\1\ Data from the establishment
survey. Includes all full- and part-
time wage and salary workers in
nonagricultural establishments who
received pay for any part of the pay
period that includes the 12th of the
month. Excludes proprietors, self-
employed persons, unpaid family
workers, and private household
workers. Data from the household
survey shown on p. 11 include those
workers and also count persons as
employed when they are not at work
because of industrial disputes, bad
weather, etc., even if they are not
paid for the time off. In the series
shown here, persons who work at more
than one job are counted each time
they appear on a payroll, in
contrast to the series shown on p.
11 where persons are counted only
once--as employed, unemployed, or
not in the labor force. See
Employment and Earnings for details.
\2\ Includes natural resources
and mining, not shown separately.
\3\ Includes wholesale trade,
transportation and warehousing, and
utilities, not shown separately.
Note.--Data classified by
industry based on the 2007 North
American Industry Classification
System (NAICS). For details see
Employment and Earnings.
