1 The number of workers represented by the survey are rounded to the nearest 100.
Estimates of the number of workers provide a description of the size and composition of
the labor force included in the survey. Estimates are not intended, however, for
comparison to other statistical series to measure employment trends or levels.
2 The 2000 Standard Occupational Classification system is used to classify workers.
NOTE: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals. Dashes
indicate that no estimates for this characteristic are provided in this publication.
