Does an asterisk go before or after a comma?

"An asterisk always accompanies the word it is highlighting. Punctuation would come after the asterisk." I believe this answer is correct for British English but it is wrong in regards to American English. According to the MLA and APA, superscripts such as asterisks come after the punctuation mark with the exception being dashes. When a long dash is used the superscript comes before the dash. For example: These pies contain cardamom,* clove, and nutmeg. *seeds only And: All of my jobs*--landscaping, cooking, and tending bar--are based heavily on tips. *Jobs also are unreported It should also be noted that asterisks are not considered correct form for signifying footnotes in MLA and numbers should be used.
