Description of process: The base
year 1998 estimates for the projections come from annual Unemployment
Insurance
(UI) tax data, and from estimates of railroad and other not covered employment
by the state and federal
UI programs. The projected employment increases
were estimated using a combination of five types of forecasting
models with some
individual industry adjustments. These projections were made before final
benchmarking of the
1998 annual estimates was completed by the Regional Labor
Economists. As a result, the 1998 numbers indicated
in these tables may
differ from the benchmarked estimates which will be published later this year.
