"e  In 1997, the American Gas Association revised the database that identifies companies by type (e.g., distribution, integrated, or transmission).  This reclassification has resulted in additions to the distribution and reductions to the integrated company categories beginning with the revised data in 1996. Additionally, data by company type are not directly comparable from year to year due to acquisitions and mergers. ",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

j  U.S. Department of Transportation was created in 1966. Data are for fiscal year and include permanent civilians as well as temporary employees and military. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
k  Full-time equivalent employment. Data prior to 1986 are not directly comparable to data from later years due to a change in the way full-time equivalent was calculated. Full-time equivalent was not calculated for 1985. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
"l  Due to a change in the reference period, from October to March, the October 1996 Annual Survey of Government Employment and Payroll was not conducted. ",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
NOTE,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
"The employment totals in tables 3-19 and 3-20 differ.  Table 3-19 shows employment in transportation and selected transportation-related industries.  Table 3-20 shows employment by transportation occupation. Some employees of transportation industries have nontransportation jobs (e.g., a bookkeeper in a trucking firm), and some people with transportation occupations do not work in the transportation industry (e.g., a truck driver for a construction firm). Beginning in January 1999, data are not strictly comparable with data for 1998 and earlier years because of revisions in the population controls used in the household survey.
