1/ Ranks on performance in the Job Retention and Earnings Gain submeasures are combined and then re-ranked.
2/ U.S. Average excludes Guam, Puerto Rico, and Virgin Islands and States that submitted sample data in FY 2011 and includes only those States that provided universe data for FY 2011. While this limits the generalizability of the findings, the data from sample states were not deemed reliable due to data limitations and sampling error.
