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. this year.
