(1) The population figures are not seasonally adjusted.

(2) Civilian employment as a percent of the civilian noninstitutional
population.

(3) Beginning in 2003, persons who selected this race group only;
persons who selected more than one race group are not included. Prior
to 2003, persons who reported more than one race were included in the
group they identified as the main race.

NOTE: Estimates for the above race groups (white and black or African
American) do not sum to totals because data are not presented for all
races. In addition, persons whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic
or Latino may be of any race and, therefore, are classified by
ethnicity as well as by race. Beginning in January 2003, data reflect
revised population controls used in the household survey.

(1) The definitions for paid sick leave and short-term disability
(previously sickness and accident insurance) were changed for the 1995
survey. Paid sick leave now includes only plans that specify either a
maximum number of days per year or unlimited days. Short-terms
disability now includes all insured, self-insured, and State-mandated
plans available on a per-disability basis, as well as the unfunded
per-disability plans previously reported as sick leave. Sickness and
accident insurance, reported in years prior to this survey, included
only insured, self-insured, and State-mandated plans providing
per-disability benefits at less than full pay.

(2) Prior to 1995, reimbursement accounts included premium conversion
plans, which specifically allow medical plan participants to pay
required plan premiums with pretax dollars. Also, reimbursement
accounts that were part of flexible benefit plans were tabulated
separately.

(1) Foods, fuels, and several other items priced every month in all
areas; most other goods and services priced as indicated:

M--Every month.

1--January, March, May, July, September, and November.

2--February, April, June, August, October, and December.

(2) Regions defined as the four Census regions.

(3) Indexes on a December 1996 = 100 base.

(4) The "North Central" region has been renamed the "Midwest" region by
the Census Bureau. It is composed of the same geographic entities.

(5) Indexes on a December 1986 = 100 base.

(6) In addition, the following metropolitan areas are published
semiannually and appear in tables 34 and 39 of the January and July
issues of the CPI Detailed Report: Anchorage, AK; Cincinnati-Hamilton,
OH-KY-IN; Kansas City, MO-KS; Milwaukee-Racine, W Minneapolis-St.
Paul, MN-WI; Pittsburgh, PA; Port-land-Salem, OR-WA; St Louis
MO-IL; San Diego, CA; Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL.

(7) Indexes on a November 1996 = 100 base.

NOTE: Local area CPI indexes are byproducts of the national CPI
program. Each local index has a smaller sample size and is, therefore,
subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error. As
a result, local area indexes show greater volatility than the national
index, although their long-term trends are similar. Therefore, the
Bureau of Labor Statistics strongly urges users to consider adopting
the national average CPI for use in their escalator clauses. Index
applies to a month as a whole, not to any specific date.

Dash indicates data not available.
