1,275 of 1,285 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 169. The crop cuts the table off after "Printing and Related Support Activities"; the table continues below (and the footnote text for the raised 1 on the stub heading "Industrial Group" is not visible on this crop, so `footnotes` is empty). 15 columns: stub, "Total elections", four columns under "Number of elections in which representation rights were won by unions", three tall single columns, four columns under "Valid votes cast for unions", then "Total votes for no union" and "Eligible employees in units choosing representation". Hyphenated headings were rejoined ("Total elec-tions", "no rep-resenta-tive", "em-ployees", "employ-ees ... choos-ing rep-resentati on"). Comma usage is inconsistent in the original and is transcribed as printed: the "Number of employees eligible to vote" and "Eligible employees in units choosing representation" columns print four- and five-digit figures without digit-grouping commas (2061, 1274, 5931, 8075, 8639, 3010, 11988, 1892; 3782, 5347, 3947, 4401), while the other columns use commas (1,919; 4,395; 10,602). Indented rows "Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing, and Hunting", "Mining", "Construction" and "31-Manufacturing" are subtotal lines; all four add up correctly against the detail rows above them, which supports the column alignment. No misprints detected. All cells were legible.
p. 170. The crop is a "—Continued" page: column headings are printed, but the body continues a table begun on the previous page and is cut off at the bottom of this page (the last printed row, "Furniture and Home Furnishings Stores", is complete; further rows follow on the next page). The "32-Manufacturing" subtotal row is larger than the sum of the four industry rows above it on this page (e.g. total elections 121 vs. 89 for the four listed rows), because the earlier members of NAICS group 32 are printed on the preceding page. This is not a misprint. By contrast, "33-Manufacturing" and "Wholesale Trade" reconcile exactly with the rows printed above them here, in all 14 numeric columns. The footnote marker "1" on the stub heading "Industrial Group" is printed, but no footnote text appears on this crop (it is presumably printed on the table's first page), so `footnotes` is empty. Digit grouping is inconsistent in the original and is transcribed as printed: the "Number of employees eligible to vote" column and the final "Eligible employees in units choosing representation" column print four- and five-digit numbers without commas (1804, 2635, 9798, 21098, 1172, 3282, 4352, 3704, 10220), while the adjacent "Total valid votes cast" and vote columns use commas. No cells were illegible or doubtful; all vote components (AFL-CIO + other national + other local) sum to their printed "Valid votes cast for unions — Total", and that total plus "Total votes for no union" equals "Total valid votes cast" in every row.
p. 171. 15 columns: stub, "Total elections", four columns under "Number of elections in which representation rights were won by unions", "Number of elections in which no representative was chosen", "Number of employees eligible to vote", "Total valid votes cast", four columns under "Valid votes cast for unions", "Total votes for no union", and "Eligible employees in units choosing representation". This is a continuation page: the column headings are printed, so they are transcribed, but the table starts above and continues below this crop (the body begins mid-way through the 44-Retail Trade block and the last printed row here is "Couriers and Messengers", with the 49-sector subtotal falling on the next page). The stub heading carries footnote marker 1, but no footnote text is printed within the crop, so `footnotes` is empty. Printed-figure anomalies, transcribed exactly as shown and not corrected: (a) "Miscellaneous Store Retailers" shows 219 employees eligible to vote but 239 total valid votes cast (the 239 is internally consistent with 99 + 140); (b) "Postal Service" shows 106 eligible to vote but 130 total valid votes cast (consistent with 128 + 2). (c) The "44-Retail Trade" subtotal exceeds the sum of the industry rows visible here because the earlier rows of that sector are on the preceding page; the "45-Retail Trade" and "48-Transportation and Warehousing" subtotals do reconcile exactly with the rows printed above them on this page. Two subtotal rows are both labelled "Retail Trade" ("44-Retail Trade" and "45-Retail Trade"); that is as printed (NAICS sectors 44 and 45). All other rows cross-check: the union-total column equals AFL-CIO + other national + other local, and union total + no-union total equals total valid votes cast.
