This bulletin presents data from the Current Popula­
tion Survey (CPS) for States, 30 large metropolitan
areas, and 11 central cities. It provides 1980 annual
averages for the employed and the unemployed by
demographic and economic characteristics which incor­
porate population counts projected from the 1970
decennial census. The estimates will be revised to incor­
porate population counts derived from the 1980 census
and will be published as they become available.
Data for earlier years were published in the following
reports: Geographic Profile o f Employment and
Unemployment, 1975 (Report 481) and 1976 (Report
504); State Profile o f Employment and Unemployment,
1977 (Report 539); Geographic Profile o f Employment
and Unemployment: States, 1978, Metropolitan Areas,
1977-78 (Report 571); and Geographic Profile o f
Employment and Unemployment, 1979 (Report 619).
The official BLS estimates presented in section IV
are developed from a Federal-State cooperative pro­
gram and are used in the administration of Federal fund
allocation programs. However, the data from the CPS




iii

for metropolitan areas and cities shown in section III
are also used in the administration of section 202 (F) (2)
(B) of the Comprehensive Employment and Training
Act Amendments of 1978.
New data include hours of work and additional detail
by sex, race, and marital status. Data for two
metropolitan areas, New York and Minneapolis-St.
Paul, are now based on the Labor Market Area (LMA)
rather than the Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area
(SMSA). For further detail, see appendix C.
This bulletin was prepared in the Division of Local
Area Unemployment Statistics by Richard Rosen,
Anderia Thomas, Paul Hadlock, and Joya Ashe under
the supervision of Sylvia Small. The tables were
prepared under the direction of Fred Cronkhite. Sandy
Grove, Denis Keyes, William L. Salvatore, and George
Schreider shared in this effort.

subject to sampling error.1Error ranges have been pro­
vided, at a 90-percent confidence interval, for the un­
employment rates in the first table of sections II and
III. In addition, appendix B provides tables from which
the sampling error ranges can be obtained for the data
in other tables in these sections.
The Federal-State Cooperative Program provides
monthly and annual average labor force and unemploy­
ment estimates for the 50 States and for 230 major la­
bor market areas (section IV). These estimates are
largely based upon administrative statistics from the un­
employment insurance system, adjusted to conform to
CPS annual estimates for the States. For the 10 largest
States, however, both the monthly and annual estimates
are obtained from the CPS. Appendix D describes the
procedures for estimating employment and unemploy­
ment under this program.

Data on unemployment in States and sub-State areas
are available from two major sources—the Current
Population Survey (CPS) and the Federal-State Coop­
erative Program.
The CPS is the regular monthly survey of about
65,000 households from which the national unemploy­
ment rate is derived. (See appendix A for definitions
and concepts in the CPS, and appendix B for a descrip­
tion of estimation procedures.) Annual average esti­
mates of the demographic characteristics of the labor
force (age, sex, and race) and the economic character­
istics of the employed and unemployed are published
for the 50 States, 30 large metropolitan areas, and 11
large cities, if they meet BLS standards of reliability
for publication. (See appendix B for an explanation of
the BLS standard for publication of CPS data.)
Estimates for States are shown in section II and for
metropolitan areas and cities in section III.
Since these estimates are based on a survey rather
than on a complete census of the population, they are

Situation in the States, 1980

cent. Outside these regions, Illinois and New Hamp­
shire were the only two States with significant growth.
(See text table 1.) In 1979, eight States in the North
Central and Northeastern regions had significant labor
force gains.
Not all demographic groups shared equally in these
gains. Although the number of men and women in the
labor force increased slightly in most States, their gains
were not generally large enough to be statistically sig­
nificant. Labor force gains for men were not significant
in any State, while significant gains for women occurred
in only three States—Arizona, Colorado, and Oregon.
The white labor force grew sharply (more than 5
percent) in four States—Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, and
Mississippi. None of these States had significant labor
force gains for black and other workers. However, the
black and other labor force grew very sharply—over
20 percent—in Delaware, Nevada, and Oklahoma; and
by about 9 percent in California.
Despite the long-term movement of black workers
to the more industrialized States, the black and other
labor force continued to have a large Southern base,
with 46 percent residing in that region. (In 1970, about
50 percent resided in the Southern States.) California
and New York had the largest black and other labor
force; about 10 percent of the national total were in
each of the two States. Additionally, Florida and Texas
together accounted for more than 10 percent of the
black and other labor force.
The black and other labor force includes, in addition
to blacks, American Indians, Alaskan Natives, Asians
and Pacific Islanders, and all other races other than
white. While a majority of the black and other group
is “black” in most States, in several West North Cen­
tral States and most of the Mountain States, a majority
of the black and other population is American Indian.
In Alaska, the black and other group is primarily Alas­
kan Natives, while in Hawaii, Asians and Pacific Is­
landers constitute the largest share of the population.

