Notes: Data of 1990 refer to May and in the same year "Wholesale and Retail Trade"and "Hotels and Restaurants"were grouped as one category.

              Data on employment by industry of 1997 and earlier were classified according to "Classification of Economic Activities of Macao, Version

              1"while "Classification of Economic Activities of Macao, Revision 1"has been applied since 1998.The major difference between the two       

              versions is the classification of "Interior Decoration", which was categorized under "Community, social and personal services"in the Version

              1 and in "Construction"in Revision 1.

           Figures of 1999 are subject to revisions as more data become available.

           Pataca (MOP) is the legal tender in the Macao Special Administrative Region, as stated in "The Basic Law of the Macao Special

              Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China".  

            Excluded students of special education. The number of students of year N refer to the students at the end of academic year N/N+1. 

            The Chinese term used in the publications of the Macao Special Administrative Region is "本地生产总值".
