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.
