Knowing the number of employees that are in transportation-related jobs is not an easy<br />

task. The <strong>data</strong> below were summarized from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Current<br />

Employment Statistics Survey <strong>data</strong> using the North American Industry Classification<br />

System (NAICS). Employment statistics shown in previous <strong>edition</strong>s used the Standard<br />

Industrial Classification System (SIC) and do not match these <strong>data</strong> due to the differences<br />

between the two classification systems and other survey revisions by the BLS.<br />
