NOTES:  Individuals for whom data are missing on scheduled and actual hours of attendance for all weeks in the month are
 not counted as participants in this table.  For this reason, participation rates for Measure "D" may be slightly lower
 in this table compared to those implied by other tables or figures.


  (a)  All participation rates in this column also include JOBS-exempt individuals employed at least 30 hours per week
 at a paid job in the numerator of rates.  These individuals, who are not JOBS-mandatory, are not included in the
 numerators or denominators of the participation rates in the other two columns.
