| * = Value is less than half of the smallest unit of measure |
| (e.g., for values with no decimals, the smallest unit is 1 then values under 0.5 are shown as *.) |
| NM = Not meaningful due to large relative standard error or excessive percentage change. |
| Notes: See Glossary for definitions. Values are preliminary. See Technical Notes for a discussion of the sample design for the Form EIA-923. |
| Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Percentage difference is calculated before rounding. |
