What this report cannot tell you
| Gap |
|---|
| licence gate — the only occupation matched is 'Automotive Service Technicians and Mechanics' at 20.27% of this industry's employment, licensed in 4 of 56 jurisdictions. Reported, but too narrow to be read as this industry's barrier to entry. |
| occupation mix for NAICS 441110 — 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 441100, a broader grouping. Establishment counts are for 441110 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 4 is out of 54 searched, not out of 56. The unsearched jurisdictions are not evidence of no licence. |
| bonding_required_usd — no producer, and not estimated |
