| Note: Caution should be used when comparing the 1996 labor force series with other |
| years. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has indicated that revisions to the |
| 1996 state labor force series were larger than can be attributed to sampling variability |
| alone. Comparisons of 1996 data with other years may not be statistically meaningful. |
