Energy services and technology sector employment is estimated using a combination of data published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and EWTC’s proprietary analysis of the sector. The estimate covers economic activities of energy technology and services companies, such as oil and gas extraction, construction, and manufacturing, among others. Total employment is estimated using the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages and monthly jobs data published by BLS, refined through EWTC’s sector-specific methodology to isolate energy services employment within broader industry categories. Note: BLS data is preliminary for the two most recent months and is subject to revision.

Beyond the monthly data, EWTC publishes an Annual Workforce Report summarizing the year’s employment trends, and every three years partners with Accenture on an in-depth workforce study that combines labor market data with survey responses from member companies. Government data measures how many people the sector employs; it does not capture skills gaps, hiring and retention challenges, or how technology is changing workforce needs. The member survey provides that information directly from operating companies, producing an analysis that supports both policy development and member workforce planning.
