- This entry lists the percentage distribution of the labor force by sector of occupation. Agriculture includes farming, fishing, and forestry. Industry includes mining, manufacturing, energy production, and construction. Services cover government activities, communications, transportation, finance, and all other economic activities that do not produce material goods. The distribution will total less than 100 percent if the data are incomplete and may range from 99-101 percent due to rounding.

- QUOTE: Because the labor force status of individuals in the general population is correlated with their specific geographic and demographic identification (eg, teenagers and unemployment, or rural married women and labor force participation), the variance of the labor force estimates can be reduced by controlling the CPS sample estimates to independent estimates of selected geographic and demographic population categories.
