		   STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT -- FEBRUARY 2021


Unemployment rates were lower in February in 23 states and the District of Columbia,
higher in 4 states, and stable in 23 states, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
reported today. Forty-five states and the District had jobless rate increases from
a year earlier and five states had little or no change. The national unemployment 
rate, 6.2 percent, was little changed over the month, but was 2.7 percentage points
higher than in February 2020.

Nonfarm payroll employment increased in 11 states, decreased in 3 states, and was
essentially unchanged in 36 states and the District of Columbia in February 2021.
Over the year, nonfarm payroll employment decreased in 48 states and the District
and was essentially unchanged in 2 states.

This news release presents statistics from two monthly programs. The civilian labor
force and unemployment data are modeled based largely on a survey of households. 
These data pertain to individuals by where they reside. The employment data are 
from an establishment survey that measures nonfarm employment, hours, and earnings
by industry. These data pertain to jobs on payrolls defined by where the 
establishments are located. For more information about the concepts and statistical
methodologies used by these two programs, see the Technical Note.

Unemployment

Hawaii and New York had the highest unemployment rates in February, 9.2 percent
and 8.9 percent, respectively, while South Dakota, 2.9 percent, and Utah, 3.0
percent, had the lowest rates. In total, 27 states had unemployment rates lower 
than the U.S. figure of 6.2 percent, 12 states and the District of Columbia had 
higher rates, and 11 states had rates that were not appreciably different from 
that of the nation. (See tables A and 1.)

In February, Hawaii had the largest over-the-month unemployment rate decrease
(-1.1 percentage points). Three additional states had rate decreases of at least
0.5 percentage point: Massachusetts (-0.7 point) and California and Michigan (-0.5
point each). Connecticut had the largest rate increase (+0.4 percentage point). 
Twenty-three states had jobless rates that were not notably 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.)

The largest unemployment rate increase from February 2020 occurred in Hawaii 
(+7.1 percentage points). The next largest over-the-year jobless rate increase
was in New York (+5.0 percentage points), with another 10 states and the District
of Columbia experiencing rate increases of at least 3.0 points. (See table C.)

Nonfarm Payroll Employment

Nonfarm payroll employment increased in 11 states, decreased in 3 states, and
was essentially unchanged in 36 states and the District of Columbia in February
2021. The largest job gains occurred in California (+141,000), Michigan (+63,500),
and Washington (+28,700). The largest percentage increase occurred in Michigan
(+1.6 percent), followed by California, New Mexico, and Washington (+0.9 percent
each). Employment decreased in Missouri (-11,600, or -0.4 percent), Oklahoma
(-10,700, or -0.7 percent), and Mississippi (-7,000, or -0.6 percent). (See tables
D and 3.)

Over the year, nonfarm payroll employment decreased in 48 states and the District
of Columbia and was essentially unchanged in 2 states. The largest job declines
occurred in California (-1,662,000), New York (-1,062,800), and Texas (-593,300).
The largest percentage declines occurred in Hawaii (-17.8 percent), New York (-10.8
percent), and Nevada (-10.6 percent). (See table E.)

