Note: Estimates for 1998-2000 have been revised since their original publication in October 1999. The revision reflects new data for the Federal sector only. Estimates for 1999 are preliminary and estimates for 2000, in italics, are based on plans or projections. Estimates for historical years may be revised in future reports if new information becomes available.
