| 3 Data for mining (Sector 21 in the North American Industry Classification System -- United States, 2007) include | ||||||||||||||
| establishments not governed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) rules and reporting, such | ||||||||||||||
| as those in oil and gas extraction and related support activities. Data for mining operators in coal, metal, and | ||||||||||||||
| nonmetal mining are provided to BLS by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor. | ||||||||||||||
| Independent mining contractors are excluded from the coal, metal, and nonmetal mining industries. These data | ||||||||||||||
| do not reflect the changes the Occupational Safety and Health Administration made to its recordkeeping requirements | ||||||||||||||
| effective January 1, 2002: therefore estimates for these industries are not comparable to estimates | ||||||||||||||
| in other industries. | ||||||||||||||
| 4 Data for employers in rail transportation are provided to BLS by the Federal Railroad | ||||||||||||||
| Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation. | ||||||||||||||
| NOTE: Dashes indicate data that are not available. Because of rounding and data exclusion | ||||||||||||||
| of nonclassifiable responses, data may not sum to the totals. | ||||||||||||||
