Table SA07 -- Wage and Salary Disbursements by Industry

     Table SA07 presents BEA's State estimates of wage and salary
disbursements for Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) two-digit
industries. These estimates are on a place-of-work basis.
     The principal source data for the State estimates of wage and
salary disbursements are from the ES-202 series provided by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics. The ES-202 series provides monthly employment and
quarterly wages for each State (and county) in SIC four-digit detail.
BEA restricts its wage and salary estimates to the SIC Division
("one-digit") and two-digit levels and suppresses these estimates in
many individual cases in order to preclude the disclosure of information
about individual employers.
    Greater detail of the BEA State-level personal income methodology is
located in the PI_METH sub-directory of the SPI CD-ROM.  Please read
the file README.DOC in that directory, or select "1987-93 Methodology"
from the "Personal Income Methodology" submenu of the "Documentation"
menu.