Both labor force and enployment growth slowed in
1980 in most States, but the effect of the 1980 recession
was most apparent in the North Central industrial States,
where 45 percent of the increase in unemployment was
concentrated. In four Western States, employment gains
continued through the recession—Arizona, California,
Colorado, and Nevada. However, of these Western
States, only California had significant employment gains
for black and other workers. Unemployment rates for
black and other workers were higher than for whites
in nearly all of the States for which data are pub­
lished—and higher by 10 percentage points or more in
11 States.
Additional information on the differences in the em­
ployment situation among the States is given in the fol­
lowing text and tables, which include several new ta­
bles for which data were not available in earlier years.
Expanded tables for 30 large metropolitan areas and 11
cities are also presented.
Because of changes in geographic boundary defini­
tions in the Minneapolis-St. Paul and New York areas,
users of these data should exercise caution when mak­
ing over-the-year comparisons. Readers are also encour­
aged to use the tests of significance and error ranges
provided in this and earlier Geographic Profile reports
in order to assess the importance of changes.
Labor force changes

The rate of growth of the national labor force slowed
to 1.8 percent in 1980, as the number of States with
statistically significant labor force gains dropped to 14.2
In 1979, when the national labor force increased by 2.5
percent, there were 19 States with significant gains. The
14 States where growth was significant in 1980 were
primarily in the West and South. However, growth
rates in several of the Western States were smaller than
they had been a year before.
The labor force increased by nearly 4.5 percent or
more in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, and Oregon in
1980. In the other Western and Southern States where
growth was significant, labor force gains were 2-4 per-

Labor force participation rates. The labor force partici­
pation rate—the percent of the civilian noninstitutional
population 16 years and over who were either employed
or unemployed in 1980—ranged from about 55 percent
in Florida and West Virginia to 70 percent or more in
four Western States—Alaska, Colorado, Nevada, and
Wyoming. Nationally, the labor force participation rate

2The word “significant” in this report means that a statistical test
of significance has been performed on the data and that the year-toyear change in a sample estimate has been found to be “statistically
significant.” This method takes into account the statistical error (sam­
pling variability) of estimates, based on the sample in each State. See
appendix B for further discussion.

South Dakota), participation rates for the black and
other group were even lower—less than 55 percent.

averaged 63.8 percent in 1980. Four North Central farm
States (Kansas, Minnesota, South Dakota, and Wiscon­
sin) were among the highest in labor force participa­
tion, along with Connecticut and New Hampshire in
the Northeast, and Maryland in the South. Labor force
attachment was generally lowest in the South, as 7 of
the 10 States with the lowest participation rates were
in this region. (See text table 2.)
Participation of adult men ranged from a low of 69
percent in Florida—where many retirees reside—up to
86 percent in Wyoming. The labor force attachment of
adult women continued to be well below that of adult
men in most States but ranged widely, from below 40
percent in West Virginia to over 60 percent in Alaska.
Teenage participation rates in the States varied from
about 44 percent in Alabama to nearly 72 percent in
Minnesota. Regionally, participation of teenagers in the
labor force was lowest in the South. (Six of the seven
States where participation rates were below 50 percent
were in this region.) Participation was highest in the
North Central farm States.
The labor force participation rate for black and other
workers (61.2 percent) averaged 2.6 percentage points
below the average for all workers in 1980. In several
States where American Indians or Alaskan Natives con­
stituted a major proportion of the black and other popu­
lation (Alaska, Montana, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and

Employment changes

Nationally, employment rose 0.3 percent to 97.3 mil­
lion in 1980, the smallest increase in any year since 1975.
In only four Western States were employment gains
statistically significant—Arizona, California, Colorado,
and Nevada. In 1979, when the increase in national em­
ployment was 2.7 percent, there were significant em­
ployment gains in 17 States.
Employment fell significantly in 1980 in two
States—Michigan (220,000 or 5.6 percent) and Indiana
(75,000 or 3.1 percent). No State had a significant em­
ployment decline in 1979. About two-thirds of the 1980
employment decline in Michigan was among white
workers. In Indiana, nearly all of the decline was among
white workers.
Among the States where employment grew sharply,
California showed a nearly equal increase for white and
black and other workers. In Arizona, however, while
gains for white workers were very sharp, employment
among black and other workers declined. Employment
among white workers also rose significantly (5 percent
or more) in Alaska, Colorado, and Mississippi, while
changes for black and other workers were not large
enough to be significant.

f o r t h e S ta te , b a s e d o n th e s a m p le in t h e S ta te .

