*    Withheld to avoid disclosing confidential data.  Data that are not disclosed for individual industries are always
     included in the totals. 
1   Average annual covered wages are calculated by dividing total annual wages by average employment for the year. 
     Calculations based on unrounded numbers.  Data are by location of the employer's establishment and represent
     wages covered by New Mexico unemployment insurance (UI) law and related statutes.  For a complete definition
     of covered employment see the attached definition sheet.
2   Data by industry from 2001 forward are not generally comparable with industry data for prior years posted elsewhere
     on this web site.  Prior to 2001, industry categories are based on the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system. 
     This system was replaced  with the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).  The "Grand Total", along
      with the "State Government" and "Federal Government" sectors are the exceptions.  Data for these three categories
     are comparable from 1990 forward.
3   The unclassified category may include data for other industries that were withheld for reasons of confidentiality.
