NOTE: Totals for major categories may include subcategories not shown separately. Percentages may not add to totals because of rounding. There were 54 fatalities for which there was insufficient information to determine a specific occupation classification. Dashes indicate no data reported or data that do not meet publication criteria. n.e.c. means "not elsewhere classified."
