Errata
In the article “Industry output and employment projections to
2016,” which appeared on pages 53–85 in the November 2007
issue, incorrect employment data were shown for four industries: Local government enterprises except passenger transit;
Local government excluding enterprises, educational services,
and hospitals; State government enterprises; State government
excluding enterprises, educational services, and hospitals. This
affected tables 3 and 4 and the appendix. The changes to these
tables are shown in bold font.
In table 3 (pages 58–59), the employment data for Local
government excluding enterprises, educational services, and
hospitals were revised, and as a result, the industry is no longer among the fastest growing. Several industries moved up
in rank, and Office administrative services and Architectural,
engineering, and related services have been added to the industries with the fastest growing wage and salary employment.
