Note: Revised labor force estimates for 1990-1995 reflect incorporation of revised 1990 Census population inputs. In addition, the estimates starting with January 1994 are not directly comparable to the data prior to that date due to the redesign of the Current Population Survey by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
