  1 Data on the number of jobseekers and the jobsearch methods used exclude persons on temporary layoff.
   NOTE:  The jobseeker total is less than the total unemployed because it does not include persons on temporary layoff.  The
percent using each method will always total more than 100 because many jobseekers use more than one method. Beginning in January
1999, data reflect revised population controls used in the household survey.
