\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. 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. Because of rounding, details may not add to totals.
