Note 6.                   Income Taxes

 

The effective tax rate was 40.2% and 31.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate relates primarily to the impact of jobs tax credits (not renewed for 2012) and computational differences associated with the impact of discontinued operations. Renewal of the job tax credit is uncertain at this time. The computational differences associated with the impact of discontinued operations are expected to reverse in the second quarter.
