FOR 1990 - 2000 Estimates of labor force and unemployment have been developed for administrative use as opposed to economic analysis, e.g., to assist in fund allocation under such programs as the Jobs Training Partnership Act, establishment of Urban Enterprise Zones, Labor Surplus classification and Immigration Act of 1990. The estimates are developed by determining each municipality's share of its county's unemployment and employment from 1990 U.S. Census data.
Labor force is the sum of employment and unemployment.
The unemployment rate is calculated by dividing unemployment by labor force. Users should also note that the sum of municipality estimates may not equal a county-wide total due to rounding.
