Figure 6.   U.S. Average Number of Employees per Outlet, 1986-1998

Welcome to Figure 6 of Restructuring: The Changing Face of Motor Gasoline Marketing. For more information please contact the National Information Center at (202) 586-8800.

Note:   These data are collected each year during the week including March 12.

The decline in the average number of employees between 1990 and 1992 is partly due to the economic recession that began during the third quarter of 1990 and ended in early 1992.   There also may be some effect arising from the 1992 Economic Census.   More data are collected on establishments during Census years than during non-Census years, resulting in some difference in the industry to which a particular establishment is assigned during a Census year relative to non-Census years.
