  1 The number of workers represented by the survey are
rounded to the nearest 100. Estimates of the number of
workers provide a description of the size and
composition of the labor force included in the survey.
Estimates are not intended, however, for comparison to
other statistical series to measure employment trends
or levels.

system is used to classify workers.
