  1 Includes mining and logging, information, and other services (except public administration), not shown
separately.
  2 This series is not published seasonally adjusted because the seasonal component, which is small relative to the
trend-cycle and irregular components, cannot be separated with sufficient precision.
  3 Mining and logging is combined with construction.
  p = preliminary.
  NOTE: Data are counts of jobs by place of work.  Estimates are currently projected from 2008 benchmark levels.  
Estimates subsequent to the current benchmarks are provisional and will be revised when new information becomes
available.
