Health Services.
1 The computation of full-time equivalent staff is based on a 40-hour
work week.
2 For 1972–78, this category included all psychologists with
a B.A. degree and above; for 1986–94, it included only psychologists with
an M.A. degree and above.
3 Workers in this category have less than a B.A. degree.
