        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.  Area definitions are
     based on Office of Management and Budget Bulletin No. 09-01, dated November 20, 2008, and available at
     http://www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm. Areas in the six New England states are Metropolitan New England City 
     and Town Areas (NECTAs), while areas in other states are county-based.  Some metropolitan areas lie in two
     or more states.  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.