Employment of men held relatively steady in 1980,
except in the three industrial North Central States of
Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio, where very sharp em­
ployment declines for men reflected the 1980 auto pro­
duction slowdown. Female employment did not decline
significantly in any State, while substantial gains oc­
curred in only two States, Arizona and Colorado—many



fewer than in recent years.
Occupational distribution of employment. White-collar
workers outnumbered blue-collar workers in all States
except West Virginia in 1980. Among men, craft
workers continued to constitute the largest group (about
one-fifth), except in four States—Delaware, Maryland,
4

New Mexico, and New York—where the number of
professional and technical workers was greater. Female
employment tended to be more concentrated, with onethird of the total in clerical occupations in most States.
Service occupations accounted for the next largest cate­
gory—about one-fifth.
Hours of work and full-time vs. part-time status. Among
persons employed in nonagricultural wage and salary
jobs, average hours of work ranged from just under 37
in Massachusetts and Rhode Island to 40 in Alaska. On
the average, 4 out of every 5 employed persons in most
States had full-time jobs in 1980. Among full-time
workers, average hours were lowest in New York (41.9)
and highest in Alaska (45.4).
The part-time labor force, which consists of persons
voluntarily working less than 35 hours per week and
those unemployed seeking part-time jobs, constituted
about 15 percent of the national labor force in 1980. In
six States (Alabama, Alaska, Nevada, South Carolina,
Tennessee, and West Virginia), this percentage was
smaller (12 percent or less).
States with higher part-time work forces (18 percent
or more) were Minnesota, South Dakota, Utah, and
Wisconsin.
Unemployment

Unemployment rate increases between 1979 and 1980
were widespread among the States, as the national un­
employment rate rose sharply, from 5.8 to 7.1 percent.
There were significant increases in 32 States in all re­
gions, although some regions were affected more than
others. (See chart 1.)
In nine States, including five industrial North Cen­
tral States (Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, and Wis­
consin) where cutbacks were prevalent in transporta­
tion equipment and related durable goods manufactur­
ing industries, the increase was more than 2.0 percent­
age points. These five States accounted for nearly 45
percent of the national increase in unemployment. Un­
employment rates also rose sharply in the adjacent States
of Kentucky, West Virginia, and Missouri, and in
Idaho. In 1979, only Michigan had a significant increase
in unemployment, as the automobile production slow­
down began.
Hawaii was the only State where unemployment fell
significantly during 1980.
Five States had unemployment rates higher than 8.5
percent in 1980: Michigan had the highest rate, 12.6
percent, followed by Alaska, Indiana, West Virginia,
and Alabama. (See chart 2.) Only Alaska had a rate as
high as 8.5 percent in 1979.
By contrast, there were three Northwestern farm
States with unemployment rates lower than 4.5 percent
in 1980 (Kansas, Nebraska, and Wyoming), compared
with eleven States in 1979. However, even in these



