Notes:

*Denotes confidential data relating to individual employers and cannot be released. This data uses the North American Industrial Classification System ( NAICS) categories (as opposed to Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) categories). 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 earnings; average earnings are then divided by the number of weeks in a pay period to obtain weekly figures. Figures in other columns may not sum accurately due to rounding since all figures represent Annual Averages. Health services include government hospitals. Educational services include state and government institutions.
