Notes:
(1) Estimates for June, 1964 (b) and later dates are on a revised basis of calculation and are not strictly comparable with estimates for June, 1964 (a) and earlier dates.
(2) Between June, 1966, and June, 1967 the industrial classifications of many establishments were corrected. The estimates for June, 1966, are shown on both bases, that is (a) excluding and (b) including these effects of reclassifications.
(3) Estimates for June, 1969 (a) and earlier dates are classified according to the Standard Industrial Classification (1958) and are not fully comparable therefore with the estimates for June, 1969 (b) and June, 1970 which are classified on the basis of the Standard Industrial Classification (1968).
