        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.
