About this measure

Definition and limits

U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics / New Jersey DOL publishes the source data. This series covers 1990 to 2025.

Rates describe people in their county of residence.

Known limitations

  • These labor-force estimates use statistical models. Annual revisions can change earlier values.
  • October 2025 data is unavailable because federal funding lapsed.
  • New Jersey's historical spreadsheets and the current BLS data service report different values for many observations from 2020 to 2025. We keep and check both versions.
