Note: Detail may not add to total because of rounding. See table 4 for estimated measures of sampling variability (coefficients of variation).
Percent columns represent percent of total operating expenses. Data on expenses include central administrative offices and other enterprise support locations such as warehouses, previously known as auxiliaries. Consequently, data presented here on sample-based payroll may not match payroll presented in other economic census reports.
