A
Manufacturing Establishments by Size and State

The two tables in this appendix summarize "Number of Employees" data from the Bureau of Census, County Business Patterns. The tables contain the number of establishments grouped by size of employment. For example, cells under the column heading "1–4 means the total number of establishments in a particular state that has at least one employee and no more than four employees. The "Percentage of Establishments" columns reflects the distribution of the facilities according to the same size groupings.

Each table is arranged in order of the total number of manufacturing establishments in each state from highest to lowest totals. The "Change 80–90" reflects percentage changes during the period 1980–1990 in the number of establishments according to the size groupings of employees, and the change in proportion of the total that each size category represents. Table 2 consolidates the three smallest size groupings shown in Table 1.
