      NOTE:  The jobseekers 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.  Estimates for the
   above race groups (white, black or African American, and Asian) do not sum to totals because data are not presented  for all races. 
   Persons whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race.  Updated population controls are introduced annually
   with the release of January data.
