FAQ F-00102
Do jobs from each Type B industry sector need to be 50% or less of all local jobs available?

Yes. 

Industry sectors in the Type B category are considered separately.

I.e., In order to demonstrate compliance with Credit 18.2A 'Diverse Local Employment', no more than 50% of all jobs in the local area can be from a single Type B industry sector. 

See Submission Guidelines for industry sector classifications.
