Notes:
 

·         Seasonally-adjusted employment data for subsectors within industries are not available.

·         “Other Services” includes a wide range of activities in three broad categories:  Personal and laundry; repair and maintenance; and religious, grant making, civic and professional organizations.  For a list of all activities under Other Services and all other industry sectors, go to http://www.census.gov/epcd/naics02/naico602.htm.

·         For not-seasonally-adjusted jobs data showing greater industry detail, go to http://lmi.ides.state.il.us/cesfiles/cescurrent.htm.

·         Monthly seasonally adjusted unemployment rates for Illinois and the Chicago-Naperville-Joliet Metropolitan Division are available at:  http://lmi.ides.state.il.us/laus/icmaur.htm.

·         Per the U.S. Dept. of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), effective with the release of state and local data for February 2006, the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program will no longer revise the prior month’s estimates each month.  Estimates from the LAUS program will be subject to revision at the beginning of the following calendar year.  This change, which results from reduced funding as part of the rescission in the BLS fiscal year 2006 appropriation, applies to all of the more than 7,200 LAUS geographic areas throughout the nation.
