6. That's the adjustment. The changes after the adjustments are made is in
Table C.

In accordance with usual practice, BLS will not revise the official household
survey estimates for December 2010 and earlier months. To show the impact of the
population adjustment, however, differences in selected December 2010 labor force
series based on the old and new population estimates are shown in table B. The
adjustment decreased the estimated size of the civilian noninstitutional population
in December by 347,000, the civilian labor force by 504,000, and employment by
472,000; the new population estimates had a negligible impact on unemployment rates
and most other percentage estimates.
Data users are cautioned that these annual pop-
ulation adjustments affect the comparability of household data series over time.
Estimates of large levels, such as total labor force and employment, are impacted
most. Table C shows the effect of the introduction of new population estimates on
the changes in selected labor force measures between December 2010 and January 2011.

Additional information on the population adjustments and their effect on national
labor force estimates are available at www.bls.gov/cps/cps11adj.pdf.

measures, with adjustments for population control effects
