Sector activity, however, was mixed with gains offsetting losses.
Increases appear to be seasonal due to summer construction hauling and moving.
Declines in this sector were also related to the end of the ski season as demand for transport to ski areas fell. Air Transportation shows an annual gain of 5771 employees. Trucking-Warehousing reported a loss of 3408 employees. Seasonal gains this quarter pared down the loss associated with the January SIC change. Increased demand for transport to and from ski and gambling areas created much of the gain.
