1/ Civilian Labor Force data shown in this report refect characteristics of the civilian 
noninstitutionalized population for March 2000 and are not adjusted for seasonal changes.  
Data released by the Department of Labor, 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.
