Universe Description

The universe is all business establishments with one or more paid
employees.  Data are not included for self-employed persons, domestic
service workers, railroad employees, agriculture production workers, and
most government employees. Beginning in 1998, data are tabulated by
industry as defined in the North American Industry Classification System:
United States, 1997 (NAICS).  Data for 1997 and earlier years are based on
the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) System.  For more information
on the relationship between the two systems, see the "Bridge Between NAICS
and SIC" at http://www.census.gov/epcd/ec97brdg/ (internet connection
