Abstract:This is the monthly data for U.S. employment and unemployment by state including some numbers for Puerto Rico. This dataset was accessed on April 7th 2008. The data for February 2008 are preliminary.  The data presented are seasonally adjusted although the unadjusted numbers are also available. Unavailable data are represented as -1. The dataset is taken from Tables 3 and 5 from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. It includes the civilian labor force, the unemployed in numbers and percentages, and employment by industry. Data from table 3 "refer to place of residence.  Data for Puerto Rico are derived from a monthly household survey similar to the Current Population Survey.  Area definitions are based on Office of Management and Budget Bulletin No. 08-01, dated November 20, 2007, and are available at http://www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm.  Estimates for the latest month are subject to revision the following month". Data from table 5 "are counts of jobs by place of work.  Estimates are currently projected from 2007 benchmark levels. Estimates subsequent to the current benchmarks are provisional and will be revised when new information becomes available.  Data reflect the conversion to the 2007 version of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) as the basis for the assignment and tabulation of economic data by industry, replacing NAICS 2002.
