What this report cannot tell you
| Gap |
|---|
| licence gate — the only occupation matched is 'Automotive Body and Related Repairers' at 33.35% of this industry's employment, licensed in 2 of 56 jurisdictions. Reported, but too narrow to be read as this industry's barrier to entry. |
| occupation mix for NAICS 811122 — 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 811120, a broader grouping. Establishment counts are for 811122 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 2 is out of 54 searched, not out of 56. The unsearched jurisdictions are not evidence of no licence. |
