They do not use UI or any other sources except the Current Population Survey for the National level labor force data.not for the national legel data??? care to use a complete sentence thats make sense???Not for the National level data, only local area. The only input for the Labor Force data (the A tables of the Employment Situation) is the Current Population Survey. I have no idea where you're getting the idea anything else is used. Here's the Handbook of Methods BLS Handbook of Methods Ch. 1 Labor Force Employment and Unemployment from the Current Population SurveyThe state and lower level use UI claims and other state and lower data sources
actually they use the Federal survey and statistical methods primarily, although they do use UI and other sources too. Sorry.
Better?
my comment was about State numbers and had nothing to do with national. Why not reread to refresh your memory.
