Notes:
• Illinois monthly labor force,
unemployed and unemployment rates for years 2006-2010 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, non-farm jobs and unemployment insurance
claims inputs. Data were also smoothed to eliminate large monthly changes as a
result of volatility in the monthly household (CPS) survey. Comments and tables
distributed in prior Illinois unemployment rate news release materials should be
discarded because any analysis, including records, previously cited might no
longer be valid.
• Seasonally adjusted employment data for subsectors within industries are not
available. For not seasonally adjusted jobs data with greater industry detail,
go to
http://lmi.ides.state.il.us/cesfiles/cescurrent.htm.
• “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.
• 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.
