Mining, Construction, and Manufacturing sectors are only included at 6-digit industry level in this file. US-level data at the 2- thru
5-digit industry levels are included in the separate Summary files for these sectors.

For the wholesale trade sector, data are published for the wholesale trade total; merchant wholesalers, except manufacturers'
sales branches and offices; and manufacturers' sales branches and offices. For selected sectors, data are published for the
all establishments total; establishments exempt from federal income tax; and establishments subject to federal income tax. The
fact sheet displays data for the totals only.

For information on confidentiality protection, sampling error, nonsampling error, and definitions, see Survey Methodology.
