(1) The definitions for paid sick leave and short--term disability
(previously sickness and accident insurance) were changed for the 1995
survey. Paid sick leave now includes only plans that specify either a
maximum number of days per year or unlimited days. Short-terms
disability now includes all insured, self-insured, and State-mandated
plans available on a per-disability basis, as well as the unfunded
per-disability plans previously reported as sick leave. Sickness and
accident insurance, reported in years prior to this survey, included
only insured, self-insured, and State-mandated plans providing
per-disability benefits at less than full pay.
(2) Prior to 1995, reimbursement accounts included premium conversion
plans, which specifically allow medical plan participants to pay
required plan premiums with pretax dollars. Also, reimbursement
accounts that were part of flexible benefit plans were tabulated
separately.

(1) Methods used to calculate the average number of paid holidays were
revised in 1994 to count partial days more precisely. Average holidays
for 1994 are not comparable with those reported in 1990 and 1992.
(2) The definitions for paid sick leave and short-term disability
(previously sickness and accident insurance) were changed for the 1996
survey. Paid sick leave now includes only plans that specify either a
maximum number of days per year or unlimited days. Short-term
disability now includes all insured, self-insured, and State-mandated
plans available on a per-disability basis, as well as the unfunded
per-disability plans previously reported as sick leave.
Sickness and accident insurance, reported in years prior to this
survey, included only insured, self-insured, and State-mandated plans
providing per-disability benefits at less than full pay.
(3) Prior to 1996, reimbursement accounts included premium conversion
plans, which specifically allow medical plan participants to pay
required plan premiums with pretax dollars. Also, reimbursement
accounts that were part of flexible benefit plans were tabulated
separately.

M--Every month.

(2) Regions defined as the four Census regions.
(3) Indexes on a December 1996 = 100 base.
(4) The "North Central" region has been renamed the "Midwest" region by
the Census Bureau. It is composed of the same geographic entities.
(5) Indexes on a December 1986 = 100 base.
(6) In addition, the following metropolitan areas are published
semiannually and appear in tables 34 and 39 of the January and July
issues of the CPI Detailed Report: Anchorage, AK; Cincinnatti,
OH--KY--IN; Kansas City, MO--KS; Milwaukee--Racine, WI;
Minneapolis--St. Paul, MN--WI; Pittsburgh, PA; Port-land--Salem,
OR--WA; St Louis, MO--IL; San Diego, CA; Tampa--St.
Petersburg--Clearwater, FL.
(7) Indexes on a November 1996 = 100 base.
NOTE: Local area CPI indexes are byproducts of the national CPI
program. Each local index has a smaller sample size and is, therefore,
subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error. As
a result, local area indexes show greater volatility than the national
index, although their long-term trends are similar. Therefore, the
Bureau of Labor Statistics strongly urges users to consider adopting
the national average CPI for use in their escalator clauses. Index
applies to a month as a whole, not to any specific date.

NOTE: Dash indicates data not available. Quarterly figures for
Japan, France, Germany, Italy, and Sweden are catculated by
applying annual adjustment factors to current published data, and
therefore should be viewed as less precise indicators of
unemployment under U.S concepts than the annual figures. See
"Notes on the data" for information on breaks in series.
for further qualifications and historical data, see Comparative
Civilian Labor Force Statistics, Ten Countries, 1960-2004 (Bureau

(1) Data for 1989 and subsequent years are based on the Standard
Industrial Classification Manual, 1987 Edition. For this reason, they
are not strictly comparable with data for the years 1985--88, which
were based on the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, 1972
Edition, 1977 Supplement.
(2) Beginning with the 1992 survey, the annual survey measures only
nonfatal injuries and illnesses, while past surveys covered both fatal
and nonfatal incidents. To better address fatalities, a basic element
of workplace safety, BLS implemented the Census of Fatal Occupational
Injuries.
(3) The incidence rates represent the number of injuries and illnesses
or lost workdays per 100 full-time workers and were calculated as
(N/EH) X 200.000, where: N = number of injuries and illnesses or lost
workdays;
EH = total hours worked by all employees during the calendar year; and
200,000 = base for 100 full-time equivalent workers (working 40 hours
per week, 50 weeks per year).
(4) Beginning with the 1993 survey, lost workday estimates will not be
generated. As of 1992 BLS began generating percent distributions and
the median number of days away from work by industry and for groups of
workers sustaining similar work disabilities.
(5) Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees since 1976.
