             STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT -- MAY 2020


Unemployment rates were lower in May in 38 states and the District of Columbia,
higher in 3 states, and stable in 9 states, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
reported today. All 50 states and the District had jobless rate increases from
a year earlier. The national unemployment rate declined by 1.4 percentage points
over the month to 13.3 percent but was 9.7 points higher than in May 2019.

Nonfarm payroll employment increased in 46 states, decreased in Hawaii and the
District of Columbia, and was unchanged in 3 states in May 2020. Over the year,
nonfarm payroll employment decreased in all 50 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

Nevada had the highest unemployment rate in May, 25.3 percent, followed by Hawaii,
22.6 percent, and Michigan, 21.2 percent. The rates in Delaware (15.8 percent),
Florida (14.5 percent), Massachusetts (16.3 percent), and Minnesota (9.9 percent)
set new series highs. (All state series begin in 1976.) Nebraska had the lowest
unemployment rate, 5.2 percent. In total, 24 states and the District of Columbia
had unemployment rates lower than the U.S. figure of 13.3 percent, 12 states had
higher rates, and 14 states had rates that were not appreciably different from 
that of the nation. (See tables A and 1.)

In May, the largest unemployment rate decreases occurred in Mississippi (-5.7
percentage points), Kentucky (-5.6 points), and Indiana (-5.2 points). Rates
declined over the month by at least 2.0 percentage points in an additional 18
states and the District of Columbia. The over-the-month jobless rate increases
occurred in Minnesota (+1.2 percentage points), Connecticut (+1.1 points), and
Florida (+0.7 point). Nine states had 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 unemployment rate increases from May 2019 occurred in Nevada (+21.3
percentage points), Hawaii (+19.9 points), and Michigan (+17.0 points), with
another 12 states experiencing increases of 10.0 points or more. The smallest
over-the-year rate increases occurred in Nebraska (+2.1 percentage points) and
the District of Columbia (+3.4 points). (See table C.)

Nonfarm Payroll Employment

Nonfarm payroll employment increased in 46 states, decreased in Hawaii and the
District of Columbia, and remained unchanged in 3 states in May 2020. The largest 
job gains occurred in Texas (+237,800), Pennsylvania (+198,300), and Florida 
(+182,900). The largest percentage increases occurred in Vermont (+6.4 percent),
Michigan (+5.2 percent), and Montana and Pennsylvania (+4.0 percent each). 
Employment decreased in Hawaii (-6,000, or -1.1 percent) and the District (-9,100,
or -1.2 percent). (See tables D and 3.)

All 50 states and the District of Columbia had over-the-year decreases in nonfarm
payroll employment in May. The largest job declines occurred in California
(-2,267,100), New York (-1,794,000), and Texas (-917,800). The smallest declines
occurred in Wyoming (-26,900), South Dakota (-33,100), and Alaska (-40,700). The
largest percentage declines occurred in Hawaii (-20.1 percent), Michigan (-19.2
percent), and New York (-18.3 percent). The smallest percentage declines occurred
in Utah (-4.8 percent), Arizona (-5.7 percent), and Idaho (-5.9 percent). (See
table E.)

