1  Estimates made in accordance with the U.S. Department of Labor.
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.
