Data exclusivity is tied to this NAICS classification, which includes companies primarily engaged in remediation and cleanup of contaminated sites, hazardous waste, and related environmental services. Details such as self-employment or federal workers not covered under state unemployment insurance are not included.

The data is public domain but proper attribution is required.
- Subject to revision as administrative records update
