   NOTE: Data refer to persons 16 years and over. Data for 2009, which were collected in the 2010 Annual Social and Economic
Supplement to the Current Population Survey, are not strictly comparable with data for 2008 and earlier years because of the
introduction of updated population controls, which are introduced annually with the release of January data. For additional
information, see the technical note and "Adjustments to Household Survey Population Estimates in January 2010" available on
the Internet at http://www.bls.gov/cps/cps10adj.pdf.
