The unemployment number is the number of people ages 16 and over who are without a job but are actively looking for one. The unemployment rate is the number of unemployed as a percent of the entire civilian labor force. The civilian labor force (the denominator) includes persons who are employed and those who are unemployed but looking for work. The state-level and county- level annual figures reported here for 2009 and earlier years are seasonally adjusted, and span 12 months.
