Highlights of the Texas Labor Force(Not Seasonally Adjusted)

All estimates are subject to revision. Estimates re ect actual (not seasonally adjusted) data. Civilian Labor Force (C.L.F.) includes wage and salary workers, self-employed, unpaid family, domestics inprivate households, agricultural workers, workers involved in labor disputes and the unemployed, all by place of residence. Employment and Unemployment data are rst rounded then added togethto derive the rounded CLF total. Because of this rounding technique, this rounded total of the CLF may not agree with a rounding of the CLF total itself. Percent Unemployed is based upon unroundedLabor Force, Employment and Unemployment numbers. Estimates of the TWC are in cooperation with the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor. Beginning with January 2005 estimates,de nitions of the MSAs were updated to re ect the 2000 Census-based con gurations. Please see www.tracer2.com for details on these changes. The Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington MSA is comprisedof the Dallas-Plano-Irving Metropolitan Division (MD) and the Fort Worth-Arlington MD.
