NOTE: This series reflects seasonally adjusted Current Population Survey employment levels that have been revised to smooth out the effects of population control adjustments introduced each January. Data from 1990–1999 were revised to smooth out the effect of the Census 2000 population control adjustment. Data from 2000–2011 were revised to smooth out the effect of the Census 2010 population control adjustment.

This is a research series and will not match the official employment estimates in BLS publications or the BLS website databases.