|                Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic Impact on May 2020		   |
|                     Establishment and Household Survey Data			   |
|										   |
| BLS has continued to review all estimation and methodological procedures for	   |
| the establishment survey, which included the review of data, estimation	   |
| processes, the application of the birth-death model, and seasonal adjustment.	   |
| Business births and deaths cannot be adequately captured by the establishment	   |
| survey as they occur. Therefore, the Current Employment Statistics (CES)	   |
| program uses a model to account for the relatively stable net employment 	   |
| change generated by business births and deaths. Due to the impact of COVID-19,   |
| the relationship between business births and deaths is no longer stable. 	   |
| Typically, reports with zero employment are not included in estimation. For	   |
| the April final estimates, CES included a portion of these reports in the	   |
| estimates and made modifications to the birth-death model. For the May 2020	   |
| preliminary estimates, in addition to the inclusion of reported zeros and the	   |
| modification of the model, the establishment survey included a portion of the	   |
| reports that returned to reporting positive employment from reporting zero	   |
| employment. For more information, see www.bls.gov/web/empsit/cesbd.htm.	   |
| 										   |
| In the establishment survey, workers who are paid by their employer for all	   |
| or any part of the pay period including the 12th of the month are counted as	   |
| employed, even if they were not actually at their jobs. Workers who are	   |
| temporarily or permanently absent from their jobs and are not being paid are	   |
| not counted as employed, even if they are continuing to receive benefits. The	   |
| length of the reference period does vary across the respondents in the	   |
| establishment survey; one-third of businesses have a weekly pay period,	   |
| slightly over 40 percent a bi-weekly, about 20 percent semi-monthly, and a 	   |
| small amount monthly.								   |
| 										   |
| For the May 2020 estimates of household employment and unemployment from the	   |
| Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program, BLS continued to implement	   |
| level-shift outliers in the employment and/or unemployment inputs to the	   |
| models, based on statistical evaluation of movements in each area's inputs.	   |
| Both the Current Population Survey inputs, which serve as the primary inputs	   |
| to the LAUS models, and the nonfarm payroll employment and unemployment	   |
| insurance claims covariates were examined for outliers. The resulting		   |
| implementation of level shifts preserved movements in the published estimates	   |
| that the models otherwise would have discounted, without requiring changes	   |
| to how the models create estimates at other points in the time series.	   |
| 										   |
| Effective with the April 2020 revised and May 2020 preliminary data, BLS	   |
| modified the LAUS seasonal adjustment process to isolate level shifts from	   |
| the estimation of seasonal factors. This mitigated distortions that had been	   |
| present in the preliminary data for April 2020, which had resulted from the	   |
| complex relationships between level shifts in the household survey and 	   |
| covariate inputs to the state models. In addition, due to the increasing	   |
| complexity of the outlier treatments, use of the Reproducing Kernel Hilbert	   |
| Space filter to smooth the seasonally adjusted estimates was suspended. These	   |
| changes to the seasonal adjustment and smoothing procedures resulted in some	   |
| unusually large monthly revisions to the LAUS seasonally adjusted estimates	   |
| for April 2020.								   |
| 										   |
| In future cycles, the complex relationships between level shifts in the inputs   |
| and the revisions to the covariate inputs are likely to result in revisions	   |
| to LAUS data for the prior month of larger magnitudes than the historical	   |
| norms. This includes both the seasonally adjusted and not seasonally adjusted	   |
| data.										   |
| 										   |
| The "Frequently asked questions" document at					   |
| www.bls.gov/cps/employment-situation-covid19-faq-may-2020.pdf extensively	   |
| discusses the impact of a misclassification in the household survey on the	   |
| national estimates for May 2020. This misclassification continued to be	   |
| widespread geographically, with BLS analysis indicating that all states again	   |
| were affected to at least some degree. However, according to usual practice,	   |
| the data from the household survey are accepted as recorded. To maintain data	   |
| integrity, no ad hoc actions are taken to reclassify survey responses. Hence,	   |
| the household survey estimates of employed and unemployed people that serve	   |
| as the primary inputs to the state models were affected to varying degrees	   |
| by the misclassification, which in turn affected the official LAUS estimates	   |
| for May 2020.									   |
| 										   |
| Household data for Puerto Rico are not modeled, but rather are derived from	   |
| a monthly household survey similar to the Current Population Survey. Due to	   |
| the effects of the pandemic and efforts to contain the virus, Puerto Rico had	   |
| not been able to conduct its household survey for March or April 2020. 	   |
| Although data collection resumed for May 2020, BLS has not had sufficient 	   |
| opportunity to evaluate the resulting estimates or begin the process of 	   |
| interpolating data for the missing months, which will be necessary for 	   |
| seasonal adjustment. Hence, no estimates for Puerto Rico are being		   |
| published by BLS in conjunction with this news release.			   |

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 2015, 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 times-series models in early
   2015, 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 sample of establishments is very small or highly
   variable. In these cases, a model-based approach is used in estimation. These models
   use the direct sample estimates (described above), combined with forecasts of
   historical (benchmarked) data to decrease volatility in estimation. Two different 
   models (Fay-Herriot Model and Small Domain Model) are used depending on the industry
   level being estimated.For more detailed information about each model, refer to
   the BLS Handbook of Methods.
    
   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 in order
   to incorporate real-time estimates.

   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 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.

Additional information

   Estimates of civilian labor force and unemployment from the LAUS program, as well
   as nonfarm payroll employment from the CES program, for metropolitan areas and
   metropolitan divisions are available in the news release Metropolitan Area Employment
   and Unemployment. Estimates of civilian labor force, employed people, unemployed
   people, and unemployment rates for approximately 7,500 subnational areas are
   available online at www.bls.gov/lau/. Employment data from the CES program for
   states and metropolitan areas are available online at www.bls.gov/sae/. Information
