USCAR reports separate base employees from other tertiary categories. For example, in an USCAR report, the 1965 tertiary sector (total of 189,000 persons) is broken down as follows: finance/insurance/real estate - 74,000 persons, Public utilities/transport and communications services - 18,000 persons, services - 34,000 persons, government - 27,000 persons, and US forces - 36,000 persons. As such, while the number of persons is the same, both sets of figures are displayed differently.
