What this report cannot tell you

Gap
licence gate — the only occupation matched is 'Meat, Poultry, and Fish Cutters and Trimmers' at 18.62% 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 this scope — none matched 'Meat, Poultry, and Fish Cutters and Trimmers', though it is licensed in 1 jurisdictions nationally. The title differs locally, or the record is held municipally.
occupation mix for NAICS 311613 — 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 311600, a broader grouping. Establishment counts are for 311613 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.
