NOTE: Data refer to persons 16 years and over. Data for 2006, which were collected in the 2007 Annual Social and Economic Supplement to the Current Population Survey, are not strictly comparable with data for 2005 and earlier years because of the introduction of updated population controls, which are introduced annually with the release of January data. For additional information, see the technical note and "Adjustments to Household Survey Population Estimates in January 2007" in the February 2007 issue of Employment and Earnings, available on the Internet at http://www.bls.gov/cps/cps07adj.pdf.
