Note: This table is based on responses about the respondent's industry for the first job listed on the respondent's roster, which is typically his or her current or most recent job (e.g., YEMP_INDCODE-2002.01). The universe is respondents who reported that their current or most recent job was a civilian employee-type job; military, freelance, and self-employment are not included. Some respondents reported a military occupation in the civilian question series. They may actually be civilians, or they may be members of the Armed Forces who reported their class of worker incorrectly.
