Notes:               Labor compensation, defined as payroll plus supplemental payments, is
                     a measure of the cost to the employer of securing the services of
                     labor. Payroll includes salaries, wages, commissions, dismissal pay,
                     bonuses, vacation and sick leave pay, and compensation in kind.
                     Supplemental payments include both legally required expenditures and
                     payments for voluntary programs. The legally required portion consists
                     primarily of federal old age and survivors’ insurance, unemployment
                     compensation, and workers’ compensation. Payments for voluntary
                     programs include all programs not specifically required by
                     legislation, such as the employer portion of private health insurance
                     and pension plans.
