Section 3: **2012 Time Trends**

**This section presents monthly and annual time trends for employment and poverty statistics.  There are two sources used in this section. Monthly time trends are from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Data Retrieval System and are based on data from the Current Population Survey-Basic Monthly Survey (CPS-BMS). Annual time trends were produced by the authors using data from the Current Population Survey-Annual Social and Economic Supplement (CPS-ASEC), which is fielded annually in March.**
