For release 10:00 a.m. (EDT) Wednesday, May 11, 2011 USDL-11-0678 Technical information: (202) 691-6392 * mlsinfo@bls.gov * www.bls.gov/mls Media contact: (202) 691-5902 * PressOffice@bls.gov EXTENDED MASS LAYOFFS -- FIRST QUARTER 2011 (NOTE: This release and associated database were corrected on May 27, 2011. The number of layoff events in California has been corrected to include an additional 4 events which occurred during the reference quarter, increasing the number of separated workers in California by 506. The West region and national totals were also updated.) Employers initiated 1,397 mass layoff events in the first quarter of 2011 that resulted in the separation of 190,895 workers from their jobs for at least 31 days, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Extended mass layoff events and separations have decreased over the year for six consecutive quarters. (See table A.) First quarter 2011 layoff data are preliminary and are subject to revision. (See the Technical Note.) Forty-nine percent of employers expected to recall at least some laid-off workers, the highest first quarter percentage since 2005 and up from 38 percent in 2010. In the first quarter of 2010 to the first quarter of 2011, the number of events in the manufacturing sector decreased from 441 to 281, and associated worker separations fell from 60,855 to a series low 37,249. The average size of a layoff (as measured by the number of separations per layoff event) fell to a series low 137 workers during the first quarter of 2011. The national unemployment rate averaged 9.5 percent, not seasonally adjusted, in the first quarter of 2011, down from 10.4 percent a year earlier. Private nonfarm payroll employment, not seasonally adjusted, increased by 1.4 percent (1,448,000) over the year. Industry Distribution of Extended Layoffs Over the year, the number of extended mass layoff events declined in 13 of the 18 major private industry sectors. The manufacturing and retail trade sectors experienced the largest declines in the numbers of worker separations over the year. Nineteen of the 21 manufacturing subsectors experienced over-the-year decreases in the number of layoff events. (See table 1.) Construction firms recorded 339 events and 34,132 separations, primarily due to contract completion. This sector accounted for 24 percent of the layoff events and 18 percent of the related separations in the quarter. In these events, 77 percent of the employers anticipated recalling at least some of the displaced workers. Table A.

In the manufacturing sector, the number of events decreased over the year from 441 to 281, and associated worker separations fell from 60,855 to a series low 37,249. Forty-six percent of manufacturing employers with an extended mass layoff event in the first quarter of 2011 anticipated recalling at least some of the displaced workers. Reasons for Extended Layoffs Among the seven categories of economic reasons cited by employers for extended mass layoffs during the quarter, business demand factors accounted for 38 percent of events and 36 percent of related separations, primarily as a result of contract completion. Over the year, the largest decrease in worker separations occurred in layoffs attributed to business demand reasons. (See table 2.) Table B.

