"Every two years, the Bureau of Labor Statistics produces medium-term, or 10 year, labor force projections. [This] set of projections covers the 2002-12 period and estimates the future size and composition of the labor force... The labor force projections are estimated by combining population projections calculated by the U.S. Census Bureau with the labor force projections developed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics." (p.38)
