X Industry not in scope of Economic Census for employers

S Withheld because estimates did not meet publication standards.

1Enterprise support establishments are included in the employer columns for both 1997 and 2002, a departure from previously published 1997 data, to improve the accuracy of the percent change figures.

2Data for employers exclude the following industries that were out of scope of the 1997 Economic Census to improve the accuracy of the percent change figures. NAICS 54132 Landscape Architectural Services, 54194 Veterinary Services, 56173 Landscaping Services, and 81291 Pet Care (except Veterinary) Services.

The data in this table are based on the 2002 and 1997 economic censuses and Nonemployer Statistics. Employer data for 2002 are preliminary and subject to change, and will be superseded by data released in later reports. These data are subject to nonsampling error due to nonresponse, coverage problems, misreporting, and processing error. Data users who create their own estimates using data from this report should cite the Census Bureau as the source of the original data only. For more information, see the introductory text.
