[1] Represents the sum of all employees during pay periods including 12th of March, May, August, and November, divided by 4.
[2] In earlier censuses, construction receipts only were collected. In 1987, the value of construction work was collected to better measure actual construction activity where no receipts were received.
[3] Data were collected separately for establishments classified in SIC 1531 (Operative Builders) and SIC 6552 (Land Subdividers and Developers, Except Cemeteries). For all other industries, data are included in Other business receipts.
[4] Represents value of construction work less costs for construction work subcontracted to others.
[5] Represents dollar value of business done less costs for construction work subcontracted to others and costs for materials, components, supplies and fuels. In SICs 1531 and 6552, land receipts are also subtracted from dollar value of business done.
