Default SUMPRODUCT problems

SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT($G$2:$G$150,10)="employment"))
In column G are groups of economic data. In column B are the numbers that
correspond to that group. The problem is that not all of the corresponding
€śemployment€ť cells in column B will have numbers. I need to be able to come
up with only the number of cells in column B that contain numbers.
SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT($G$2:$G$150,10)="employment")) returns the number 19 for
the 19 times €śemployment€ť is in column G.
The cells in column B that are directly to the left of the €śemployment€ť
cells at this time contain 14 numbers. I need a formula or modify this
formula to be able to return the value of 14.
Thanks for the help
