                    STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT -- NOVEMBER 2025


Unemployment rates were higher in November than a year earlier in 16 states and the District
of Columbia, lower in 8 states, and little different in 26 states, the U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics reported today. October 2025 data from the household survey were not collected       
due to the lapse in federal appropriations; therefore, the unemployment analysis in this
news release includes over-the-year changes only. The national unemployment rate, 4.6 percent,
was 0.4 percentage point higher than in November 2024.

In November 2025, nonfarm payroll employment was essentially unchanged in all 50 states and
the District of Columbia. Over the year, nonfarm payroll employment increased in 12 states,
decreased in the District, and was essentially unchanged in 38 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
people 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.

| Publication of November 2025 data was delayed because of a lapse in federal appropriations  |
| (from October 1 through November 12). Both the household and establishment surveys required |
| additional data collection and processing time in November. BLS did not publish an October  |

Unemployment

South Dakota had the lowest jobless rate in November, 2.1 percent, followed by Hawaii, 2.2
percent. The District of Columbia had the highest unemployment rate, 6.5 percent. The next
highest rates were in California and New Jersey, 5.5 percent and 5.4 percent, respectively. In
total, 22 states had unemployment rates lower than the U.S. figure of 4.6 percent, 2 states
and the District had higher rates, and 26 states had rates that were not appreciably different
from that of the nation. (See tables A and 1.)

Sixteen states and the District of Columbia had unemployment rate increases from November 2024,
the largest of which was in Delaware (+1.3 percentage points). Eight states had over-the-year
rate decreases, the largest of which was in Hawaii (-0.8 percentage point). Twenty-six 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 B.)

Nonfarm Payroll Employment

In November 2025, nonfarm payroll employment was essentially unchanged in all 50 states and
the District of Columbia. (See table 3.)

Over the year, nonfarm payroll employment increased in 12 states, decreased in the District of
Columbia, and was essentially unchanged in 38 states. The largest job gains occurred in Texas
(+146,300) and Pennsylvania (+97,600), followed by New York and North Carolina (+87,900 each).
The largest percentage increases occurred in Missouri and South Carolina (+2.0 percent each),
followed by North Carolina (+1.7 percent). Employment decreased in the District (-32,800, or
-4.2 percent). (See table C.)

The Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment news release for November 2025 is scheduled
to be released on Friday, January 16, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. (ET). The State Employment and
Unemployment news release for December 2025 is scheduled to be released on Tuesday, January
27, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. (ET).

|               Household Survey Estimates and the Federal Government Shutdown		      |
|											      |
| There are no household survey estimates for October 2025. Household survey data, which      |
| provide the primary inputs to the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program, were   |
| not collected for October 2025 due to the lapse in appropriations and were not collected    |
| retroactively. Therefore, this news release does not include the typical analysis of	      | 
| over-the-month unemployment rate changes from October to November. The November reference   |
| period was the week that contained the 12th of the month, a typical reference week.	      |
| Collection of November data began a day late due to the shutdown and was extended to	      |
| provide more time for contacting households around the Thanksgiving holiday. The	      |
| November response rate was lower than usual at 64.0 percent, with response rates at	      |
| the state level ranging from 47.2 percent to 82.8 percent.				      |
|											      |
| The lack of October 2025 data required an adjustment to the statistical weighting process.  |
| In the household survey, composite estimation relies on data from the previous month as an  |
| input to developing statistical weights for the current month's data. Without October data, |
| the composite weighting formula was adjusted by shifting previously-collected data forward  |
| 1 month.										      |
|											      |
| Due to the LAUS program's modeling and smoothing procedures for state estimation, it was    |
| not possible to develop standard error measures for testing the statistical significance    |
| of the 2-month unemployment rate changes for states, as was done for the U.S. household     |
| data analysis in the November Employment Situation news release.			      |
|											      |
| In the household survey, people are considered employed if they did any work at all for     |
| pay or profit during the survey reference week or were temporarily absent from their jobs   |
| or businesses. The lapse in appropriations lasted from October 1 through November 12,	      |
| 2025. The survey reference week was November 9 through 15. Because the government reopened  |
| before the end of the November reference week, federal government workers were counted as   |
| employed in the household survey. 							      |
|											      |
| It is not possible to precisely quantify the effect of the federal government shutdown on   |
| household survey estimates for November 2025. 				              | 
|											      |
| Additional information about the impact of the shutdown on the household survey is	      |
| available online at									      |
| www.bls.gov/cps/methods/2025-federal-government-shutdown-impact-cps.htm.		      |

|           Establishment Survey Estimates and the Federal Government Shutdown		      |
|											      |
| This news release includes the final establishment survey estimates for both September and  |
| October 2025, and the preliminary estimates for November. The collection periods for October| 
| and November estimates were extended. 						      |
|											      |
| October estimates include data that businesses self-reported electronically during the      |
| shutdown and data collected after the resumption of government operations in November. The  |
| collection rates for October and November are higher than usual as a result of the extended |
| collection periods. 									      |
|											      |
| There was no change to the reference period for October or November; it remained the pay    |
| period that includes the 12th of the month. There were no changes to seasonal adjustment    |
| or estimation methodology. The September data are final estimates and incorporate routine   |
| revisions. 										      |
|											      |
| In the establishment survey, businesses and government agencies report the number of people |
| on payrolls during the pay period that includes the 12th of the month. Individuals who work |
| or receive pay for any part of the pay period are defined as employed. Federal employees on |
| furlough during the federal government shutdown were considered employed in the	      |
| establishment survey because they worked or received pay, even if later than usual, for the |
| pay period that included the 12th of the month. Other workers (including federal	      |
| contractors) who did not work or receive pay during the federal government shutdown were    |
| not counted among the employed. 							      |
|											      |
| It is not possible to precisely quantify the total impact of the federal government	      |
| shutdown on payroll employment estimates for October and November 2025.	              |

|               Upcoming Changes to the Establishment Survey Birth-Death Model	              |
|											      |
| Effective with the release of January 2026 data, the establishment survey will change the   |
| birth-death model by incorporating current sample information each month. The change	      |
| follows the same methodology applied to the April through October 2024 forecasts during the |
| 2024 post-benchmark period (see question 9 in the CES Birth-Death Model Frequently Asked    |
| Questions page at www.bls.gov/web/empsit/cesbdqa.htm).				      |

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 five additional substate areas (the Cleveland, Detroit-Warren-Dearborn, and Seattle-
Tacoma-Bellevue metropolitan areas and the Chicago-Naperville-Schaumburg and Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall
metropolitan divisions) and their respective balances of state are produced using a similar model-based
approach. The small number of areas and divisions selected for LAUS time-series modeling reflect the
delineations per U.S. Office of Management and Budget Bulletin No. 23-01.

   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 implementation of synthetic intercensal population controls in 2025 to
smooth decennial discontinuities, historical data were re-estimated back to the series beginnings in
1976, 1990, or 1994. For more information, see www.bls.gov/lau/geography-and-data-changes-in-2025.htm.

   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.
     
Employment—from the CES program

   Definitions. Employment data refer to people on establishment payrolls who receive pay for any part
of the pay period that includes the 12th of the month. People 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/benchmark.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.
