added or significantly revised since publication of the 1955 Supplement are indicated by an asterisk (*) and a dagger (t), respectively. Except
as otherwise stated, the terms "unadjusted" and "adjusted" refer to adjustment for seasonal variation.
Statistics originating in Government agencies are not copyrighted and may be reprinted freely. Data from private sources are provided