three States, 1980 unemployment rates were about 1.0
percentage point higher than in 1979.
Unemployment by demographic group. Unemployment
rates for both white and black and other workers were
very high in the States most directly affected by the
slowdown in automobile and related manufacturing in­
dustries. Unemployment rates were over 7 percent for
white workers in most of the industrial North Central
States and, in Michigan, over 11 percent. By contrast,
unemployment rates for white workers were below 5
percent in the central farm belt States, from North Da­
kota down to Texas, and in several Southern States.
Unemployment rates for black and other workers
were at least 10 percent in 41 of the 44 States where
separate rates are published for 1980, including 16 States
with rates of at least 15 percent. The highest rates were
in Michigan, Montana, and North Dakota (over 20 per­
cent). Only in Hawaii was the unemployment rate for
black and other workers under 5 percent. Asians and
Pacific Islanders constitute a majority of the black and
other population in this State.
Thus, despite increases for whites, unemployment
rates for black and other workers continued to be sig­
nificantly higher than those for white workers in nearly
all States. (See chart 3.) Nationally, the 1980 unemploy­
ment rate for black and other workers (13.2 percent)
was about 7 percentage points higher than for whites.
In 11 States, including 8 of 12 in the North Central re­
gion, the unemployment rate for black and other
workers was at least 10 percentage points higher than
for whites. Montana, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania were
the other States where the unemployment differential
was this large.
Despite the relatively high unemployment rates for
black and other workers in the North Central region,
43 percent of their total unemployed were in the South,
reflecting the concentration of their population in this
region. The black and other group accounted for more
than half of the unemployed in Mississippi and more
than one-third in seven other Southern States, and in
Alaska and Hawaii. (See chart 4.) In most of these
States, their share of unemployment was close to dou­
ble their representation in the labor force.
Duration of unemployment. The rise in unemployment
during 1980 was accompanied by an increase in the du­
ration of unemployment—the average length of a con­
tinuous period of unemployment during the year. Na­
tionally, 10.8 percent of the unemployed during an av­
erage month had been out of work 27 weeks or more
in 1980, compared with 8.7 percent in 1979. Such long­
term unemployment accounted for more than 10 per­
cent of the total in 17 States in 1980.
There was a sharp drop in the number of States where
the duration of unemployment was relatively short. In

ber of persons who voluntarily left their previous job
(job leavers), or who were entering the labor market
for the first time or reentering after a period of sepa­
ration (new entrants and reentrants), each of these
groups represented smaller shares of the Nation’s un­
employment in 1980 than in 1979.
Job losers constituted at least 55 percent of the un­
employed in 11 States, primarily in the North Central
and Northeastern part of the Nation. In 1979, only
Rhode Island had as high a proportion.
By contrast, in many of the rapidly growing South­
ern and Mountain States, job leavers and reentrants
constituted a larger-than-average share of unemploy­
ment. For example, job leavers were 12 percent of to­
tal unemployment nationally in 1980, but accounted for
at least 18 percent in each of seven Southern and Moun­
tain States—Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, Oklahoma,
Texas, Utah, and Wyoming. Reentrants, about 25 per­
cent of unemployment nationally, accounted for over
one-third of the total in seven States, primarily in the
Mountain and Pacific regions—Alaska, Colorado, Mon­
tana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah, and Wyoming.

1980 there were 11 States, primarily in the South and
West, where duration of unemployment averaged less
than 5 weeks, compared with 26 States in 1979:

Unemployment by reason. The number of job
losers—persons who were laid off or those whose em­
ployment was otherwise terminated involuntarily—rose
markedly from 1979 to 1980, from 2.6 to 3.9 million
nationwide. Job losers accounted for 52 percent of to­
tal unemployment in 1980, compared with 43 percent
in 1979. While there were slight increases in the num­

1 Error ranges are calculated at the 90-percent confidence interval, which means
that if repeated samples were drawn from the same population and an error range
constructed around each sample estimate, in 9 out of 10 cases the true value based
on a complete census of the population would be contained within these error ranges.
2 Differences in population levels occur because of independent estimation of males




27

and females.
NOTE: Data for demographic groups are not shown when they do not meet BLS
publication standards of reliability for the particular State based on the sample in that
State. See appendix B. Items may not add to totals or compute to displayed rates
because of rounding.

1 Error ranges are calculated at the 90-percent confidence interval, which means
that if repeated samples were drawn from the same population and an error range
constructed around each sample estimate, in 9 out of 10 cases the true value based
on a complete census of the population would be contained within these error ranges.

Error ranges are calculated at the 90-percent confidence interval, which means
that if repeated samples were drawn from the same population and an error range
constructed around each sample estimate, in 9 out of 10 cases the true value based
on a complete census of the population would be contained within these error ranges.

1 Error ranges are calculated at the 90-percent confidence interval, which means
that if repeated samples were drawn from the same population and an error range
constructed around each sample estimate, in 9 out of 10 cases the true value based
on a complete census of the population would be contained within these error ranges.
2 Differences in population levels occur because of independent estimation of males
and females.

