     1 Data on the number of jobseekers and the jobsearch methods used exclude persons on temporary layoff.
     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.  Updated population controls are
  introduced annually with the release of January data.
