1. Classified by industry of sales. In this table, petroleum is not shown as a separate major industry. Instead, in order to be consistent with the all-U.S.-business data, affiliate employment in the various petroleum subindustries is distributed among the other major industries. Thus, manufacturing includes petroleum and coal products, wholesale trade includes petroleum wholesale trade, retail trade includes gasoline service stations, and so on.

2. Classified by industry of establishment. These data are from table 6.4C of the "National Income and Product Accounts (NIPA) Tables" in the January 1992 and August 1993 issues of the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS. The total is equal to employment in private industries less the employment of depository institutions and private households. All-U.S. employment totals in this table differ from those shown in table 8; the data in table 8 are from BEA's Regional Economic Information System and are derived as the sum of the State estimates. The estimates in table 8, unlike those in this table, do not exclude employment in depository institutions, but do exclude U.S. residents temporarily employed abroad by U.S. businesses. They may also differ from the NIPA estimates in this table because of different data sources and revision schedules.

3. For consistency with the coverage of the all-U.S.-business employment data, U.S. affiliate employment in Puerto Rico, in "other U.S. areas," and in the "foreign" category was excluded from the U.S.-affiliate employment total when the percentage shares on this line were computed.

4. The affiliate and all-U.S.-business employment data in petroleum and coal products are not comparable and, hence, are not shown here, because affiliate employment in this industry includes a substantial number of nonmanufacturing employees. When a rough adjustment is made to remove the nonmanufacturing employees from the affiliate data, the affiliate share of all-U.S.-business employment in petroleum and coal products is about 28 percent in 1988, 36 percent in 1989, 39 percent in 1990, 39 percent in 1991, and 31 percent in 1992.

5. Excludes savings institutions and credit unions, which was reclassified to banking in the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification.

6. Excludes private households.

7. In the breakdown of employment by industry of sales, U.S. affiliates that filed long forms in the annual surveys had to specify their eight largest sales categories, and U.S. affiliates that filed short forms had to specify their three largest sales categories. Employment in all unspecified industries combined is shown on this line.
