Footnotes:
(1) The rate represents the number of amputations per 10,000 full-time workers and was calculated as follows: (N/EH) x 20,000,000, where
    N = the number of nonfatal workplace amputations,
    EH = total hours worked by all private sector wage and salary workers during the year, and
    20,000,000 = base for 10,000 equivalent full-time workers (working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year).

NOTE: The percent relative standard error for each estimate appears in parentheses; dash indicates data not available.
