Fiscal years run October to September. More
Fiscal years run October to September. DOL printed the worker's citizenship on its old form, so the series runs FY2008 to FY2023. The form in use since mid-2023 doesn't carry it.

DOL printed the worker's citizenship, education and visa on its old form, and the last cases filed on it were decided in FY2024. The form in use since mid-2023 doesn't carry them. So these pages describe FY2008 to FY2023 (years) and FY2016 to FY2024 (everything else).
