Finally got table to center with \centering instead of center environment.. even got the footnote to center by adding \centering inside the footnote. But the line above the footnote is still on the left side of the page! Can this be done without threeparttable or ctable packages?! Please help.
\begin{table}[h!]
\centering
\caption{\emph{Estimated number of jobs created by project size.}} \label{jobs1}
\vspace{.25cm}
\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{lcccc}
\toprule
&\multicolumn{4}{c}{\bf New Jobs}\\ \cline{2-5}
&Large &Medium &Small \footnote{\centering Small project results extrapolated from sample.} &Total \\ \midrule
Part-time year-round &20 &28 &65 &113 \\
Part-time seasonal &0 &11 &304 &315 \\
Full-time year-round &255 &69 &165 &489 \\
Full-time seasonal &190 &29 &178 &397 \\ \midrule
Total &465 &137 &712 &1314 \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{minipage}
\end{table}