UnempSofment
Estimates for States and
Large Labor Market Areas

The tables that follow provide monthly unemploy­
ment rates for States and the District of Columbia, and
annual average labor force and unemployment estimates
for States and 230 Labor Market Areas (LMA’s). These
estimates are produced for use in the administration of
the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act of
1973, as amended (CETA), the Public Works and Eco­
nomic Development Act of 1965, as amended, the Buy
American Act (Executive Order 10582), and Defense
Manpower Policy No. 4A.
These data are the product of a Federal-State coop­
erative program in which State employment security
agencies prepare labor force and unemployment esti­
mates under concepts, definitions, and technical proce­
dures established by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
In 10 large States (California, Florida, Illinois,
Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas) and two areas (New
York City and the Los Angeles-Long Beach LMA,
the monthly estimates are obtained directly from the
Current Population Survey (CPS), the monthly survey
of households used to measure unemployment nation­
ally. These State and area CPS estimates meet the BLS
standard of reliability (10-percent coefficient of varia­
tion on the level of unemployment at a 6-percent rate
of unemployment at one standard error) on a monthly
basis. In the remaining 40 States and the District of
Columbia, an initial estimate of employment and un­
employment is developed using data from the unemploy­
ment insurance (UI) system together with estimates of
persons not covered by UI.
A 6-month moving average of the CPS to the UIbased estimate is applied to the current month’s esti­
mate to bring the Ul-based State estimate more into
conformity with national definitions of employment and
unemployment.
Estimates for the Labor Market Areas (except for
Los Angeles-Long Beach) are obtained from the UI-




based estimates adjusted to the State employment and
unemployment totals.
Once each year, the monthly employment and un­
employment estimates for the 10 large States and two
large areas are adjusted to incorporate revised inde­
pendent population estimates. The Ul-based estimates
in the remaining States and the District of Columbia
are adjusted or “benchmarked” to annual averages from
the CPS, which meet the BLS reliability standard on
an annual basis. Estimates for areas within the States
are then adjusted so that the sub-State components add
to the statewide totals. The LMA estimates in the fol­
lowing tables have been adjusted to State annual aver­
age totals from the CPS.
Monthly estimates for the States and LMA’s shown
here are published as table E-l in Employment and Earn­
ings, and as a monthly BLS news release, “State and
Metropolitan Area Unemployment.”
Estimates for smaller LMA’s, all counties, cities of
25,000 population or more, and other jurisdictions for
administrative purposes (prime sponsors, program
agents, etc.) are published monthly through the Gov­
ernment Printing Office in Employment and Unemploy­
ment in States and Local Areas. However, because of
the small size of many of the areas, as well as the limita­
tions of the data inputs, users are cautioned that these
data should be used only to fulfill the program needs for
which the estimates were developed.
Subscription information should be addressed to the
Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Print­
ing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. Appendix A pro­
vides data mandated under the 1978 Amendments to
the CETA Act and under Defense Manpower Policy
No. 4A, which require that BLS publish CPS-based
data for the 30 large metropolitan areas shown in sec­
tion III, in addition to estimates for the same areas based
on the Federal-State Cooperative Program shown in
this section.

Appendix A . Definitions of
Data Derived from the
Cyrrerst Population Survey

Tables showing labor force status in sections I-III in­
clude provisional estimates of the civilian noninstitutional population 16 years and over in 1980 as well as
data on the civilian labor force (the total of the em­
ployed and the unemployed), unemployment rates, and
labor force participation rates. Population estimates are
revised by the U.S. Bureau of the Census each year.
The revised population estimates are incorporated into
the CPS labor force levels used in the Federal-State
Cooperative Program. This adjustment affects the esti­
mates of labor force, employment, and unemployment
but does not affect unemployment rates, participation
rates, or employment-population ratios.
Employed persons are all civilians who did any work
as paid employees or in their own business during the
survey week, or who worked 15 hours or more as un­
paid workers in an enterprise operated by a family mem­
ber. Persons temporarily absent from a job because of
illness, bad weather, a strike, or for personal reasons
are counted as employed whether they were paid by
their employer or were seeking other jobs.
Unemployed persons are all civilians who did not work
during the survey week, made specific efforts to find a
job in the prior 4 weeks, and were available for work
during the survey week (except for temporary illness).
Persons waiting to be recalled to a job from which they
had been laid off, and those waiting to report to a new
job within the next 30 days, are also counted as
unemployed.
Duration o f unemployment represents the length of
time (through the current survey week) during which
persons classified as unemployed had been continuously
looking for work. For persons on layoff, duration of
unemployment represents the number of full weeks since
the termination of their most recent employment. A pe­
riod of 2 weeks or more during which a person was
employed or ceased looking for work is considered to
break the continuity of the present period of jobseeking.
In this report, the percent of the unemployed with
short-term unemployment—less than 5 weeks or about
1 month—is contrasted with the percent unemployed
5-14 weeks, 15-26 weeks, 27-51 weeks, and 52 weeks
and over. Data are available by sex, age, and race in



