Thirty-nine states and the District of Columbia recorded unemployment rate decreases, five states had increases and six states had no change, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Twenty-four states recorded unemployment rate increases from a year earlier, 22 states and the District of Columbia had decreases, and 4 states had no change. The national jobless rate edged down by 0.2 percentage point to 9.5 percent and was unchanged from. In, nonfarm payroll employment increased in 21 states and the District of Columbia, decreased in 27 states, and 2 states had no change. The largest over-the-month increases in employment occurred in Texas (+14,000), Kentucky (+6,200), Arkansas (+6,000), Louisiana (+5,800), and North Carolina (+5,100). Montana recorded the largest over-the-month percentage increase in employment (+1.0 percent), followed by Alaska (+0.9 percent), and Arkansas and Vermont (+0.5 percent each). The largest over-the-month employment decreases were in California (-27,600), New York (-22,500), Tennessee (-20,800), Arizona (-11,700), and New Mexico (-11,200). The largest over-the-month percentage decreases in employment occurred in New Mexico (-1.4 percent), Hawaii (-1.0 percent), and Tennessee (-0.8 percent). Over the year, nonfarm payroll employment decreased in 28 states, and increased in 22 states and the District of Columbia. The largest over-the-year percentage decrease in employment occurred in New Mexico (-2.2 percent), followed by Nevada (-2.0 percent), Rhode Island (-1.7 percent), Georgia (-1.5 percent), Colorado (-1.4 percent), and California (-1.3 percent). The largest over-the-year percentage increase in employment was reported in Kentucky (+1.5 percent), followed by Indiana and New Hampshire (+1.4 percent each), the District of Columbia (+1.3 percent), and Alaska (+1.2 percent). Regional Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted) The West reported the highest regional jobless rate in, 10.7 percent, while the Northeast recorded the lowest rate, 8.8 percent. Three regions experienced statistically significant over-the-month unemployment rate changes: the Midwest, South, and West (-0.2 percentage point each). The West was the only region to register a significant rate change from a year earlier (+0.4 percentage point). (See table 1.) Among the nine geographic divisions, the Pacific continued to report the highest unemployment rate, 11.4 percent in. The West North Central registered the lowest rate, 7.0 percent, followed by the
West South Central, 7.9 percent. Five divisions experienced statistically significant unemployment rate changes from a month earlier, all decreases: the East North Central, East South Central, New England, and South Atlantic (-0.3 percentage point each) and the Pacific (-0.2 point). Two divisions reported significant over-the-year rate changes the Mountain had an increase (+0.5 percentage point), while the West North Central posted a decrease (-0.6 point). Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted) Nevada again reported the highest unemployment rate among the states, 14.2 percent in. The rate in Nevada also set a new series high. (All region, division, and state series begin in 1976.) The states with the next highest rates were Michigan, 13.2 percent; California, 12.3 percent; and Rhode Island, 12.0 percent. North Dakota continued to register the lowest jobless rate, 3.6 percent, followed by South Dakota and Nebraska, 4.5 and 4.8 percent, respectively. In total, 25 states posted jobless rates significantly lower than the U.S. figure of 9.5 percent, 10 states had measurably higher rates, and 15 states and the District of Columbia had rates that were not appreciably different from that of the nation. (See tables A and 3 and chart 1.) In, 19 states recorded statistically significant jobless rate decreases from, the largest of which were in New Hampshire (-0.5 percentage point) and Alabama, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, North Carolina, and South Carolina (-0.4 point each). The District of Columbia also posted an appreciable rate decrease from a month earlier (-0.4 percentage point). The remaining 31 states registered jobless rates that were not measurably different from those of a month earlier, though some had changes that were at least as large numerically as the significant changes. (See table B.) Nevada recorded the largest jobless rate increase from (+2.3 percentage points). Five additional states had smaller, but also statistically significant, increases. Eight states reported significant over-the-year rate decreases in, the largest of which was in Minnesota (-1.6 percentage points). The remaining 36 states and the District of Columbia registered jobless rates that were not appreciably different from those of a year earlier. (See table C.) Nonfarm Payroll Employment (Seasonally Adjusted) Between and, nine states recorded statistically significant changes in employment. The over-the-month statistically significant job gains occurred in Arkansas (+6,000), Montana (+4,100), and Alaska (+2,900). The largest over-the-month statistically significant job losses occurred in California (- 27,600), New York (-22,500), and Tennessee (-20,800). (See tables D and 5.) Over the year, five states experienced statistically significant declines in employment, while five states reported statistically significant employment increases. The largest statistically significant job losses occurred in California (-186,100), Georgia (-56,600), Colorado (-31,200), and New Mexico (-17,800). The largest statistically significant over-the-year employment increases were posted in Texas (+110,200), Indiana (+38,200), North Carolina (+29,800), and Kentucky (+26,500). One state recorded a statistically significant over-the-year increase in employment that was less than 15,000: New Hampshire (+8,900). (See table E.)

