               STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT -- JULY 2023


Unemployment rates were lower in July in 7 states, higher in 3 states, and stable in 
40 states and the District of Columbia, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported 
today. Twenty-three states had jobless rate decreases from a year earlier, 5 states 
and the District had increases, and 22 states had little change. The national 
unemployment rate, 3.5 percent, changed little over the month and was the same as 
in July 2022. 

Nonfarm payroll employment increased in 4 states and was essentially unchanged in 46 
states and the District of Columbia in July 2023. Over the year, nonfarm payroll 
employment increased in 36 states and was essentially unchanged in 14 states and 
the District.

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

New Hampshire had the lowest jobless rate in July, 1.7 percent. The next lowest rates
were in Maryland and Vermont, 1.8 percent each. The rates in these three states set 
new series lows, as did the rates in the following eight states (all state series 
begin in 1976): Alabama (2.1 percent), Louisiana (3.4 percent), Massachusetts 
(2.5 percent), Mississippi (3.0 percent), Ohio (3.3 percent), Pennsylvania 
(3.5 percent), Tennessee (3.1 percent), and Washington (3.6 percent). Nevada had the 
highest unemployment rate, 5.3 percent. In total, 21 states had unemployment rates 
lower than the U.S. figure of 3.5 percent, 3 states and the District of Columbia had 
higher rates, and 26 states had rates that were not appreciably different from that 
of the nation. (See tables A and 1.)

In July, seven states had over-the-month unemployment rate decreases, the largest 
of which was in Pennsylvania (-0.3 percentage point), followed by Louisiana, 
Maryland, Virginia, and Washington (-0.2 point each). Arizona, Idaho, and Wisconsin 
had the only over-the-month increases (+0.1 percentage point each). Forty states 
and the District of Columbia 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.)

Twenty-three states had over-the-year rate decreases, the largest of which was 
in Maryland (-1.4 percentage points). Five states and the District of Columbia had 
unemployment rate increases from July 2022, the largest of which were in the District 
(+0.9 percentage point) and California (+0.8 point). Twenty-two states had jobless 
rates that were not notably different from those of a year earlier, though some had 
changes that were at least as large numerically as the significant changes. 
(See table C.)

Nonfarm Payroll Employment

Nonfarm payroll employment increased in 4 states and was essentially unchanged in 46 
states and the District of Columbia in July 2023. The largest job gains occurred in 
Florida (+44,500), Indiana (+13,900), and Hawaii (+5,300). The largest percentage 
increases occurred in Vermont (+0.9 percent), Hawaii (+0.8 percent), and Florida 
(+0.5 percent). (See tables D and 3.)

Over the year, nonfarm payroll employment increased in 36 states and was essentially 
unchanged in 14 states and the District of Columbia. The largest job increases 
occurred in Texas (+441,700), California (+363,600), and Florida (+300,600). The 
largest percentage increases occurred in Nevada (+3.8 percent), Texas (+3.3 percent), 
and Florida (+3.2 percent). (See table E.)

|        2023 Preliminary Benchmark Revision to Establishment Survey Data	       |
|                       to be Released on August 23, 2023			       |
|										       |
| Each year, Current Employment Statistics (CES) estimates are benchmarked to	       |
| comprehensive counts of employment from the Quarterly Census of Employment and       |
| Wages (QCEW). These counts are derived from state unemployment insurance (UI) tax    |
| records that nearly all employers are required to file. As part of the benchmark     |
| process for benchmark year 2023, census-derived employment counts replace CES        |
| payroll employment estimates for all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto     |
| Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and about 450 metropolitan areas and divisions for    |
| the period from April 2022 to September 2023. 				       |
|										       |
| The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) will release first-quarter 2023 data from the   |
| QCEW on August 23, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. (ET). Preliminary benchmark revisions for     |
| March 2023 for all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and selected metropolitan    |
| areas at the total nonfarm level will be made available shortly thereafter at	       |
| www.bls.gov/sae/publications/preliminary-benchmark-announcement.htm. The final       |
| benchmark revision for all state and metropolitan area series will be issued with    |
| the publication of the January 2024 State Employment and Unemployment news release   |
| in March 2024.								       |

Technical Note
 
   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 time 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 2022 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 estimates are produced with a model that uses direct sample estimates 
   (described above) combined with other regressors to compensate for smaller sample sizes. 

   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 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/bmrk_article.htm.

   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 over-the-month and over-the-year changes in state payroll
    employment data at the total nonfarm and supersector levels are available at 
    www.bls.gov/web/laus/790stderr.htm. Measures of nonsampling error are not available.