111

States, metropolitan areas, and large cities. However,
because of the small size of the teenage and black and
other population in many areas, estimates of the dura­
tion of unemployment for these demographic groups
are available only for a limited number of areas. Esti­
mates are not published for categories in which there
are fewer than 500 persons unemployed.
Reasons fo r unemployment are divided into four ma­
jor groups: (1) Job losers— persons whose employment
ended involuntarily who immediately began looking for
work, and persons on layoff; (2) Job leavers— persons
who quit or otherwise terminated their employment
voluntarily and immediately began looking for work;
(3) Reentrants— persons who previously worked at a
full-time job lasting 2 weeks or longer but were out of
the labor force before looking for work; and (4) New
entrants—persons who never worked at a full-time job
lasting 2 weeks or longer.
The full-tim e labor force consists of persons working
on full-time schedules, persons involuntarily working
part time (employed part time for economic reasons),
and unemployed persons seeking full-time jobs. “Eco­
nomic reasons” include: Slack work, material shortages,
repairs to plant or equipment, start or termination of
job during the week, and inability to find full-time work.
The part-time labor force consists of persons working
part time voluntarily (1-34 hours), and unemployed per­
sons seeking part-time work. Persons with a job but not
at work are classified according to their usual full- or
part-time status.
Estimates for the full-time and part-time labor force
are shown for the States and 30 metropolitan areas.
However, because of the small numbers involved, reli­
able data for the black and other population are not
available for all areas.
Occupational data for the employed refer to the job
held during the survey week. Persons with two or more
jobs are classified according to the job in which they
worked the most hours during the survey week. The
unemployed are classified according to the last full-time
civilian job held for 2 weeks or more. The classifica­
tions of occupations used in data derived from the CPS
are as defined in the 1970 Census.

Employment, unemployment, and the unemployment
rate are shown for each of the States and the 30 large
metropolitan areas for each occupational category. Data
are not shown where the numbers are too small to yield
reliable estimates. In tables showing data for cities, oc­
cupational groups have been combined in order to im­
prove the quality of the estimates.
Hours of work statistics relate to the actual number
of hours worked during the survey week. For example,
persons who normally work 40 hours a week but who
were off on the Columbus Day holiday would be re­
ported as working 32 hours even though they were paid
for the holiday.
For persons working in more than one job, the fig­
ures relate to the number of hours worked in all jobs
during the survey week. However, all the hours are
credited to the major job.
The distribution of employment by hours worked re­
lates to persons “at work” during the survey week. Atwork data differ from data on total employment be­
cause the latter include persons in the zerohours-worked category, “with a job but not at work.”
Included in this latter group are persons who were on
vacation, ill, involved in a labor dispute, or otherwise
absent from their jobs for voluntary, noneconomic
reasons.




White and black and other are terms used to describe,
the race of workers. The “black and other” category
includes all persons who identified themselves in the
enumeration process to be other than white. At the time
of the 1970 Census of Population, 89 percent of the
black-and-other population group were black; the re­
mainder were primarily American Indians, Alaskan Na­
tives,, and Asians and Pacific Islanders. The term “black”
is used in this report when the relevant data are pro­
vided exclusively for the black population.
Hispanic origin refers to persons who identified them­
selves in the enumeration process as Mexican, Puerto
Rican, Cuban, Central or South American, or of other
Hispanic origin or descent. Hispanics may be of either
race; hence, they are included in the data for both the
white and the “black and other” population. Estimates
of sampling errors in this report for the Hispanic-origin
population are based upon those for the black and other
population. However, since the Hispanic population is
smaller, estimates for this group are likely to have a
wider error range. Therefore, caution should be exer­
cised in making comparisons using these data.
A more detailed description of the definitions used
in this survey appears in Concepts and Methods Used in
Labor Force Statistics Derived from the Current Popula­
tion Survey, BLS Report 463.

