United States, 2007 4 Employment is expressed as an annual average and is derived primarily from the BLS-Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) program. 5 A statistical significance test indicates that the difference between the 2009 incidence rate and the 2008 rate is statistically significant at the 95 percent confidence level. 6 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.
