|				Annual Revisions to the State JOLTS Data				 |
|													 |
|The JOLTS state data are revised annually to reflect updates to the JOLTS national estimates, the 	 |
|Current Employment Statistics (CES) employment estimates, and the Quarterly Census of Employment	 | 
|and Wages (QCEW) through fourth quarter 2025. This annual benchmarking process results in revisions	 |