NOTE: The geographic boundaries of the metropolitan areas shown in this table are defined in Office of Management and Budget Bulletin 10-02, December 1, 2009. Movement of Work In the first quarter of 2011, 44 extended mass layoffs involved movement of work and were associated with 10,144 worker separations. Over the year, the number of such events decreased by 28, and the number of separations decreased by 1,347. Movement of work layoffs accounted for 4 percent of total nonseasonal events. (See table 9.) Fifty-nine percent of the events related to movement of work were from manufacturing industries. (See table 6.) Employers cited organizational changes as the economic reason for layoff in 43 percent of the events involving movement of work. (See table 7.) Among the four census regions, the largest proportions of workers affected by the movement of work were in the Northeast. (See table 8.) Among states, New Jersey, Massachusetts, California, and Illinois reported the highest numbers of separations associated with movement of work. The 44 events with movement of work for the first quarter involved 68 identifiable relocations of work actions. (See table 9.) Employers were able to provide information on the specific number of worker separations for 30 of these actions. Among these actions, 67 percent were domestic reassignments, and 80 percent involved work moving within the same company. (See table 10.) Recall Expectations Forty-nine percent of employers reporting an extended mass layoff in the first quarter indicated they anticipated some type of recall--the highest first quarter percentage since 2005 and up from 38 percent in 2010. Of those employers expecting to recall workers, 25 percent indicated the offer would be extended to all displaced employees, and 63 percent of employers anticipated extending the offer to at least half of the workers. Sixty-one percent of employers expecting to recall laid-off employees intend to do so within six months. Excluding extended mass layoff events due to seasonal work and vacation period, in which 90 percent of the employers expected a recall, employers anticipated recalling laid-off workers in 33 percent of the events. (See table 11.) Size of Extended Layoffs The average size of a layoff (as measured by the number of separations per layoff event) fell to a series low 137 workers during the quarter.(See table 12.) Events were largely concentrated at the lower end of the extended layoff-size spectrum, with a series high of 77 percent involving fewer than 150 workers. Conversely, only 3 percent of layoff events involved 500 or more workers. (See table 13.) Initial Claimant Characteristics A total of 179,686 initial claimants for unemployment insurance were associated with extended mass layoffs in the first quarter. Of these claimants, 15 percent were black, 18 percent were Hispanic, 37 percent were women, and 19 percent were 55 years of age or older. (See table 3.) In the entire civilian labor force for the same period, 12 percent of all persons were black, 15 percent were Hispanic, 47 percent were women, and 20 percent were 55 years of age or older. Geographic Distribution Among the four census regions, the West recorded the highest number of separations due to extended mass layoff events in the first quarter of 2011. Among the nine census divisions, the highest numbers of displaced workers were in the Pacific and the East North Central. All regions and 8 of the 9 divisions registered fewer laid-off workers compared with the first quarter of 2010. (See table 4.) California recorded the largest number of worker separations in the first quarter of 2011, followed by Illinois, New York, and Pennsylvania. Over the year, 41 states reported decreased numbers of workers laid off during the first quarter, led by California, Florida, and New York. (See table 5.) Eighty percent of the initial claimants for unemployment insurance associated with extended mass layoff events in the first quarter of 2011 resided within metropolitan areas. Among the 372 metropolitan areas, Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana, Calif., reported the highest number of resident initial claimants. Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, Pa.-N.J.-Del.-Md., Pittsburgh, Pa., and Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, Wash., entered into the highest 10 metropolitan areas in terms of initial claims by residency of claimant in the first quarter, replacing San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, Calif., Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach, Fla., and Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown, Texas, from the first quarter of 2010. (See table B.) Note The quarterly series on extended mass layoffs cover layoffs of at least 31-days duration that involve 50 or more individuals from a single employer filing initial claims for unemployment insurance during a consecutive 5-week period. Approximately 30 days after a mass layoff is triggered, the employer is contacted for additional information. Data for the current quarter are preliminary and subject to revision. This release also includes revised data for previous quarters. Data are not seasonally adjusted, but survey data suggest that there is a seasonal pattern to layoffs. Thus, comparisons between consecutive quarters should not be used as an indicator of trend. For additional information about the program, see the Technical Note. ________________ The Mass Layoffs news release for April is scheduled to be released on Friday, May 20, 2011, at 10:00 a.m. (EDT).
