* Numbers may not sum exactly due to rounding. † The microsimulation estimated Employment rates by age and sex based on data from Wichita, Kansas. These means were then weighted to reflect the age and sex distribution of the U.S. population using population estimates from the March Supplement to the Current Population Survey, 2002. ‡ Based on the March Supplement to the Current Population Survey, 2002. § Hours of household productivity valued at the mean hourly earnings of service industry worker, and estimate based in 2002 dollars and increased by 33.8 percent to reflect the value of fringe benefits. ** Estimated personal earnings in 2002 dollars increased by 33.8 percent to reflect the value of fringe benefits. †† The individual losses represent the difference between mean productivity with CFS and in absence of CFS.
