1/Occupations For which there are fewer than 10 claimants have not been individually identified but are included in the totals.
2/D.O.T. codes are based on the Dictionary of Occupational Titles, Fourth Edition, Revised 1991. Some unrevised codes appear when the claimants file was initially coded before June 1992. Sometimes the D.O.T. code is incomplete. If the general category is known, it is included in the category total and the "ALL OTHER" sub-category, otherwise it is included in the "MISC., NOT ELSEWHERE CLASSIFIED-ALL OTHER."
