       rather than firms.  An establishment is a single physical location where business is conducted or where services or industrial
       operations are performed.  In general, the following types of establishments are excluded: government (except for government
       operated hospitals), railroads, those businesses consisting only of self-employed persons and agricultural production.
       Additionally, domestic servants are excluded.
