Dataset: Reports estimates of the civilian noninstitutional population ages 16 and older that are employed. Estimates are segmented by sociodemographic characteristics. Employed persons are all those who, during the reference week, (1) did any work at all as paid employees, worked in their own business or profession or on their own farm, or worked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers in a family-operated enterprise; and (2) all those who did not work but had jobs or businesses from which they were temporarily absent due to illness, bad weather, vacation, childcare problems, labor dispute, maternity or paternity leave, or other family or personal obligations (whether or not they were paid by their employers for the time off and whether or not they were seeking other jobs). Each employed person is counted only once, even if he or she holds more than one job. Included in the total are employed citizens of foreign countries who are residing in the United States, but who are not living on the premises of an embassy. Excluded are persons whose only activity consisted of work around their own home (such as housework, painting, repairing, and so forth) or volunteer work for religious, charitable, and similar organizations.

The resulting Labor Force Statistics dataset, presented here, provides a comprehensive body of information on the employment and unemployment experience of the nation's population, classified by age, sex, race, and other characteristics. Data are collected by personal and telephone interviews. The survey reference period is the calendar week (Sunday through Saturday) that includes the 12th day of the month; the actual survey is conducted during the following week, ie, the week containing the 19th day of the month. Basic labor force data are gathered monthly; data on special topics are gathered in periodic supplements. Persons less than 16 years of age are excluded from the official estimate...
