population figures are not seasonally adjusted.
Civilian employment as a percent of the civilian noninstitutional population.
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.

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 are not available. Quarterly figures for Germany
are calculated by applying an annual adjustment factor to current
published data and therefore should be viewed as a less precise
indicator of unemployment under U.S. concepts than the annual
figures. For further qualifications and historical annual data, see the
BLS report International Comparisons of Annual Labor Force
Statistics, Adjusted to U.S. Concepts, 10 Countries (on the Internet at
http://www.bls.gov/ilc/flscomparelf.htm).

Monthly Labor Review • October 2011
For monthly unemployment rates, as well as the quarterly and annual
rates published in this table, see the BLS report International
Unemployment Rates and Employment Indexes, Seasonally Adjusted
(on
the
Internet
at
http://www.bls.gov/ilc/intl_unemployment_rates_monthly.htm).
Unemployment rates may differ between the two reports mentioned,
because the former is updated annually, whereas the latter is updated
monthly and reflects the most recent revisions in source data.

from those in the BLS report International Unemployment Rates and Employment Indexes,

(on
the
Internet
at
http://www.bls.gov/ilc/intl_unemployment_rates_monthly.htm), because the former is
updated annually, whereas the latter is updated monthly and reflects the most recent

Data for 1989 and subsequent years are based on the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, 1987 Edition. For this reason, they are not strictly comparable with data
for the years 1985–88, which were based on the Standard Industrial Classification
Manual, 1972 Edition, 1977 Supplement.
N = number of injuries and illnesses or lost workdays;
EH = total hours worked by all employees during the calendar year; and
200,000 = base for 100 full-time equivalent workers (working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks
per year).
2
Beginning with the 1992 survey, the annual survey measures only nonfatal injuries and
illnesses, while past surveys covered both fatal and nonfatal incidents. To better address
fatalities, a basic element of workplace safety, BLS implemented the Census of Fatal
Occupational Injuries.
4
Beginning with the 1993 survey, lost workday estimates will not be generated. As of 1992,
BLS began generating percent distributions and the median number of days away from work
by industry and for groups of workers sustaining similar work disabilities.
5
Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees since 1976.
3
The incidence rates represent the number of injuries and illnesses or lost workdays per
100 full-time workers and were calculated as (N/EH) X 200,000, where:
