   1  Area boundaries do not reflect official OMB definitions.
   p = preliminary.
   NOTE:  Data are counts of jobs by place of work.  Estimates subsequent to the current benchmark are
provisional and will be revised when new information becomes available.  Area definitions are based on Office
of Management and Budget Bulletin No. 09-01, dated November 20, 2008, and available at
http://www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm.  Areas in the six New England states are Metropolitan New England City and
Town Areas (NECTAs), while areas in other states are county-based.  Some metropolitan areas lie in two or more
states.  They are listed under the state that appears first in their titles.  Davenport-Moline-Rock Island,
Iowa-Ill., and Weirton-Steubenville, W. Va.-Ohio, are the exceptions in that they are listed under Illinois
and Ohio, respectively, for operational reasons.
