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.
2 The 2000 Standard Occupational Classification
system is used to classify workers.
NOTE: Because of rounding, sums of individual
items may not equal totals. Dashes indicate that
no estimates for this characteristic are provided
in this publication.
