		   STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT -- DECEMBER 2022   		


Unemployment rates were higher in December in 7 states, lower in 5 states, and stable in
38 states and the District of Columbia, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported 
today. Thirty-five states and the District had jobless rate decreases from a year 
earlier, 4 states had increases, and 11 states had little change. The national 
unemployment rate edged down to 3.5 percent over the month and was 0.4 percentage point
lower than in December 2021.

Nonfarm payroll employment decreased in 1 state and was essentially unchanged in 49 
states and the District of Columbia in December 2022. Over the year, nonfarm payroll 
employment increased in 42 states and was essentially unchanged in 8 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

Utah had the lowest jobless rate in December, 2.2 percent. The next lowest rates were 
in North Dakota and South Dakota, 2.3 percent each. The rates in Alaska (4.3 percent) 
and Pennsylvania (3.9 percent) set new series lows. (All state series begin in 1976.) 
Nevada had the highest unemployment rate, 5.2 percent. In total, 14 states had 
unemployment rates lower than the U.S. figure of 3.5 percent, 11 states and the District
had higher rates, and 25 states had rates that were not appreciably different from that
of the nation. (See tables A and 1.)

In December, seven states had over-the-month unemployment rate increases, the largest 
of which was in Nevada (+0.3 percentage point). Five states had over-the-month 
decreases, the largest of which was in Maryland (-0.3 percentage point). Thirty-eight 
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.)

The largest jobless rate decrease from December 2021 was in New Mexico (-2.0 percentage
points). The next largest decreases occurred in California and New Jersey (-1.7 
percentage points each). The largest over-the-year unemployment rate increase occurred
in Oklahoma (+0.6 percentage point). (See table C.)

Nonfarm Payroll Employment

Nonfarm payroll employment decreased in 1 state and was essentially unchanged in 49 
states and the District of Columbia in December 2022. Employment decreased in West 
Virginia (-9,700, or -1.4 percent). (See tables D and 3.)

Over the year, nonfarm payroll employment increased in 42 states and was essentially 
unchanged in 8 states and the District of Columbia. The largest job increases occurred
in Texas (+650,100), California (+621,400), and Florida (+440,000). The largest 
percentage increase occurred in Texas (+5.0 percent), followed by Florida (+4.8 
percent) and Oregon (+4.2 percent). (See table E.)

|			      Household Data for Puerto Rico      			|
|											|
| Due to Hurricane Fiona, Puerto Rico was not able to conduct normal data collection 	|
| for its household survey for September 2022. Data collection started again in 	|
| October, and BLS resumed publication of the not seasonally adjusted data effective	|
| with the release of October estimates. Publication of seasonally adjusted data for 	|
| Puerto Rico will resume at a later time, pending further research. 			|

|	       Upcoming Changes to Local Area Unemployment Statistics Data      	|
|											|
| Effective with the release of Regional and State Unemployment 2022 Annual Averages on |
| March 1, 2023, the civilian labor force and unemployment data for the states, the 	|
| District of Columbia, and the modeled substate areas presented in tables 1 and 2 of 	|
| this news release will be revised to incorporate updated inputs, new population 	|
| controls, reestimation of models, and adjustment to new census division and national  |
| control totals. The population controls will continue to reflect a "blended base," 	|
| with elements from three independent data sources for April 1, 2020. Data in table 1  |
| will be re-seasonally adjusted as well. Both not seasonally adjusted and seasonally 	|
| adjusted data are subject to revision back to 2018.					|

 _______________________________________________________________________________________
|											|
|		 Upcoming Changes to Current Employment Statistics Data 		|
|											|
| Effective with the release of January 2023 estimates on March 13, 2023, all nonfarm 	|
| payroll employment estimates for states and areas presented in tables 3 and 4 of this |
| news release will be adjusted to 2022 benchmark levels. Not seasonally adjusted data  |
| beginning with April 2021 and seasonally adjusted data beginning with January 2018 	|
| are subject to revision. Some not seasonally adjusted and seasonally adjusted series 	|
| may be revised as far back as 1990.							|
|											|
| In addition, the Current Employment Statistics (CES) State and Area division will 	|
| revise the basis for industry classification from the 2017 North American Industry 	|
| Classification System (NAICS) to NAICS 2022. The conversion to NAICS 2022 will result |
| in revisions reflecting content and coding changes within the mining and logging, 	|
| manufacturing, wholesale trade, retail trade, information, financial activities, and  |
| other services sectors. The majority of the changes associated with the 2022 NAICS 	|
| update impact levels of detail not published by CES State and Area. Details of 	|
| updated titles and new, discontinued, and collapsed industries resulting from the 	|
| NAICS 2022 update, as well as changes due to the annual benchmarking process, will be |
| available on March 13, 2023. For more information on NAICS 2022, visit		|

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 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
   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 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.
