¹ Payroll employment for December 2006 is preliminary and subject to revision.
NOTE: The household survey figures in Box 2 are calculated from a variation of household survey
employment used in BLS research (also shown by the green lines in Charts 1 and 2). This version of
household survey employment smoothes out the effects of population control revisions to the survey in
January of 2003-06.