|             Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic Impact on February 2021			|
|                    Establishment and Household Survey Data				|
|											|
| BLS has continued to review all estimation and methodological procedures for the	|
| establishment survey, which included the review of data, estimation processes,	|
| the application of the birth-death model, and seasonal adjustment. Business		|
| births and deaths cannot be adequately captured by the establishment survey as	|
| they occur. Therefore, the Current Employment Statistics (CES) program uses a		|
| model to account for the relatively stable net employment change generated by		|
| business births and deaths. Due to the impact of COVID-19, the relationship 		|
| between business births and deaths is no longer stable. Typically, reports with	|
| zero employment are not included in estimation. For the January final and 		|
| February preliminary estimates, CES included a portion of these reports in the	|
| estimates and made modifications to the birth-death model. In addition for both	|
| months, the establishment survey included a portion of the reports that returned	|
| to reporting positive employment from reporting zero employment. For more		|
| information, see www.bls.gov/web/empsit/cesbd.htm.					|
|											|
| In the establishment survey, workers who are paid by their employer for all or	|
| any part of the pay period including the 12th of the month are counted as		|
| employed, even if they were not actually at their jobs. Workers who are 		|
| temporarily or permanently absent from their jobs and are not being paid are		|
| not counted as employed, even if they are continuing to receive benefits. The		|
| length of the reference period does vary across the respondents in the 		|
| establishment survey; one-third of businesses have a weekly pay period, slightly	|
| over 40 percent a bi-weekly, about 20 percent semi-monthly, and a small amount	|
| monthly.										|
|											|
| For the February 2021 estimates of household employment and unemployment from the	|
| Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program, BLS continued to implement		|
| level-shift outliers in the employment and/or unemployment inputs to the models,	|
| based on statistical evaluation of movements in each area's inputs. Both the 		|
| Current Population Survey inputs, which serve as the primary inputs to the LAUS	|
| models, and the nonfarm payroll employment and unemployment insurance claims 		|
| covariates were examined for outliers. The resulting implementation of level 		|
| shifts preserved movements in the published estimates that the models otherwise	|
| would have discounted, without requiring changes to how the models create estimates	|
| at other points in the time series.							|
|											|
| The "Frequently asked questions" document at 						|
| www.bls.gov/covid19/employment-situation-covid19-faq-february-2021.htm extensively	|
| discusses the impact of a misclassification in the household survey on the national	|
| estimates for February 2021. Despite the considerable decline in its degree 		|
| relative to prior months, this misclassification continued to be widespread 		|
| geographically, with BLS analysis indicating that most states again were affected	|
| to at least some extent. However, according to usual practice, the data from the	|
| household survey are accepted as recorded. To maintain data integrity, no ad hoc	|
| actions are taken to reclassify survey responses. Hence, the household survey		|
| estimates of employed and unemployed people that serve as the primary inputs to	|
| the state models were affected to varying degrees by the misclassification, which	|
| in turn affected the official LAUS estimates for February 2021.			|
|											|
| Household data for Puerto Rico are not modeled, but rather are derived from a 	|
| monthly household survey similar to the Current Population Survey. Due to the 	|
| effects of the pandemic and efforts to contain the virus, Puerto Rico had not been	|
| able to conduct its household survey for March or April 2020. Since data collection	|
| resumed effective May 2020, the Puerto Rico Department of Labor has reported a	|
| misclassification in its household survey similar in nature to the misclassification	|
| in the Current Population Survey.							|

Technical Note

   Special technical note: This technical note describes the procedures regularly 
   used on a monthly basis to develop estimates from the CES survey and the LAUS 
   program. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some of the procedures described in this
   technical note have been modified. The modifications are briefly described in 
   the box note of this news release. More information on the changes to the CES
   business birth-death model is available at www.bls.gov/web/empsit/cesbd.htm.
   
   This news release presents civilian labor force and unemployment data for states
   and selected substate areas from the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS)
   program (tables 1 and 2). Also presented are nonfarm payroll employment estimates
   by state and industry supersector from the Current Employment Statistics (CES)
   program (tables 3 and 4). The LAUS and CES programs are both federal-state cooperative
   endeavors.

Civilian labor force and unemployment--from the LAUS program

   Definitions. The civilian 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 employed people and unemployed people on a place-of-
   residence basis. The universe for each is the civilian noninstitutional population
   16 years of age and older. Employed people are those who did any work at all for
   pay or profit in the reference week (typically 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 bad weather, labor-management dispute, illness,
   or vacation. 
     
   Unemployed people 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; people on layoff expecting recall need not be looking for work to be counted 
   as unemployed. The civilian labor force is the sum of employed and unemployed people.
   The unemployment rate is the number of unemployed as a percent of the civilian labor
   force.

   Method of estimation. Estimates for 48 states, the District of Columbia, the Los
   Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale metropolitan division, New York City, and the balances
   of California and New York State are produced using time-series models. This method,
   which underwent substantial enhancement at the beginning of 2021, 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 State are derived by summing the estimates
   for New York City and the balance of New York State. Estimates for the five additional
   substate areas contained in this release (the Cleveland-Elyria and Detroit-Warren-
   Dearborn metropolitan areas and the Chicago-Naperville-Arlington Heights, Miami-
   Miami Beach-Kendall, and Seattle-Bellevue-Everett metropolitan divisions) and their
   respective balances of state are produced using a similar model-based approach.
    
