Editor's Note
With this issue, seasonally adjusted unemployment and other labor force series
derived from the Current Population Survey (household survey) have been revised
to reflect updated seasonal adjustment factors which incorporate the experience
through December 2003. As a result, seasonally adjusted data for 1999-2003 are
subject to revision. Revised seasonally adjusted data appear in summary table A,
tables A-1 through A-12, and D-1 through D-10. Historical seasonally adjusted
monthly and quarterly data also are available on the Internet at ftp://ftp.bls.gov/pub/
special.requests/f/.
The article beginning on page 3 discusses the effect of the revisions, describes the
seasonal adjustment method, and discusses the introduction of the use of concurrent
seasonal adjustment for the household survey data.
Annual average data from the household survey also are published in this issue.
The data reflect the introduction of data for Asians, new race definitions, and new
occupational and industry classification systems.
