                     Civilian Labor Force includes all persons in the civilian
                     noninstitutional population ages 16 and older classified as either
                     employed or unemployed.
                     
                     Employed persons are all persons who, during the reference week (the
                     week including the 12th day of the month), (a) did any work as paid
                     employees, worked in their own business or profession or on their own
                     farm, or worked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers in an enterprise
                     operated by a member of their family, or (b) were not working but who
                     had jobs from which they were temporarily absent because of vacation,
                     illness, bad weather, childcare problems, maternity or paternity
                     leave, labor-management dispute, job training, or other family or
                     personal reasons, whether or not they were paid for the time off or
                     were seeking other jobs. Each employed person is counted only once,
                     even if he or she holds more than one job.
                     
                     Unemployed persons are all persons who had no employment during the
                     reference week, were available for work, except for temporary illness,
                     and had made specific efforts to find employment some time during the
                     4 week-period ending with the reference week. Persons who were waiting
                     to be recalled to a job from which they had been laid off need not
                     have been looking for work to be classified as unemployed.
