Source: 2002 Economic Census. The states are in descending order of sales or establishments (if sales data are missing for the majority). The symbol (D) appears when data are withheld to prevent disclosure of competitive information. States marked with (D) are sorted by number of establishments. A dash (-) indicates that the data element cannot be calculated. Shaded states on the state map indicate those states which have a proportionately greater representation in the industry than would be indicated by the state's population; the ratio is based on total sales or number of establishments. Shaded regions indicate where the industry is regionally most concentrated.

Source: 2002 Economic Census. The states are in descending order of sales or establishments (if sales data are missing for the majority). The symbol (D) appears when data are withheld to prevent disclosure of competitive information. States marked with (D) are sorted by number of establishments. A dash (-) indicates that the data element cannot be calculated. Shaded states on the state map indicate those states which have a proportionately greater representation in the industry than would be indicated by the state's population; the ratio is based on total sales or number of establishments. Shaded regions indicate where the industry is regionally most concentrated.

Source: 2002 Economic Census. The states are in descending order of sales or establishments (if sales data are missing for the majority). The symbol (D) appears when data are withheld to prevent disclosure of competitive information. States marked with (D) are sorted by number of establishments. A dash (-) indicates that the data element cannot be calculated. Shaded states on the state map indicate those states which have a proportionately greater representation in the industry than would be indicated by the state's population; the ratio is based on total sales or number of establishments. Shaded regions indicate where the industry is regionally most concentrated.
