1/ Hispanic refers to people whose origin are Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American, or other
   Hispanic/Latino, regardless of race.
2/ Civilian Labor Force data for March 2001 in this table differ slightly from data for March 2001 published
   by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) due to the use by BLS of a composite estimation procedure that reduces
   sampling error, especially in estimates of month-to-month change.  In addition, the data in this table differ from
   annual-average data and from seasonally adjusted data published by BLS.
