Nonemployer Statistics originate from tax return information of the
Internal Revenue Service.
The 2004 and 2005 Nonemployer totals may be low due to late tax
reporting in hurricane impacted counties/regions.
The data are subject to nonsampling error such as errors of
self-classification by industry on tax forms, as well as errors
of response,
nonreporting and coverage.
Values provided by each firm are slightly modified to protect
the respondent's confidentiality.
