Based on this comparison, the highest rates were reported in manufacturing industries, except SIC's 122, 123, and 141 (mining); SIC's 174, 175, and 176 (construction); SIC's 421 and 451 (transportation and public utilities); SIC 518 (wholesale trade); and SIC 805 (services). Generally, manufacturing industries were calculated at the 4-digit code level and the remaining industries at the 3-digit level based on the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, 1987 Edition. 3 Standard Industrial Classification Manual, 1987 Edition. 4 Employment is expressed as an annual average and is derived primarily from the BLS-State Current Employment Statistics program. n.e.c. = not elsewhere classified n.a. = not available NOTE: Dashes "-" indicate data that are not available or data that do not meet publication guidelines.
