The number of employees on non-farm payrolls in June in the Sumter metropolitan statistical area was 38,400, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

This is a 4.3 percent increase since last June when Sumter reported 36,800 workers on non-farm payrolls.

Statistics were compiled from reports from the civilian labor force and unemployment data, both of which heavily relied on household surveys. The data is not seasonally adjusted.

Employment data is gleaned from an establishment survey that measures non-farm employment, hours and earnings by industry. The data is also based on payroll jobs and such factors as where the establishments are located.

Overall, South Carolina reported 2.138 million million people employed on non-farm payrolls in June.
