* The table uses "standard competition ranking," wherein items that tie for a position in the ranking receive the same ranking number, and the ranking numbers of all those below them reflect how many competitors rank above them.
Notes: 2010 estimates may differ from those in Austin 2011 because of revisions to the Local Area Unemployment Statistics. Percentage-point changes may not sum properly due to rounding.
