Employment and projections contained in these tables are considered
estimates. Employment is reported by place of work and excludes self-employed
persons, unpaid family workers, domestics, volunteers and those involved in
labor-management trade disputes. These data are based on 1987 Standard
Industrial Classifications. Annual average industry detail may not add up to
totals due to independent rounding. Government data include all civilian
government employees regardless of the activities in which they are engaged.