Technical Note This release presents labor force and unemployment data for census regions and divisions, states, and selected substate areas from the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program (tables 1 to 4). Also presented are nonfarm payroll employment estimates by state and major industry sector from the Current Employment Statistics (CES) program (tables 5 and 6). The LAUS and CES programs are both federal-state cooperative endeavors. Labor force and unemployment from the LAUS program Definitions. The labor force and unemployment data are based on the same concepts and definitions as those used for the official national estimates obtained from the Current Population Survey (CPS), a sample survey of households that is conducted for the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) by the U.S. Census Bureau. The LAUS program measures employment and unemployment on a place-of-residence basis. The universe for each is the civilian noninstitutional population 16 years of age and over. Employed persons are those who did any work at all for pay or profit in the reference week (the week including the 12th of the month) or worked 15 hours or more without pay in a family business or farm, plus those not working who had a job from which they were temporarily absent, whether or not paid, for such reasons as labor-management dispute, illness, or vacation. Unemployed persons are those who were not employed during the reference week (based on the definition above), had actively looked for a job sometime in the 4-week period ending with the reference week, and were currently available for work; persons on layoff expecting recall need not be looking for work to be counted as unemployed. The labor force is the sum of employed and unemployed persons. The unemployment rate is the number of unemployed as a percent of the labor force. Method of estimation. Estimates for 48 of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale metropolitan division, New York City, and the balances of California and New York are produced using estimating equations based on regression techniques. This method, which underwent substantial enhancement at the beginning of 2005, utilizes data from several sources, including the CPS, the CES, and state unemployment insurance (UI) programs. Estimates for the state of California are derived by summing the estimates for the Los Angeles- Long Beach-Glendale metropolitan division and the balance of California. Similarly, estimates for New York are derived by summing the estimates for New York City and the balance of New York. Estimates for all nine census divisions and the five additional substate areas contained in this release (the Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor and Detroit- Warren-Livonia metropolitan areas and the Chicago-Joliet- Naperville, Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall, and Seattle- Bellevue-Everett metropolitan divisions) and their respective balances of state are based on a similar regression approach that does not incorporate CES or UI data. Estimates for census regions are obtained by summing the model-based estimates for the component divisions and then calculating the unemployment rate. Each month, census division estimates are controlled to national totals; state estimates are then controlled to their respective division totals. Substate and balance-of-state estimates for the five areas noted above are controlled to their respective state totals. Estimates for Puerto Rico are derived from a monthly household survey similar to the CPS. A detailed description of the estimation procedures is available from BLS upon request. Annual revisions. Labor force and unemployment data for prior years reflect adjustments made at the end of each year. The adjusted estimates reflect updated population data from the U.S. Census Bureau, any revisions in the other data sources, and model reestimation. In most years, historical data for the most recent five years (both seasonally adjusted and not seasonally adjusted) are revised near the beginning of each calendar year, prior to or coincident with the release of January estimates. Seasonal adjustment. The LAUS program introduced smoothed-seasonally-adjusted (SSA) estimates in January. These are seasonally-adjusted data that have incurporated a long-run trend smoothing procedure, resulting in estimates that are less volatile than those previously produced. The estimates are smoothed using a Henderson Trend Filter (H13). The H13 uses a filtering procedure, based on moving averages, to remove the irregular fluctuations from the seasonally-adjusted series, leaving the trend. The same process is used on both historical and current year estimates. Seasonally-adjusted labor force estimates from January 1976 through December were replaced with the SSA estimates for all four census regions, nine census divisions, all s, the District of Columbia, New York City, the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale metropolitan division, and the respective balances of New York and California. Seasonallyadjusted estimates for the Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor and Detroit-Warren-Livonia metropolitan areas and the Chicago- Joliet-Naperville, Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall, and Seattle- Bellevue-Everett metropolitan divisions and the respective balances of Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Florida, and Washington were also replaced from January 1983 through December. For more information about the smoothing technique and the reasons behind the change, see the BLS Web site at www.bls.gov/lau/lassaqa.htm. Area definitions. The substate area data published in this release reflect the standards and definitions established by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget on December 1,. A detailed list of the geographic definitions is available on the Internet at www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm.
