Summary

January 2013 -- We have migrated our U.S.-level employment and wage estimates to use 2012 NAICS for all geo levels.

Detail

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has migrated its historical data from the 2007 NAICS industrial classification to 2012 NAICS (citation); the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis has similarly responded (citation).

Moody's Analytics has followed suit. We migrated our employment estimates (based on BLS data) in February 2012, and wage estimates in January 2013 (based on BEA data). This applies to all geo levels. Consequently, the selection of series has changed.
