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. Some
divisions lie in more than one state, and some, like Camden, N.J., are totally outside the states under
which their metropolitan areas are listed.
