The number of full-time and part-time paid employees, including salaried
officers of corporations and executives (but excluding proprietors of
unincorporated businesses) is an average for the year. This average was
derived by totaling the number of employees reported monthly (for full-
and part-time separately) for the period ending nearest the 15th of each
month, and dividing the sum by 12.

The total number of people in the
civilian labor force employed in the services includes all civilians 14
years old or over. The industry data represented here are derived from a
household enumeration, and may differ from data based on industry reports
from establishments (e.g. the decennial census uses its own industrial
classification system, and this enumeration represents an unduplicated
count, with each person enumerated once whether or not he or she works at
multiple establishments). Services represents people employed in: finance
(including banks, credit agencies, and investment companies), insurance,
and real estate; business services such as advertising, accounting,
auditing, and bookkeeping; repair services including automobile repair and
garages; personal services such as hotels and lodging places, dressmaking
and shoe repair shops, and laundering, cleaning, and dyeing services; and
professional and related services (including medical and other health
services, educational services, welfare, religious, legal, engineering,
and architectural services, and nonprofit membership organizations).
