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 have been revised

to reflect March 2011 benchmark levels and updated seasonal

adjustment factors. Unadjusted data from April 2010 forward

and seasonally adjusted data from January 2007 forward were

subject to revision. See the article in this issue for additional

information. See http://www.bls.gov/ces/cesbmart.pdf for additional
