\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.
NOTE: Data are based upon sample surveys of the civilian noninstitutional population. 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 may not sum to totals due to rounding. Detail for the above race and Hispanic-origin groups will not sum to totals because data for the "other races" groups are not presented and Hispanics are included in both the white and black population groups.