   Each month, estimates for the nine census divisions first are modeled using inputs
   from the CPS only and controlled to the national totals. State estimates then are
   controlled to their respective census division totals. Substate and balance-of-state
   estimates for the five areas noted above also are controlled to their respective state
   totals. This tiered process of controlling model-based estimates to the U.S. totals is 
   called real-time benchmarking. Estimates for Puerto Rico are derived from a monthly
   household survey similar to the CPS. A more detailed description of the estimation
   procedures is available from BLS upon request.
   
   Annual revisions. Civilian labor force and unemployment data for prior years reflect
   adjustments made after 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 re-estimation. In most years, historical data for the most recent five years
   are revised near the beginning of each calendar year, prior to the release of January
   estimates. With the introduction of a new generation of times-series models in 2021,
   historical data were re-estimated back to the series beginnings in 1976, 1990, or 1994.

   Seasonal adjustment. The LAUS models decompose the estimates of employed and unemployed 
   people into trend, seasonal, and irregular components. The benchmarked signals of 
   employed and unemployed people first are adjusted using an X-11 type of seasonal 
   adjustment filter. The adjusted data then are smoothed using a Reproducing Kernel 
   Hilbert Space (RKHS) filter. The smoothed-seasonally adjusted estimates of employed and 
   unemployed people are summed to derive the civilian labor force, and the unemployment 
   rate then is calculated as the unemployed percent of the civilian labor force. The 
   resulting smoothed-seasonally adjusted unemployment rate estimates are analyzed in this 
   news release and published on the BLS website.  

   During estimation for the current year, the smoothed-seasonally adjusted estimates
   for a given month are created using an asymmetric filter that incorporates information
   from previous observations only. For annual revisions, historical data are smoothed
   using a two-sided filter.
   
   Area definitions. The substate area data published in this release reflect the
   delineations that were issued by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget on April 10,
   2018. A detailed list of the geographic definitions is available online 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 2017 version of the North 
   American Industry Classification System. 

   Method of estimation. CES State and Area employment data are produced using several
   estimation procedures. Where possible these data are produced using a "weighted link
   relative" estimation technique in which a ratio of current-month weighted employment
   to that of the previous-month weighted employment is computed from a sample of
   establishments reporting for both months. The estimates of employment for the current 
   month are then obtained by multiplying these ratios by the previous month's employment
   estimates. The weighted link relative technique is utilized for data series where
   the sample size meets certain statistical criteria. 

   For some employment series, the sample of establishments is very small or highly
   variable. In these cases, a model-based approach is used in estimation. These models
   use the direct sample estimates (described above), combined with forecasts of
   historical (benchmarked) data to decrease volatility in estimation. Two different 
   models (Fay-Herriot Model and Small Domain Model) are used depending on the industry
   level being estimated.For more detailed information about each model, refer to
   the BLS Handbook of Methods.
    
   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. Information on recent benchmark
   revisions is available online at www.bls.gov/web/laus/benchmark.pdf.

   Seasonal adjustment. Payroll employment data are seasonally adjusted at the
   statewide expanded supersector level. In some cases, the seasonally adjusted
   payroll employment total is computed by aggregating the independently adjusted
   supersector series. In other cases, the seasonally adjusted payroll employment
   total is independently adjusted. Revisions to historical data for the most recent
   five years are made once a year, coincident with annual benchmark adjustments.
     
   Payroll employment data are seasonally adjusted concurrently, using all available 
   estimates including those for the current month, to develop sample-based seasonal
   factors. Concurrent sample-based factors are created every month for the current 
   month's preliminary estimate as well as the previous month's final estimate.

   Caution on aggregating state data. State 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. Each state series is subject to larger relative sampling and nonsampling
   errors than the national series. Summing state estimates 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-of-states" 
   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.

   Use of error measures. Changes in state unemployment rates and state nonfarm payroll
   employment are cited in the analysis of this release only if they have been determined
   to be statistically significant at the 90-percent confidence level. Furthermore, state
   unemployment rates for the current month generally are cited only if they have been
   determined to be significantly different from the U.S. rate at the 90-percent confidence
   level. The underlying model-based standard error measures for unemployment rates
   and over-the-month and over-the-year changes in rates are available at 
   www.bls.gov/lau/lastderr.htm. The underlying standard error measures for 1-month,
   3-month, and 12-month changes in payroll employment data at the total nonfarm and
   supersector levels for states, and total nonfarm level for metropolitan areas and
   divisions, are available at www.bls.gov/web/laus/790stderr.htm. Measures of nonsampling
   error are not available.
