[1] Data are confidential because there are fewer than three businesses in this category, or one employer makes up 80 percent of the employment within the cell.
[2] Data are suppressed because confidential data could be extrapolated if those totals were included.
[3] Data for Oakland Mining, size "1000+" combined with size "500-999" to prevent disclosure of confidential data. Further suppression of this data was also necessary (see Footnote [1]).
