     BLS Note: Because each state series is subject to larger sampling and

nonsampling errors than the national series, summing them cumulates

individual state level errors and can cause significant distortions at

an aggregate level. Due to these statistical limitations, BLS does not

compile a "sum-of-states" employment series, and cautions users that

such a series is subject to a relatively large and volatile error

structure.
