* The January 2013 data that was scheduled to be released Friday, March 8th was delayed and the EDD released partial employment and unemployment data for California on March 19th. The complete release of January 2013 data and revised industry and labor force data will be Friday, March 22nd. The February 2013 data will now be released on Friday, March 29th. The reason for this delay is due to additional revisions to annual benchmarking data being done by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
