REGIONAL AND STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT -- FEBRUARY 2011
Regional and state unemployment rates were generally little changed in
February. Twenty-seven states and the District of Columbia recorded
unemployment rate decreases, 7 states registered rate increases, and
16 states had no change, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported
today. Forty-one states and the District of Columbia posted
unemployment rate decreases from a year earlier, 7 states reported
increases, and 2 states had no change. The national jobless rate was
8.9 percent in February, little changed from January but 0.8
percentage point lower than a year earlier.
In February nonfarm payroll employment increased in 35 states,
decreased in 14 states and the District of Columbia, and was unchanged
in 1 state. The largest over-the-month increase in employment occurred
in California (+96,500), followed by Pennsylvania (+23,700), Florida
and Texas (+22,700 each), and Illinois (+17,600). South Carolina
experienced the largest over-the-month percentage increase in employment
(+0.9 percent), followed by California and Delaware (+0.7 percent each)
and Oregon and Rhode Island (+0.6 percent each). The largest over-the-month
decrease in employment occurred in Kansas (-12,800), followed by Missouri
(-10,100), Washington (-8,500), Indiana (-7,900), and Oklahoma (-5,200).
Kansas experienced the largest over-the-month percentage decrease in
employment (-1.0 percent), followed by Montana (-0.6 percent), Maine and
New Mexico (-0.5 percent each), and Missouri and Wyoming (-0.4 percent each).
Over the year, nonfarm employment increased in 44 states and the District
of Columbia and decreased in 6 states. The largest over-the-year percentage
increase occurred in North Dakota (+4.4 percent), followed by Vermont (+2.8
percent) and Alaska and Texas (+2.5 percent each). The largest over-the-
year percentage decrease in employment occurred in Kansas (-1.0 percent),
followed by New Mexico (-0.8 percent) and Nevada (-0.7 percent).
Regional Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted)
The West reported the highest regional unemployment rate in February,
10.8 percent, while the Northeast and Midwest recorded the lowest rates,
8.3 and 8.4 percent, respectively. Over the month, the Midwest, South,
and West each experienced statistically significant jobless rate changes
(-0.1 percentage point each). Three of the 4 regions registered
significant rate changes from a year earlier, all of which were declines:
the Midwest (-1.6 percentage points), Northeast (-0.7 point), and South
(-0.4 point). (See table 1.)
Among the nine geographic divisions, the Pacific continued to report the
highest jobless rate, 11.4 percent in February. The West North Central
again registered the lowest rate, 7.0 percent. The South Atlantic and
Pacific were the only divisions with statistically significant over-the-
month unemployment rate changes (-0.2 and -0.1 percentage point, respectively).
Over the year, two divisions posted significant rate changes: the East
North Central (-2.1 percentage points) and the Middle Atlantic (-0.6 point).
State Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted)
Nevada continued to register the highest unemployment rate among the states,
13.6 percent in February. The states with the next highest rates were
California, 12.2 percent, Florida, 11.5 percent, and Rhode Island,
11.2 percent. North Dakota reported the lowest jobless rate, 3.7 percent,
followed by Nebraska and South Dakota, 4.3 and 4.8 percent, respectively.
One state, Colorado, set a new series high, 9.3 percent. (All state series
begin in 1976.) In total 22 states posted jobless rates significantly lower
than the U.S. figure of 8.9 percent, 10 states recorded measurably higher
rates, and 18 states and the District of Columbia had rates that were not
appreciably different from that of the nation. (See tables A and 3.)
Nevada experienced the largest over-the-month unemployment rate decrease
in February (-0.6 percentage point). Six other states also posted
statistically significant rate declines from January: Florida (-0.4
percentage point); Indiana, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina (-0.3 point
each); California (-0.2 point); and Maryland (-0.1 point). The remaining 43
states and the District of Columbia 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.
Sixteen states reported statistically significant over-the-year jobless rate
decreases in February, the largest of which were in Michigan (-3.1 percentage
points) and Illinois (-2.2 points). The remaining 34 states and the District
of Columbia registered unemployment rates that were not appreciably different
from those of a year earlier. (See table B.)
Nonfarm Payroll Employment (Seasonally Adjusted)
Over the month, 19 states recorded statistically significant changes in employment.
