NOTE: Data are counts of jobs by place of work. Estimates are currently projected from 2007 benchmark levels.
Estimates subsequent to the current benchmarks are provisional and will be revised when new information becomes
available. Data reflect the conversion to the 2007 version of the North American Industry Classification Sys-
tem (NAICS) as the basis for the assignment and tabulation of economic data by industry, replacing NAICS 2002. See
