Footnotes
(1) Needed value represents the minimum change needed to be statistically significant at a 90% confidence level. Effective with the release of January 2023 data, these values are based on standard error models that are updated monthly.

- Standard errors cannot be calculated for population levels.

NOTE: Data are seasonally adjusted except for civilian noninstitutional population. Detail for the seasonally adjusted data shown in this table will not necessarily add to totals because of the independent seasonal adjustment of the various series. People whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race. Differences published in this table may not match differences published elsewhere due to rounding. Updated population controls are introduced annually with the release of January data. Any changes in this table that compare data before and after January (such as the over-the-month change from December to January) do not account for the effects of the updated population controls. For additional information see www.bls.gov/web/empsit/cps-pop-control-adjustments.pdf.
