(EDT) Media contact: (202) 691-5902 Friday, June 19, 2009 REGIONAL AND STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT: MAY 2009 Regional and state unemployment rates were nearly all higher in May. Forty-eight states and the District of Columbia recorded over-the-month unemployment rate increases, 1 state registered a rate decrease, and 1 state had no rate change, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. Over the year, jobless rates were higher in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The national unemployment rate rose from 8.9 percent in April to 9.4 percent in May, which was 3.9 per- centage points higher than a year earlier. In May, nonfarm payroll employment decreased in 39 states and increased in 11 states and the District of Columbia. The largest over-the-month decrease in the level of employment occurred in California (-68,900), followed by Florida (-61,000), Texas (-24,700), and Michigan (-23,900). Arizona and Florida experi- enced the largest over-the-month percentage decreases in employ- ment (-0.8 percent each), followed by Oklahoma (-0.7 percent) and Arkansas, Kentucky, and Michigan (-0.6 percent each). The largest over-the-month increases in employment occurred in Massachusetts (4,900), Connecticut (3,600), North Dakota (3,000), and Alaska (2,900). Alaska (+0.9 percent) experienced the largest over-the-month percentage increase, followed by North Dakota (+0.8 percent) and Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Mexico (+0.2 percent each). Over the year, nonfarm employment decreased in 48 states and the District of Columbia, increased in 1 state, and remained unchanged in 1 state. The largest over-the-year per- centage decreases occurred in Arizona (-7.4 percent), Michigan (-7.2 percent), Nevada (-6.1 percent), Idaho (-5.5 percent), Oregon (-5.4 percent), and Florida (-5.3 percent). Only North Dakota (+1.4 percent) reported an over-the-year percentage in- crease, and Alaska (0.0 percent) reported no over-the-year percent- age change. Regional Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted) In May, the West reported the highest regional jobless rate, 10.1 percent, followed by the Midwest, 9.8 percent. The last time any region had a rate of at least 10.0 percent was September 1983, when the Midwest posted a rate of 10.1 percent. The Northeast re- corded the lowest rate in May, 8.3 percent. All four regions re- gistered statistically significant unemployment rate increases from April, led by the Midwest (+0.6 percentage point). All four regions also reported significant jobless rate increases from May 2008, the largest of which was in the West (+4.2 percentage points). (See table 1.) - 2 - Among the nine geographic divisions, the Pacific and East North Central reported the highest unemployment rates in May, 11.1 and 11.0 percent, respectively. The Pacific rate was the highest on record for that division; the South Atlantic, at 9.6 percent, also posted a series high. (All region, division, and state series begin in 1976.) The West South Central registered the lowest jobless rate, 7.0 percent in May. Eight of the 9 divisions experienced statistically signifi- cant over-the-month unemployment rate changes, all of which were in- creases: the East North Central and East South Central (+0.7 percent- age point each); Mountain, South Atlantic, West North Central, and West South Central (+0.5 point each); and Middle Atlantic and Pacific (+0.4 point each). All nine divisions had significant over-the-year rate increases, with the Pacific and East North Central recording the largest changes (+4.7 and +4.6 percentage points, respectively). State Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted) Michigan again reported the highest jobless rate, 14.1 percent in May. The states with the next highest rates were Oregon, 12.4 percent; Rhode Island and South Carolina, 12.1 percent each; California, 11.5 percent; Nevada, 11.3 percent; and North Carolina, 11.1 percent. Six additional states and the District of Columbia recorded unemployment rates of at least 10.0 percent. The California, Nevada, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, and South Carolina rates were the highest on re- cord for those states. Florida, at 10.2 percent, and Georgia, at 9.7 percent, also posted series highs. Nebraska and North Dakota registered the lowest unemployment rates, 4.4 percent each. Overall, 12 states and the District of Columbia had significantly higher jobless rates than the U.S. figure of 9.4 percent, 29 states reported measurably lower rates, and 9 states had rates little different from that of the nation. (See tables A and 3.) Thirty-five states and the District of Columbia recorded statistically significant over-the-month unemployment rate increases in May. Michigan reported the largest of these (+1.2 percentage points), followed by Rhode Island (+1.0 point) and Missouri and West Virginia (+0.9 point each). Fifteen states registered May unemployment rates that were not appreciably 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.) Oregon reported the largest jobless rate increase from a year earlier (+6.7 percentage points), followed by Michigan (+5.9 points) and South Carolina (+5.8 points). Thirteen additional states and the District of Columbia recorded rate increases of 4.0 percentage points or more. The remaining 34 states had smaller, but also statistically significant, rate increases from May 2008. (See table C.) Nonfarm Payroll Employment (Seasonally Adjusted) Between April and May 2009, 14 states experienced statistically sig- nificant changes in employment; 12 states reported declines and 2 re- ported gains in that time period. California (-68,900) and Florida (-61,000) reported the largest statistically significant decreases. (See tables D and 5.) North Dakota (+3,000) and Alaska (+2,900) experienced statistically significant increases in employment. - 3 - Over the year, 45 states experienced statistically significant changes in employment, all decreases. The states with the largest statistically significant job losses were California (-744,000), Florida (-417,500), Michigan (-302,800), Illinois (-273,500), and Ohio (-262,100). Four states recorded statistically significant decreases in employment that were less than 15,000: New Hampshire (-14,800), Vermont (-13,300), Montana (-8,400), and South Dakota (-6,800).

- 9 - 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 layoff expecting recall need not be looking for work to be counted as unemployed. The labor force is the sum of employed and unemployed persons. The unem- ployment 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 unemploy- ment 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 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-Naperville-Joliet, 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, histori- - 10 - cal data for the most recent five years (both seasonally adjusted and not seasonally adjusted) are revised near the beginning of each calendar year, prior to or coincident with the release of January estimates. Seasonal adjustment. Seasonal adjustment of modeled estimates of em- ployment and unemployment levels is performed within the modeling procedure. Series are decomposed into trend, seasonal, and irregular components and sur- vey error. This directly yields seasonally adjusted estimates for employment and unemployment levels with reliability measures. Labor force levels and un- employment rates are calculated from these two estimates. 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 November 20, 2008. A detailed list of the geographic definitions is available on the Internet at http://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. In- dustries 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 44 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 super-sector 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. - 11 - 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 resulting 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. Unemployment rates are computed from unrounded data and thus may differ slightly from rates com- puted 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 was 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 high- lighting the direction of the movements in regional and state unemployment rates and state nonfarm payroll employment regardless of their statistical significance. The remainder of the analysis in the release takes statistical significance into consideration. Labor force and unemployment estimates. Model-based error measures for both sea- sonally adjusted and not seasonally adjusted data and for over-the-month changes are available online at http://www.bls.gov/lau/lastderr.htm. BLS uses a 90-percent con- fidence level in determining whether changes in LAUS unemployment rates are statisti- cally significant. The average magnitude of the current year over-the-month change in a state unemployment rate that is required in order to be statistically significant at the 90-percent confidence level is between 0.3 and 0.4 percentage point. More details can be found on the Web site. Measures of nonsampling error are not available, but ad- ditional information on the subject is provided in Employment and Earnings Online at http://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 http://www.bls.gov/sae/790stderr.htm. BLS uses a 90- percent confidence level in determining whether changes in CES employment levels are statistically significant. Information on recent benchmark revisions for states is available on the Internet at http://www.bls.gov/sae/. Additional information More complete information on the technical procedures used to develop these esti- mates 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 over 300 metropolitan areas and metropolitan New England City and Town Areas (NECTAs) are available in the news release, Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment.