The largest over-the-month statistically significant job gains occurred in Cali-
fornia (+96,500), Pennsylvania (+23,700), Florida (+22,700), and Illinois (+17,600).
Six states experienced statistically significant over-the-month declines in
employment: Kansas (-12,800), Missouri (-10,100), Washington (-8,500), New
Mexico (-4,000), Maine (-3,100), and Montana (-2,500). (See tables C and 5.)
Over the year, 27 states experienced statistically significant changes in employment,
all of which were increases. The largest increase occurred in Texas (+254,200),
followed by California (+196,400), Pennsylvania (+106,800), Ohio (+77,600), and
Illinois (+75,200). (See table D.)

| Upcoming Changes to Current Employment Statistics Data |
| |
| With the release of preliminary April 2011 estimates in May |
| 2011, state and area nonfarm employment estimates will |
| incorporate net business birth/death adjustment factors |
| estimated on a quarterly basis, replacing the current |
| practice of estimating the factors annually. This will allow |
| the state and area nonfarm employment estimates to |
| incorporate information from the Quarterly Census of |
| Employment and Wages into the net birth/death adjustment |
| factors as soon as it becomes available and thereby improve |
| the factors. |
|________________________________________________________________|
________________________________________________________________
| |
| Production of March Preliminary Current Employment |
| Statistics Data |
| |
| The production of state and metropolitan area Current |
| Employment Statistics (CES) estimates will transition from |
| State Workforce Agencies to the BLS with the production of |
| preliminary estimates for March 2011, to be released on |
| April 19, 2011. Concurrent with this transition, the BLS |
| will implement several methodological changes to standardize |
| the estimation approach across states. While these changes |
| will reduce the potential for statistical bias in state and |
| metropolitan area estimates, they may increase the month-to- |
| month variability of the estimates. More detailed information |
| on the changes to procedures for producing CES estimates is |
| available on the BLS Web site at www.bls.gov/sae/cesprocs.htm.|

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 Statis-
tics (BLS) by the U.S. Census Bureau. The LAUS program measures employ-
ment 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 dis-
pute, 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 lay-
off expecting recall need not be looking for work to be counted as unem-
ployed. 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 State 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-Glen-
dale metropolitan division and the balance of California. Similarly, esti-
mates for New York State are derived by summing the estimates for New York
City and the balance of New York State. Estimates for all nine census divi-
sions 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 season-
ally adjusted) are revised near the beginning of each calendar year, prior to
the release of January estimates.
Seasonal adjustment. The LAUS program introduced smoothed seasonally ad-
justed (SSA) estimates in January 2010. These are seasonally-adjusted data
that have incorporated a long-run trend smoothing procedure, resulting in
estimates that are less volatile than those previously produced. The esti-
mates 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. For more
information about the smoothing technique, 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, 2009. 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 resi-
dence; 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 rela-
tive" 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-do-
main 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 em-
ployment 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 em-
ployment total is computed by aggregating the independently adjusted supersector
series. In other states, the seasonally adjusted payroll employment total is in-
dependently 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. 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. 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-of-states" employment series,
and cautions users that such a series is subject to a relatively large and vola-
tile error structure.
Reliability of the estimates
The estimates presented in this release are based on sample surveys, adminis-
trative 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 sur-
veyed. 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 re-
sulting 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. Un-
employment 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 improve-
ments to its methodology. Among these were the development of model-based error
measures for the monthly estimates and the estimates of over-the-month 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 signi-
ficance. The remainder of the analysis in the release takes statistical signifi-
cance into consideration.
Labor force and unemployment estimates. Model-based error measures for
seasonally adjusted and not seasonally adjusted data and for over-the-month
and over-the-year 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
for statistical significance 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 rate for significance is about 0.9 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 employ-
ment levels are statistically significant. Information on recent benchmark revi-
sions 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.
Estimates of labor force and unemployment from the LAUS program, as well as
nonfarm employment from the CES program, for 380 metropolitan areas and
metropolitan New England City and Town Areas (NECTAs) are available in the news
release, Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment. Estimates of labor
force, employment, and unemployment for approximately 7,300 subnational areas are
available on the Internet at www.bls.gov/lau/. Employment data from the CES program
for states and metropolitan areas are available on the Internet at www.bls.gov/sae/.
