Data Notes:
- This layer is updated automatically when the BLS releases their most current monthly statistics. The layer always contains the most recent estimates. It is updated within days of the BLS's county release schedule. BLS releases their county statistics roughly 2 months after-the-fact.
- The data is joined to 2021 TIGER boundaries from the U.S. Census Bureau.
- Monthly values are subject to revision over time.
- For national values, employed plus unemployed may not sum to total labor force due to rounding.
- As of the January 2022 estimates released on March 18th, 2022, BLS is reporting new data for the two new census areas in Alaska - Copper River and Chugach - and historical data for the previous census area - Valdez Cordova.