Appendix B. CPS Sampling
and Esfiimatfcn Proaedynss
and Sampling Error Tables

The estimates presented in sections I-III of this re­
port are based on annual averages of monthly data ob­
tained from the Current Population Survey (CPS)—a
sample survey of the civilian noninstitutional popula­
tion. 1The survey is conducted each month by the Bu­
reau of the Census for the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
and provides comprehensive data on the labor force,
the employed, and the unemployed, including such char­
acteristics as age, sex, race, marital status, and occupa­
tion. The survey also provides data on the characteris­
tics of those not in the labor force. The information is
collected by trained interviewers from a scientifically
selected sample designed to represent the civilian non­
institutional population. During 1980, over 71,000 oc­
cupied housing units were eligible for interview each
month; all but about 6,000 of these units were in the
national CPS sample. Respondents are interviewed to
obtain information about the employment status of each
household member 16 years of age and over for the
calendar week, Sunday through Saturday, which in­
cludes the 12th of the month. This is known as the sur­
vey week. Actual field interviewing is conducted in the

-.Sampling procedures

The sample design used for the CPS is based to a
large extent on the distribution of the population re­
ported in the most recent decennial census. The current
sample encompasses 629 sample areas comprising over
1,000 counties and cities, with coverage in every State
and the District of Columbia. These areas were selected
by dividing the entire area of the United States into
1,931 primary sampling units (PSU’s). With some mi­
nor exceptions, a PSU consists of a county or a num­
ber of contiguous counties. Each of the standard met'F or a technical description of the CPS sampling and estimation
procedures and variance estimation procedures, see Technical Paper
40, T he C u rre n t P o pulation S u rvey D esig n a n d M eth o d o lo g y, January
1978, published by the Bureau of the Census.




ropolitan statistical areas (SMSA’s) defined as of the
1970 Census constitutes a separate PSU.
To improve the efficiency of the sample, the 1,931
PSU’s were grouped into strata. PSU’s in strata by
themselves are self-representing (SR), and generally are
the most populated PSU’s in each State. Other strata
were formed by combining PSU’s which were similar
in such characteristics as geographic region, population
density and growth, proportion nonwhite, principal in­
dustry, number of farms, etc. PSU’s selected from these
strata are non-self-representing (NSR), since each rep­
resents the entire stratum.
Within each of the selected PSU’s, the number of
households to be enumerated each month is determined
in two steps. First, a sample of census enumeration dis­
tricts (ED’s) is selected. These are administrative units
designated in the 1970 Census and contain, on the av­
erage, about 300 households. Second, clusters of ap­
proximately four addresses to be enumerated within
each designated ED are selected. Whenever possible,
the four units are contiguous.
Part of the sample is changed, or rotated, each month.
A primary reason for rotating the sample is to avoid
the poor cooperation which may result from interview­
ing a constant panel indefinitely. Another reason for
replacing households is to reduce the cumulative effect
of response biases which are sometimes observed when
the same persons are interviewed indefinitely. The ro­
tation plan provides for three-fourths of the sample to
be identical from 1 month to the next and one-half to
be identical with the same month a year earlier.
Prior to the State and area sample supplementations
in 1976 and 1980, the sampling ratio, or probability of
selecting each household, was the same in each State,
approximately 1 in 1,500. The sampling ratio is auto­
matically modified over time so that the size of the
sample is held relatively constant despite the overall
growth of the population. In 1976, the samples in 23
small States and Washington, D.C. were supplemented
to improve the reliability of the estimates. In 1980, ad­
ditional households were added to the samples in se­
lected States and areas for this same purpose. This sup­
plementation affected the sampling ratios in these States.
Consequently, the probability of selecting a particular

population estimates in these categories.
The independent State controls for the civilian
noninstitutional population 16 years and over are an
arithmetic extrapolation of the trend in their growth
from the April 1, 1970, census count through the
latest available July 1 estimate, adjusted as a last step
to a current estimate of the U.S. population. A
description of the methodology used to derive the na­
tional age-sex-race estimates and State totals may be
obtained from the Chief of the Population Division,

household in the sample currently varies considerably
from State to State. (See section on reliability standards).
CPS estimating methods

Under the estimating methods used in the CPS, all
of the results for a given month become available si­
multaneously and are based on returns from the entire
panel of respondents. The CPS estimation procedure
involves the weighting up, or inflating, of the data from
each sample person to develop estimates for the entire
population from which the sample was drawn.
The basic weights, which are the inverse of the sam­
pling ratios, are adjusted to better reflect the entire
population, as described below.
1.

Noninterview adjustment. The weights for all inter­
viewed households are inflated to the extent needed to
account for occupied sample households for which no
information was obtained because of absence, impassable
roads, refusals, unavailability of the respondent, or other
reasons. The proportion of sample households not inter­
viewed generally varies from 4 to 5 percent, depending
on weather, vacations, etc.

