1. The index of initial unemployment insurance claims combines U.S. and KY initial claims, interacted by the duration of an average claim. Initial claims in KY were provided from the Workforce Development Cabinet. For more information concerning the calculation of the index, please contact OFMEA.

2. OFMEA computed a variation of the U.S. leading index rather than using the widely publicized version in its unadulterated form. Six of the ten U.S. leading indicators were used in the OFMEA index, and the weights were also recomputed. For more information, please contact OFMEA.

3. The Kentucky labor intensity index combines employment and weekly hours for five industry categories. For a list of the industries or the weights, please contact OFMEA.

Note: Growth rates are computed with precise numbers. Due to rounding, two observations may have the same reported value but still exhibit growth at a more precise level.
