What this report cannot tell you

Gap
licence titles in this scope — none matched 'Chemical Equipment Operators and Tenders', though it is licensed in 48 jurisdictions nationally. The title differs locally, or the record is held municipally.
occupation mix for NAICS 325110 — 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 325000, a broader grouping. Establishment counts are for 325110 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 48 is out of 54 searched, not out of 56. The unsearched jurisdictions are not evidence of no licence.
