\1\The labor force includes all employed persons plus those seeking employment. The
labor force participation rate is the percentage of persons either employed or seeking
employment. The unemployment rate is the percent of persons in the labor force who
are seeking employment.
NOTE: Data are based upon sample surveys of the civilian noninstitutional population. Includes dropouts from any grade, including a small number from elementary and middle schools. Percents are only shown when the base is 75,000 or greater. Even though the standard errors are large, smaller estimates are shown to permit users to combine categories in various ways. Detail for the above race and Hispanic-origin groups will not sum to totals because data for the "other races" group are not presented and Hispanics are included in both the white and black population groups. Some data have been revised from previously published figures. Detail may not sum to totals due to rounding.
