published rather than zero.
- The row labelled Unassigned is the Census Bureau's statewide row for establishments it did not assign to a county (county code 999).
- An establishment is a single physical location; one large distribution center and one small storage yard each count as one.
- NAICS 493 covers establishments that "do not sell the goods they handle", so a distribution center run by a company that sells the goods may be classified in another industry.
