  1 The 2010 Standard Occupational Classification
system is used to classify workers.
  2 The numbers 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.
