*  Where an employment estimate is not entered, either the data is not available in sufficient detail for publication or is nondisclosable by law.
** The 2008 estimates for this area are not validated or published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.
1/ Nonfarm wage and salary employment estimates include all full- and part-time wage and salary workers who worked during or received pay for the pay period which includes the 12th of the month. Domestic workers in private households, proprietors, the self-employed, and unpaid family workers are excluded. Estimates measure the number of jobs by industry. Current month’s estimates are preliminary; prior month and year-ago estimates are revised. These estimates are benchmarked to March 2007. As a measure of reliability, the March 2007 benchmark revision for total nonfarm wage and salary employment was 0.05 percent higher than the original sample-based estimate.
2/ Regular teachers are included in summer months whether or not specifically paid in those months.
