Metropolitan Division are available at
http://lmi.ides.state.il.us/laus/icmaur.htm.
·
Illinois monthly labor force,
unemployed and unemployment rates for years 2004-2008 have been revised as
required by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. In February of each year,
monthly labor force data for all states are revised to reflect updated
Census population controls, seasonal factors and state supplied non-farm
jobs and UI claims inputs. The revised monthly data are also smoothed to
eliminate large changes as a result of volatility in the monthly household
(CPS) survey. Comments and tables distributed for prior monthly Illinois
unemployment rate news releases should be discarded. Any records and other
historical analysis previously cited for Illinois labor force, number of
unemployed and unemployment rates may no longer be valid under the revised
monthly time series.
