1The 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 estáblishments. The 1949 number of such employees in each State of this Geographic Division is shown below. The approximated 1949 annual total pay roll shown 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.

3The percentage standard errors shown in this column 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:

(i) 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 bec ise 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.
