Note: Revised labor force estimates for 1990-1997 reflect incorporationof revised 1990 Census population inputs. In addition, the estimates startingwith January 1994 are not directly comparable to the data prior to thatdate due to the redesign of the Current Population Survey by the U.S. Bureauof Labor Statistics.
