                     STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT -- JANUARY 2025

                     
Unemployment rates were higher in January in 1 state and stable in 49 states and the 
District of Columbia, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Thirty-two 
states had jobless rate increases from a year earlier, 2 states had decreases, and 16 
states and the District had little change. The national unemployment rate edged down 
over the month to 4.0 percent but was 0.3 percentage point higher than in January 2024.

Nonfarm payroll employment decreased in 4 states and was essentially unchanged in 46
states and the District of Columbia in January 2025. Over the year, nonfarm payroll 
employment increased in 17 states and was essentially unchanged in 33 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

South Dakota had the lowest jobless rate in January, 1.9 percent. Nevada had the 
highest unemployment rate, 5.8 percent, followed by California, 5.4 percent. In total,
17 states had unemployment rates lower than the U.S. figure of 4.0 percent, 5 states 
and the District of Columbia had higher rates, and 28 states had rates that were not 
appreciably different from that of the nation. (See tables A and 1.)

In January, Pennsylvania had the only unemployment rate increase (+0.1 percentage point). 
The remaining 49 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 as 
large numerically as the significant change. (See table B.)

Thirty-two states had unemployment rate increases from January 2024, the largest of which
was in Michigan (+1.3 percentage points). Two states had over-the-year jobless rate 
decreases: Washington (-0.3 percentage point) and Montana (-0.2 point). Sixteen states and
the District of Columbia had jobless rates that were not notably different from those of 
a year earlier, though some had changes that were at least as large numerically as the 
significant changes. (See table C.)

Nonfarm Payroll Employment

Nonfarm payroll employment decreased in 4 states and was essentially unchanged in 46 states
and the District of Columbia in January 2025. Job losses occurred in Georgia (-28,200, or 
-0.6 percent), Missouri (-17,200, or -0.6 percent), Indiana (-12,600, or -0.4 percent), and 
West Virginia (-4,000, or -0.6 percent). (See tables D and 3.)

Over the year, nonfarm payroll employment increased in 17 states and was essentially unchanged
in 33 states and the District of Columbia. The largest job gains occurred in Texas (+187,700),
New York (+166,500), and Florida (+139,000). The largest percentage increases in employment
occurred in Alaska and Idaho (+2.8 percent each), followed by South Carolina (+2.4 percent).

|                     Changes to Local Area Unemployment Statistics Data		     |
|											     |
| Effective with the release of Regional and State Unemployment 2024 Annual Averages on	     |
| March 5, 2025, the civilian labor force and unemployment data for the states and the       |
| District of Columbia presented in tables 1 and 2 of this news release were revised to      |
| incorporate updated inputs, new population controls, re-estimation of models, and          |
| adjustment to new census division and national control totals. The population controls     |
| for the current decade continue to reflect a "blended base," with elements from three      |
| independent data sources for April 1, 2020. The population controls from January 1980-     |
| April 2020 reflect synthetic intercensal population estimates produced by BLS to mitigate  |
| decennial breaks. Data in table 1 were re-seasonally adjusted as well. Both not seasonally |
| adjusted and seasonally adjusted data were replaced back to their series beginnings in     |
| January 1976. More information is available at                                             |

|											     |
| Data from Puerto Rico's household survey were subject to population recontrolling and re-  |
| seasonal adjustment from January 2023 forward.                                             |

|											     |
|                    Changes to Current Employment Statistics (CES) Data		     |
|											     |
| Effective with this news release, all nonfarm payroll employment estimates for states and  |
| areas presented in tables 3 and 4 have been adjusted to 2024 benchmark levels. Not         |
| seasonally adjusted data beginning with April 2023 and seasonally adjusted data beginning  |
| with January 2020 were subject to revision. Some not seasonally adjusted and seasonally    |
| adjusted series have been revised as far back as 1990. Information on annual benchmark     |
| processing is available at www.bls.gov/web/laus/benchmark.htm.                             |
|                                                                                            |
| Also effective with this news release, the CES metropolitan statistical area (MSA)         |
| estimates have been updated to reflect the delineations based on the 2020 Census,          |
| available at www.bls.gov/bls/omb-bulletin-23-01-revised-delineations-of-metropolitan-      |
| statistical-areas.pdf.                                                                     |
|                                                                                            |
| As a result of this update, new MSAs have been added to publication, some existing MSAs    |
| have undergone name and/or compositional changes, and other existing areas have been       |
| removed from publication. For the six New England states, New England City and Town Areas  |
| (NECTAs) have been discontinued and replaced by areas and divisions made up of counties or |
| equivalent entities. Details of these changes are published in the annual CES State and    |
| Area benchmark article at www.bls.gov/web/laus/benchmark.htm.                              |
|                                                                                            |

|                    Southern California Wildfires and Severe Winter Weather		     |
|											     |
| Wildfires in Southern California began in early January and continued through the          |
| reference periods for both the household and establishment surveys. Severe winter weather  |
| occurred in much of the country during the January reference periods for both surveys. No  |
| changes were made to either the establishment or household survey estimation procedures    |
| for the January data. It is likely that payroll employment, hours, and earnings estimates  |
| in some states were affected by the wildfires and winter weather; however, it is not       |
| possible to quantify the net effect on the over-the-month change in employment, hours, or  |
| earnings estimates because the establishment survey is not designed to isolate effects     |
| from extreme weather events.                                                               |
|                                                                                            |
| For information on how unusually severe weather can affect employment and hours estimates, |
| see question 8 in the Frequently Asked Questions section of the Employment Situation news  |
| release at www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.faq.htm.                                        |

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 five additional substate areas (the Cleveland, Detroit-Warren-Dearborn, and Seattle-
Tacoma-Bellevue metropolitan areas and the Chicago-Naperville-Schaumburg and Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall
metropolitan divisions) and their respective balances of state are produced using a similar model-based
approach. The small number of areas and divisions selected for LAUS time-series modeling reflect the
delineations per U.S. Office of Management and Budget Bulletin No. 23-01.

   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 implementation of synthetic intercensal population controls in 2025 to
smooth decennial discontinuities, historical data were re-estimated back to the series beginnings in
1976, 1990, or 1994. For more information, see www.bls.gov/lau/geography-and-data-changes-in-2025.htm.

   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.
     
Employment—from the CES program

   Definitions. Employment data refer to people on establishment payrolls who receive pay for any part
of the pay period that includes the 12th of the month. People 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 2022
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 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.htm.

   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 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.

Footnotes (1) Includes mining and logging, information, and other services (except public administration), not shown separately. (2) Mining and logging is combined with construction. (3) Missing series (denoted by '-') are not published seasonally adjusted because the seasonal component, which is small relative to the trend-cycle and irregular components, cannot be separated with sufficient precision. (p) Preliminary
NOTE: Data are counts of jobs by place of work. Data have been revised to reflect 2024 benchmarks and updated seasonal adjustment factors. Seasonally adjusted data from January 2020 are subject to revision. Some seasonally adjusted series may have been revised back to 1990. Estimates subsequent to the current benchmark are preliminary and will be revised when new information becomes available.
