August have been corrected in the BLS news release USDL 08-0977, "Regional State Employment and Unemployment: June 2008," issued on July 18, 2008. 2 Area boundaries do not reflect official OMB definitions. p = preliminary. c = corrected. NOTE: Data are counts of jobs by place of work. Estimates subsequent to the current benchmark are provisional and will be revised when new information becomes available.

They are listed under the state that appears first in their titles. Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, Iowa-Ill., and Weirton-Steubenville, W. Va.-Ohio, are the exceptions in that they are listed under Illinois and Ohio, respectively, for operational reasons. Classification System (NAICS) as the basis for the assignment and tabulation of economic data by industry, replacing NAICS 2002. For more details, see http://www.bls.gov/sae/saenaics07.htm.
