*Denotes confidential data relating to individual employers which cannot be released. Average weekly wage is derived by dividing gross payroll dollars paid to all employees both hourly and salaried - by the average number of employees who had any earnings; average earnings are then divided by the number of weeks in the period to obtain weekly figures. Figures in other columns may not sum to totals due to rounding, as all figures represent annual averages. Health services includes government hospitals. Educational services includes government educational institutions.

Notes:
"Denotes confidential data relating to individual employers which cannot be released. Average weekly wage is derived by dividing gross payroll dollars paid to all employees - both hourly and salaried - by the average number of employees who had any earnings; average earnings are then divided by the number of weeks in the period to obtain weekly figures. Figures in other columns may not sum to totals due to rounding, as all figures represent annual averages. Health services includes government hospitals. Educational services includes government educational institutions.

'Denotes confidential data relating to individual employers which cannot be released. Average weekly wage is derived by dividing gross payroll dollars paid to all employees both hourly and salaried by the average number of employees who had any earnings; average earnings are then divided by the number of weeks in the period to obtain weekly figures. Figures in other columns may not sum to totals due to rounding, as all figures represent annual averages. Health services includes government hospitals. Educational services includes government educational institutions.

'Denotes confidential data relating to individual employers which cannot be released. Average weekly wage is derived by dividing gross payroll dollars paid to all employees both hourly and salaried - by the average number of employees who had any earnings; average earnings are then divided by the number of weeks in the period to obtain weekly figures. Figures in other columns may not sum to totals due to rounding, as all figures represent annual averages. Health services includes government hospitals. Educational services includes government educational institutions.

Notes:
"Denotes confidential data relating to individual employers which cannot be released. Average weekly wage is derived by dividing gross payroll dollars paid to all employees - both hourly and salaried - by the average number of employees who had any earnings; average earnings are then divided by the number of weeks in the period to obtain weekly figures. Figures in other columns may not sum to totals due to rounding, as all figures represent annual averages. Health services includes government hospitals. Educational services includes government educational institutions.

Notes:
"Denotes confidential data relating to individual employers which cannot be released. Average weekly wage is derived by dividing gross payroll dollars paid to all employees - both hourly and salaried - by the average number of employees who had any earnings; average earnings are then divided by the number of weeks in the period to obtain weekly figures. Figures in other columns may not sum to totals due to rounding, as all figures represent annual averages. Health services includes government hospitals. Educational services includes government educational institutions.

Notes:
"Denotes confidential data relating to individual employers which cannot be released. Average weekly wage is derived by dividing gross payroll dollars paid to all employees - both hourly and salaried - by the average number of employees who had any earnings; average earnings are then divided by the number of weeks in the period to obtain weekly figures. Figures in other columns may not sum to totals due to rounding, as all figures represent annual averages. Health services includes government hospitals. Educational services includes government educational institutions.

'Notes:
Denotes confidential data relating to individual employers which cannot be released. Average weekly wage is derived by dividing gross payroll dollars paid to all employees - both hourly and salaried - by the average number of employees who had any earnings; average earnings are then divided by the number of weeks in the period to obtain weekly figures. Figures in other columns may not sum to totals due to rounding, as all figures represent annual averages. Health services includes government hospitals. Educational services includes government educational institutions.

Notes:
*Denotes confidential data relating to individual employers which cannot be released. Average weekly wage is derived by dividing gross payroll dollars paid to all employees - both hourly and salaried - by the average number of employees who had any earnings; average earnings are then divided by the number of weeks in the period to obtain weekly figures. Figures in other columns may not sum to totals due to rounding, as all figures represent annual averages. Health services includes government hospitals. Educational services includes government educational institutions.

'Denotes confidential data relating to individual employers which cannot be released. Average weekly wage is derived by dividing gross payroll dollars paid to all employees - both hourly and salaried - by the average number of employees who had any earnings; average earnings are then divided by the number of weeks in the period to obtain weekly figures. Figures in other columns may not sum to totals due to rounding, as all figures represent annual averages. Health services includes govemment hospitals. Educational services includes government educational institutions.

Notes:
-Denotes confidential data relating to individual employers which cannot be released. Average weekly wage is derived by dividing gross payroll dollars paid to all employees - both hourly and salaried - by the average number of employees who had any earnings; average earnings are then divided by the number of weeks in the period to obtain weekly figures. Rgures in other columns may not sum to totals due to rounding, as all figures represent annual averages. Health services includes government hospitals. Educational services includes government educational institutions.

Figures in other columns may not sum to totals due to rounding, as all figures represent annual averages. Health services includes government hospitals. Educational services includes government educational institutions.

"Denotes confidential data relating to individual employers which cannot be released. Average weekly wage is derived by dividing gross payroll dollars paid to all employees - both hourly and salaried - by the average number of employees who had any earnings; average earnings are then divided by the number of weeks in the period to obtain weekly figures. Figures in other columns may not sum to totals due to rounding, as all figures represent annual averages. Health services includes government hospitals. Educational services includes government educational institutions.

Figures in other columns may not sum to totals due to rounding, as all figures represent annual averages. Health services includes government hospitals. Educational services includes government educational institutions.

'Oenotes confidential data relating to individual employers which cannot be released. Average weekly wage is derived by dividing gross payroll dollars paid to all employees - both hourly and salaried - by the average number of employees who had any earnings; average earnings are then divided by the number of weeks in the period to obtain weekly figures. Figures in other columns may not sum to totals due to rounding, as all figures represent annual averages. Health services includes government hospitals. Educational services includes government educational institutions.
