Why are the numbers that are reported in the economic sub sector tables different from the numbers reported in the sector summary tables for each sub sector?
The sector summary tables summarize the direct economic activity that was reported by over 16,000 cooperatives that participated in the study, out of over 29,000 cooperatives that were identified. These totals represent the lower bounds of direct economic activity by cooperatives, given that there exist other cooperatives that may not have been identified, and that some identified cooperatives did not participate in the study. These tables (4-2, 4-3, 4-4, are 4-5) have “Summary of key Economic Indicators” in their title. We are also providing an additional appendix titled “A4: Impact Sector Aggregates”. This impact is a stan The direct economic activity that is reported in the tables for each economic subsector has been adjusted to provide an extrapolated estimate of economic activity, given the pattern of survey response and non-response within that subsector. These numbers were used as part of the IMPLAN analysis (See Section 8.1 IMPLAN Methodology). Each of these tables (4-2.1 – 4-2
