Abstract: Landscape services employment has grown significantly in the USA over the last 20 years in contrast to the continuing decline in employment in production agriculture. However, tracking growth in landscape services is complicated by the lack of data and outdated or inappropriate classification systems. This article establishes basic definitions and reviews existing national data on landscape services. Based on this review and experience collecting data on landscape services in Hawaii, recommendations are made for changing Standard Industrial and Occupational Classification systems to enable better future analysis.
