swithheld because the estimate did not meet publication standards, either on the basis of the associated standard error of estimate or on the basis of consistency review.

The averages for 1950 and 1949 are based on employment reported for the four pay periods ending nearest the 15th of March, May, August, and November. The figures do not include employees reported separately at central administrative offices and auxiliary establishments. The 1949 number of such employees in each States of this Geographic Division is shown below. The approximated 1949 annual total pay roll sho was derived by multiplying by four the first quarter 1949 taxable pay roll figures listed in the joint Census-BOASI publication, "County Business Patterns." OASI program data for 1950 were not available for this publication.

3 The percentage standard errors shown in this colum indicate the difference that can be expected between the estimates and comparable complete canvass totals, because of sampling fluctuations. The estimates will differ from the complete totals by less than:

(1) The percentage shown: approximately 2 times out of 3
(11) Twice the percentage shown: approximately 19 times out of 20

(iii) Three times the percentage shown: almost always "The Annual Survey estimates for industry group 24, "Lumber and wood products, except furniture," tend to be understated because of incomplete coverage of logging camps and logging contractors not operating sawmills (Standard Industrial Classification Industry 2411). This undercoverage is estimated at less than 5 percent.

SThe 1950 and 1949 figures for major group 24 are not strictly comparable with 1947 data. In 1947 only sawmills that produced more than 200,000 board feet of lumber were required to report the information shown in this table, whereas in 1950 and 1949 it was requested of all sawmills. It is estimated that all mills in the United States producing less than 200,000 board feet account for approximately 3 percent of total employment for major group 24. No estimate has been made of the importance of these small mills for individual States or Geographic Divisions.
