The files in this directory contain a number of files related to Version 2.2
of the ALMIS Database.  The files are:

ALMIS2-2_release.zip	This is the official complete release package including 
			database structure and trigger documents

ALMIS2-2_Addendum.zip	This file contains an addendum to the ALMIS 2.2 Database
			structure, several exhibits, and an Access database with the related
			NAICS tables and an industry table with the 2001 national CEW data that
			is NAICS based.

			The Structure Committee is releasing this addendum in order to
			accommodate the new BLS upward extensions of the North American Industry
			Classification System (NAICS), which are commonly referred to as
			Supersectors.

			The “tables” exhibit is intended to show the relationship of the NAICS
			tables and the “industry” exhibit is intended to show the Supersector
			summaries that appear at the beginning of the file.

			The addendum also includes changes to the ces and cescode tables in
			order to accommodate the switch to NAICS based series codes.

			Please note that the NCSC has made a set of NAICS and CEW
			files available within the next two to three weeks.
