1Based on seasonally adjusted data for 1-, 3-, and 6-month spans

and unadjusted data for the 12-month span.

p= preliminary.

NOTE: Figures are the percent of industries with employment increasing

plus one-half of the industries with unchanged employment, where

50 percent indicates an equal balance between industries with

increasing and decreasing employment. Data are currently projected

from March 2011 benchmark levels. When more recent benchmark

data are introduced with the release of January 2013 estimates,

all unadjusted data from April 2011 forward and all seasonally

adjusted data from January 2008 forward are subject to revision.
