(1) GGS employment is the number 
      of jobs related to the production of Green Goods and Services.
(2) GGS percent is the 
      percentage of the GGS employment compared to the total employment. This 
      value is derived by dividing the GGS employment by the total 
      employment.

  

    
      
NOTE: GGS data for 2010 have been revised to incorporate 
      methodological changes explained in the Technical Note. Please also note 
      data may not add to total due to 
rounding.
