Concentration is this occupation's share of employment here divided by its share across every industry we hold — how much this industry is made of that job. Above 8× it is a defining occupation; near 1× it is a job every industry has, like a manager or an office clerk. Which licence gates OPERATING the business depends on the jurisdiction and on how the business is structured, and we do not assert it.

| demand density for 33 — CBP suppresses small cells for disclosure |
| licence gate — the only occupation matched is 'Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic' at 7.95% of this industry's employment, licensed in 1 of 56 jurisdictions. Reported, but too narrow to be read as this industry's barrier to entry. |
| licence titles in 33 — none matched 'Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic', though it is licensed in 1 jurisdictions nationally. The title differs locally, or the record is held municipally. |
| occupation mix for NAICS 331314 — the labour statistics carry no rows at this level, so everything about occupations here, including the defining occupation and its licence gate, is measured at NAICS 331300, a broader grouping. Establishment counts are for 331314 itself. |
| licence coverage — the register holds 54 of 56 US licensing jurisdictions, and 2,504 of its records carry no jurisdiction at all. A count of 1 is out of 54 searched, not out of 56. The unsearched jurisdictions are not evidence of no licence. |
