 (b) The 'Establishments (counts)' column is the total number of manufacturing establishments in the frame minus the number of ineligible establishments for poststratification. It includes those units which reported 

floorspace, plus those units where floorspace was not ascertained. To obtain the number of reporting establishments for any NAICS, divide the entry in the 'Approximate Enclosed Floorspace' column by the 

corresponding entry in the 'Average Enclosed Floorspace' column. For example, in the 'Total' row, (11,722 million sq ft) divided by (73,191.6 sq ft) equals 160,155, which is the number of reporting establishments 

(weighted) of the 226,813 total establishments.
