NOTES: Data refer to the sole
or principal job of full- and part-time workers. All self-employed
workers are excluded, regardless of whether their businesses are
incorporated. Data are based on one-fourth of the full sample (the
outgoing rotation groups). As a result, employment levels may not
match the official annual average employment figures issued by the
Local Area Unemployment Statistics
program.
