This tells you the number of different areas thatyou can choose from. You can access those areas by either clickingdirectly on the Industry or by going to the next box below the Industrylistings. For example; let’s look at the very first one under “BrowseReports”, Accommodation and Food Services (13). We can eitherclick on it which brings you to another alphabetized listing showingspecific types of accommodation and food services in the US. Or just goto the box and look at the areas under Accommodation and Food Services. Let’s use the box and look at the very first one, Report number 72111 Hotels and Motels.
