For 2000, the growth rates are calculated from the fourth quarter of 1999 to the third quarter of 2000 and annualized. <2> The difference between revised and earlier growth rates primarily reflect the modification to the definition of advanced and primary processing industries. <3> Semiconductors include related electronic components. Note-Primary processing manufacturing includes textile mill products, paper and products, industrial chemicals, synthetic materials, and fertilizers, petroleum products, rubber and plastics products, lumber and products, primary metals, fabricated metals, stone, clay, and glass products, semiconductors and related electronic components, and motor vehicle parts. Advanced processing manufacturing includes foods, tobacco products, apparel products, printing and publishing, chemical products and other agricultural chemicals, leather and products, furniture and fixtures, industrial and commercial machinery and computer equipment, electrical machinery except semiconductors and related electronic components, transportation equipment except motor vehicle parts, instruments, and miscellaneous manufactures.
