1/   These data, which are not seasonally adjusted, are developed by the Maine Department of Labor, Division of Labor Market Information Services, in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Data presented here are rounded, with the exception of the unemployment rate which is based on unrounded civilian labor force and unemployment estimates. Employment and unemployment may not add to the civilian labor force due to rounding.