Employment from the CES program Definitions. Employment data refer to persons on establishment payrolls who receive pay for any part of the pay period that includes the 12th of the month. Persons are counted at their place of work rather than at their place of residence; those appearing on more than one payroll are counted on each payroll. Industries are classified on the basis of their principal activity in accordance with the 2007 version of the North American Industry Classification System. Method of estimation. The employment data are estimated using a link relative technique in which a ratio (link relative) of current-month employment to that of the previous month is computed from a sample of establishments reporting for both months. The estimates of employment for the current month are obtained by multiplying the estimates for the previous month by these ratios. Small-domain models are used as the official estimators for the approximately 39 percent of CES published series which have insufficient sample for direct sample-based estimates. Annual revisions. Employment estimates are adjusted annually to a complete count of jobs, called benchmarks, derived principally from tax reports that are submitted by employers who are covered under state unemployment insurance (UI) laws. The benchmark information is used to adjust the monthly estimates between the new benchmark and the preceding one and also to establish the level of employment for the new benchmark month. Thus, the benchmarking process establishes the level of employment, and the sample is used to measure the month-to-month changes in the level for the subsequent months. Seasonal adjustment. Payroll employment data are seasonally adjusted at the statewide supersector level. In some states, the seasonally adjusted payroll employment total is computed by aggregating the independently adjusted supersector series. In other states, the seasonally adjusted payroll employment total is independently adjusted. Revisions of historical data for the most recent 5 years are made once a year, coincident with annual benchmark adjustments. Caution on aggregating state data. estimation procedures are designed to produce accurate data for each individual state. BLS independently develops a national employment series; state estimates are not forced to sum to national totals. Because each state series is subject to larger sampling and nonsampling errors than the national series, summing them cumulates individual state level errors and can cause significant distortions at an aggregate level. Due to these statistical limitations, BLS does not compile a sum-ofstates employment series, and cautions users that such a series is subject to a relatively large and volatile error structure. Reliability of the estimates The estimates presented in this release are based on sample surveys, administrative data, and modeling and, thus, are subject to sampling and other types of errors. Sampling error is a measure of sampling variability that is, variation that occurs by chance because a sample rather than the entire population is surveyed. Survey data also are subject to nonsampling errors, such as those which can be introduced into the data collection and processing operations. Estimates not directly derived from sample surveys are subject to additional errors resulting from the specific estimation processes used. The sums of individual items may not always equal the totals shown in the same tables because of rounding. Unemployment rates are computed from unrounded data and thus may differ slightly from rates computed using the rounded data displayed in the tables. Use of error measures. In 2005, the LAUS program introduced several improvements to its methodology. Among these were the development of model-based error measures for the monthly estimates and the estimates of over-themonth changes. The introductory section of this release preserves the long-time practice of highlighting the direction of the movements in regional and state unemployment rates and state nonfarm payroll employment regardless of their statistical significance. The remainder of the analysis in the release takes statistical significance into consideration. Labor force and unemployment estimates. Modelbased error measures for both seasonally adjusted and not seasonally adjusted data and for over-the-month changes are available online at www.bls.gov/lau/lastderr.htm. BLS uses a 90-percent confidence level in determining whether changes in LAUS unemployment rates are statistically significant. The average magnitude of the current year over-the-month change in a state unemployment rate that is required in order to be statistically significant at the 90-percent confidence level is just over 0.2 percentage point. The average amount of the current over-the-year change in a state unemployment rate to be considered statistically significant is between 0.8 and 0.9 percentage point. More details can be found on the Web site. Measures of nonsampling error are not available, but additional information on the subject is provided in Employment and Earnings Online at www.bls.gov/opub/ee/home.htm. Employment estimates. Measures of sampling error for state CES data at the total nonfarm and supersector level and for metropolitan area CES data at the total nonfarm level are available online at www.bls.gov/sae/790stderr.htm. BLS uses a 90-percent confidence level in determining whether changes in CES employment levels are statistically significant. Information on recent benchmark revisions for states is available on the Internet at www.bls.gov/sae/. Additional information More complete information on the technical procedures used to develop these estimates and additional data appear in Employment and Earnings Online.
