What this report cannot tell you

Gap
licence titles in this scope — none matched 'Excavating and Loading Machine and Dragline Operators, Surface Mining', though it is licensed in 39 jurisdictions nationally. The title differs locally, or the record is held municipally.
occupation mix for NAICS 212321 — 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 212300, a broader grouping. Establishment counts are for 212321 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 39 is out of 54 searched, not out of 56. The unsearched jurisdictions are not evidence of no licence.