Technical Note The Mass Layoff Statistics (MLS) program is a federal-state program which identifies, describes, and tracks the effects of major job cutbacks, using data from each state's unemployment insurance database. Employers which have at least 50 initial claims filed against them during a consecutive 5-week per- iod are contacted by the state agency to determine whether these separations are of at least 31 days duration, and, if so, information is obtained on the total number of persons separated and the reasons for these separations. Em- ployers are identified according to industry classification and location, and unemployment insurance claimants are identified by such demographic factors as age, race, gender, ethnic group, and place of residence. The program yields information on an individual's entire spell of unemployment, to the point when regular unemployment insurance benefits are exhausted. Definitions Domestic relocation. A movement of work from an establishment within the U.S. to a location also inside the U.S., either within the same company or to a different company altogether (domestic outsourcing). Employer. A firm covered by state unemployment insurance laws. Information on employers is obtained from the Quarterly Census ofEmployment and Wages (QCEW) program, which is administered by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Extended mass layoff event. A layoff defined by the filing of 50 or more initial claims for unemployment insurance benefits from an employer during a 5-week period, with at least 50 workers separated for more than 30 days. Such layoffs involve both persons subject to recall and those who are terminated. Initial claimant. A person who files any notice of unemployment to initiate a request either for a determination of entitlement to and eligibility for com- pensation, or for a subsequent period of unemployment within a benefit year or period of eligibility. Movement of work. The reassignment of work activities previously performed at the worksite by the company experiencing the layoff (1) to another worksite within the company; (2) to another company under formal contractual arrange- ments at the same worksite; or (3) to another company under formal contractual arrangements at another worksite either within or outside of the U.S. Outsourcing. A movement of work that was formerly conducted inhouse by em- ployees paid directly by a company to a different company under a contractual arrangement. Overseas relocation. A movement of work from an establishment within the U.S. to a location outside of the U.S. (offshoring), either within the same company or to a different company altogether (offshore outsourcing). Relocation of work action. A movement-of-work action where the employer provides information on the new location of work and/or the number of workers affected by the movement. Events may involve more than one action per employer if work is moved to more than one location. Separations. The number of individuals who have become displaced during an extended mass layoff event as provided by the employer, regardless of whether they file for unemployment insurance or not. Worksite closure. The complete closure of an employer or the partial closure of an employer with multiple locations where entire worksites affected by layoffs are closed. Revisions to preliminary data The latest quarterly data in this news release are considered preliminary. After the initial publication of quarterly information, more data are collected as remaining employer interviews for the quarter are completed and additional initial claimant information associated with extended layoff events is received. Movement of work concepts and questions Beginning in 2004, the economic reasons "domestic relocation" and "overseas relocation" were replaced by the movement of work concept. The movement of work data are not collected in the same way as the relocation reasons in releases prior to 2004; therefore, the movement of work data are not comparable to the data for those discontinued reasons. Questions on movement of work and location are asked for all layoff events when the reason for separation is other than "seasonal work" or "vacation period," as these are unlikely. Movement of work questions are asked after the analyst veri- fies that a layoff in fact occurred and lasted more than 30 days. If the reason for layoff is other than seasonal or vacation, the employer was asked the following: (1) "Did this layoff include your company moving work from this location(s) to a different geographic location(s) within your company?" (2) "Did this layoff include your company moving work that was performed in- house by your employees to a different company, through contractual arrangements?" A "yes" response to either question is followed by: "Is the location inside or outside of the U.S.?" and "How many of the layoffs were a result of this relocation?" Layoff actions are classified as "domestic relocation" if the employer responds "yes" to questions 1 and/or 2 and indicates the location(s) was inside the U.S.; "overseas relocation" indicates that the location(s) was outside the U.S. Reliability of the data The identification of employers and layoff events in the MLS program and asso- ciated characteristics of claimants is based on administrative data on covered employers and unemployment insurance claims, and, therefore, is not subject to issues associated with sampling error. Nonsampling errors such as typographical errors may occur but are not likely to be significant. While the MLS employers and layoff events are not subject to sampling error, and all such employers are asked the interview questions, the employer responses are subject to nonsampling error. Nonsampling error can occur for many reasons, including the inability to obtain information for all respondents, inability or unwillingness of respondents to provide correct information, and errors made in the collection or processing of the data. For the first quarter of 2011, outright refusal to participate in the employer interview accounted for 4.9 percent of all private nonfarm events. Although included in the total number of instances involving the movement of work, employers in 38 relocations were unable to provide the number of separations specifically associated with the movement of work, 14 of which involved out-of- country moves.
