      NOTE:  Effectively with January 2009 data, industries reflect the introduction of the 2007 census industry classification system
  into the Current Population Survey.  This industry classification system is derived from the 2007 North American Industry
  Classification System.  No historical data have been revised.  Updated population controls are introduced annually with the release 
  of January data.
