Note: Significant changes are calculated at a 90-percent confidence level. The
variance for total nonfarm is an approximation because government and rail
transportation are not based on a probability sample


Hover over chart to view data.
The 90-percent confidence interval represents the symmetric range of values
around the estimate for which there is a 90-percent probability
that the actual change is contained within that range of values. If the change
is statistically significant, the blue bar does not cross the zero line.
