Values and distributions are subject to change as PBGC completes reviews.
Industry classifi cations for PBGC claims are based on the Standard Industrial Classifi cation (SIC) system. Therefore the results in this table may not be directly comparable to other industry tables based on the North American Industry Classification (NAIC) system. Changes from last year's table are due to new claims and the use of the new industrial classification system.
