Constraintsofthemonthlycivilianlaborforceandnonfarmemploymentestimates: The civilian labor force estimates are derived by a monthly survey of approximately 723 households throughout Louisiana following the Bureau of

Labor Statistics (BLS) methodology. The US Census Bureau conducts the survey by calling randomly selected households and providing BLS with sur-vey results. Households are asked for the number of residents who are sixteen and over and whether they were working or actively looking for work during the week of the twelfth of the month. Responses to these questions become part of the formula to determine the number of people employed and the num-ber of individuals unemployed for the state, MSAs, and each parish every month.

The nonfarm employment estimates are derived from responses received from the monthly BLS survey of approximately 7,000 businesses across the state. Responses capture employment activity during the 12th of each month. This survey relies on responses from these businesses to produce industry employment levels for the state and all metropolitan statistical areas.

Both data sets are comparable with estimates for the U.S., all 50 states, and 387 metropolitan areas across the U.S.