p. 172. Single-panel table, 15 columns, continued from the previous page (caption ends "—Continued") and continuing past the bottom of the crop: the last body row ("Waste Management and Remediation Services") sits directly on the bottom rule, and no footnote text appears on this crop, so the text of footnote marker 1 on the stub heading "Industrial Group" is not available here. Several sector rows that logically belong to groups beginning on the earlier page appear here only in part (e.g. "Warehousing and Storage" precedes the sector total "49-Transportation and Warehousing"). Typesetting of the figures is inconsistent in two columns: "Number of employees eligible to vote" and "Eligible employees in units choosing representation" print four- and five-digit values without digit-grouping commas (2689, 3306, 1077, 1051, 11766, 1551, 1165, 7901), while the adjacent vote columns use commas. These are transcribed exactly as printed. Indentation marks the hierarchy in the stub (summary rows such as "49-Transportation and Warehousing", "Information", "Finance and Insurance" and "Real Estate and Rental and Leasing" are indented relative to their component rows); indentation is not reproduced in the cell text. All visible row/column sums check out internally (e.g. Information 958+77+30=1,065; Administrative and Support Services 39+67+17=123), so no misprints are suspected. No illegible or doubtful cells.
p. 173. Continuation page of Table 16 (the "—Continued" caption confirms it); the table begins on earlier pages and the crop ends after "Other Services (except Public Administration)" at a double rule, so earlier industry groups and any grand total are outside this crop. 15 columns: stub, "Total elections", a four-column spanner "Number of elections in which representation rights were won by unions" (Total / AFL-CIO unions / Other national unions / Other local unions), three tall single headings ("Number of elections in which no representative was chosen", "Number of employees eligible to vote", "Total valid votes cast"), a four-column spanner "Valid votes cast for unions" (Total / AFL-CIO unions / Other national unions / Other local unions), then "Total votes for no union" and "Eligible employees in units choosing representation". Several headings are hyphenated across lines in the original and have been rejoined: "Total elec-tions", "no rep-resenta-tive was chosen", "Number of em-ployees eligible to vote", and "Eligible employ-ees in units choos-ing rep-resentati on" (the last word is broken as "resentati / on" in the print). The stub heading carries a superscript 1 ("Industrial Group^1"), but no footnote text is printed within this crop — the footnote presumably appears on the final page of the table, so `footnotes` is empty. Typesetting note (not an error): the "Number of employees eligible to vote" and "Eligible employees in units choosing representation" columns are printed without digit-grouping commas (e.g. 13317, 42691, 28590, 11892), while the other value columns use commas. Transcribed exactly as printed. Indentation distinguishes sector subtotal lines ("Educational Services", "Health Care and Social Assistance", "Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation", "Accommodation and Food Services", "Other Services (except Public Administration)") from the detail lines above them; indentation is not represented in the cells. All internal arithmetic was verified and is consistent: in every row the three union-type columns sum to their "Total", Total-won plus no-representative equals Total elections, union votes plus no-union votes equals Total valid votes cast, and each subtotal row equals the sum of its detail rows. No doubtful or illegible cells.
p. 174. Continuation page of Table 16; the column headings are reprinted here, so header_rows is filled. The crop carries a footnote marker (superscript 1) on the stub heading "Industrial Group", but no footnote text is printed on this image, so `footnotes` is empty — the note text presumably appears on the final page of the table. The table has 15 printed columns: stub, "Total elections", four columns under "Number of elections in which representation rights were won by unions" (Total / AFL-CIO unions / Other national unions / Other local unions), "Number of elections in which no representative was chosen", "Number of employees eligible to vote", "Total valid votes cast", four columns under "Valid votes cast for unions" (Total / AFL-CIO unions / Other national unions / Other local unions), "Total votes for no union", and "Eligible employees in units choosing representation". Hyphenated headings were rejoined: "Total elec-tions", "Number of elec-tions in which no rep-resenta-tive was chosen", "Number of em-ployees eligible to vote", and "Eligible employ-ees in units choos-ing rep-resentati on" (the last word is broken across lines as "resentati"/"on" in the original). Digit grouping is inconsistent in the source and is transcribed exactly as printed: "152788" (Number of employees eligible to vote) and "82570" (Eligible employees in units choosing representation) in the "Total, all industrial groups" row carry no comma, while the neighbouring "123,876", "70,697", etc. do; likewise "1089" in the "Public Administration" row. No value was altered. "Public Administration" and "Total, all industrial groups" are indented subtotal/total lines, each set off by a rule; their labels are kept as printed. All printed rows are internally consistent with their components (e.g. 556+559+88 = 1,203 and 1,203+965 = 2,168), so no misprint is suspected.
