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. 4 Standard Industrial Classification Manual, 1987 Edition. 5 Employment is expressed as an annual average and is derived primarily from the BLS-State Covered Employment and Wages program. 6 A statistical significance test indicates that the difference between the 2000 incidence rate and the 1999 rate is statistically significant at the 95 percent confidence level. 7 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees. NOTE: Data conforming to OSHA definitions for coal and lignite mining operators (SIC 12) and nonmetal mining operators (SIC 14) are provided to BLS by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor. BLS does not calculate relative standard errors for the estimates in SIC 12 and in SIC 14, therefore, differences in these estimates were not tested for statistical significance. Dash indicates data not available. The n.e.c. abbreviation means that the category includes those components not elsewhere classified.
