\1\The labor force includes all employed persons plus those seeking employment. The labor force
participation rate is the percentage of persons either employed or seeking employment.
\2\Includes 16- to 24-year-olds who graduated from high school between January and October 1996. \3\Includes persons of Hispanic origin. \4\Persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race. \5\Data not shown where base is less than 75,000. \6\Includes 16- to 24-year-olds who graduated from high school between January and October 1997. NOTE.--Data are based upon sample surveys of the civilian noninstitutional population. Percents are only shown when the base is 75,000 or greater. Even though the standard errors are large, smaller estimates are shown to permit users to combine categories in various ways. Because of rounding, details may not add to totals. Detail for the above race and Hispanic-origin groups will not sum to totals because data for the "other races" groups are not presented and Hispanics are included in both the white and black population groups.
