1/  On March 17, 2025 BLS posted “Smoothed Seasonally Adjusted Metropolitan Area Estimates” (including the BLS/DBEDT seasonally-adjusted LAUS data for Honolulu and Maui) will not be updated in conjunction with the January, February, or March 2025 news releases, and may not become available again until a few months thereafter. Subsequently on April 18, the not seasonally adjusted data from 2016 forward will be comprehensively revised, reflecting input replacement and re-estimation based on the new geography. The not seasonally adjusted data are the inputs to the smoothed seasonal adjustment models, and the process of re-specifying these models cannot commence until the comprehensive revisions to the not seasonally adjusted input data based on the new OMB geography become available. This notice will be updated once we have a date for the resumption of publication of the smoothed seasonally adjusted data. See LAUS Geography and Data Changes in 2025 for more information.