Ratio estimates. The distribution of the population se­

Reliability of the (estimates

Since the estimates in this report are based upon a
sample of the population rather than a complete count,
they may differ from the figures that would have been
obtained if it had been possible to take a complete census
using the same schedules and procedures as are used in
the CPS. There are two types of errors in an estimate
based on a sample survey—sampling and nonsampling.
The sampling error tables in this report primarily indi­
cate the magnitude of the sampling error. They also
partially measure the effect of some nonsampling errors
in response and enumerations but do not measure any
systematic biases in data. In general, the error of a sam­
ple estimate varies inversely with the size of the sam­
ple and directly with the size of the estimate. Hence,
an estimate for a subgroup constituting a small propor­
tion of a population will tend to have a smaller abso­
lute fond larger relative) error than an estimate for a
subgroup constituting a large proportion of that same
population.

lected for the sample may differ somewhat, by chance,
from that of the population as a whole in such charac­
teristics as age, race, sex, and residence.
Since these characteristics are closely correlated with
labor force participation and other principal measure­
ments made from the sample, the latter estimates can be
substantially improved when weighted appropriately by
the known distribution of these population characteris­
tics. This is accomplished through two stages of ratio
estimation as follows:
a.

First-stage ratio estimate. As explained above, NSR
areas are chosen to represent not only themselves,
but also other unsampled areas. The first-stage ratio
adjustment procedure is designed to correct for the
differences that existed at the time of the 1970 Census
between the distribution of the population by race
and residence in the NSR sample areas and the
known distribution in the entire area represented by
each of these NSR areas. The procedure is performed
twice, once for the four census regions and then for
each of the 46 States which contain NSR areas.

b.

Second-stage ratio estimate. This stage is designed
to adjust the first-stage estimates for sample cover­
age of the population, and is conducted as follows.
First, the sample estimates are adjusted within each
State and the District of Columbia to an independ­
ent estimate of the population 16 years and over for
that State. The second step involves persons of black
and other races only and is an adjustment to inde­
pendent estimates of 48 age-sex-race categories for
the Nation as a whole. The third step, applied to all
sample persons, is used to adjust the State totals to
independent population estimates for 68 national
age-sex-race groups. When completed, this pro­
cedure insures that the sample population estimates,
both for the States and the national age-sex-race
categories, will be virtually equal to the independent




Composite estimate procedure. In deriving the final sta­
tistics for a given month, a composite estimating proce­
dure is used which takes account of net changes in the
sample results from the previous month for the continu­
ing households of the sample (75 percent), as well as the
sample results from all households for the current month.
Almost all estimates of month-to-month change are im­
proved by this procedure, and most estimates of levels
are also improved, but to a lesser extent.

Reliability standards

As previously mentioned, the proportion of the total
population sampled in the CPS differs among the States.
In general, the smaller the population, the larger the
sampling proportion. For example, in Vermont approxi­
mately 1 in every 200 households was sampled in 1980,
whereas in New York the sample covered about 1 in
every 1,500 households. Nevertheless, the size of the
sample in New York is larger than in Vermont because
the State CPS data are weighted to produce national
estimates, and because New York contains a much larger
proportion of the national population than Vermont.
Differences in the probability of selection of house­
holds in each area (i.e., sampling ratios) are necessary
114

to obtain total unemployment levels meeting a mini­
mum level of reliability—a maximum expected annual
coefficient of variation of 10 percent, at one standard
error, given a 6-percent unemployment rate. Before
CPS labor force data for a State or area can be used in
the Federal-State cooperative program, the size of the
sample for that area must be large enough to produce
estimates meeting that minimum standard of reliability.
(See section IV.)
Publication standards for State and area
CPS data

The publication of data based on a comparable mini­
mum standard of reliability for all areas, including
States, SMSA’s, and cities, requires unique standards
for minimum labor force, employment, and unemploy­
ment levels, based on the known differences in sam­
pling ratios among these areas. To ensure a minimum
standard of reliability, BLS requires that at least 30
sample cases be the basis for publication of data below
the State or area totals. As a result of these two re­
quirements, minimum bases for publication have been
developed for each State. Table B-l lists the minimum
necessary base for publication of data in each of the
States, the District of Columbia, and the metropolitan
areas and cities appearing in this report.
Estimates are not shown when they do not meet the
minimum base for the State or area listed in table B-l.
The determining factor for publication is the size of ei­
ther the denominator of the distribution or the un­
employment rate. In tables showing labor force status,
the size of the labor force of the particular group de­
termines whether data for that group are published. In
all other tables, the determining factor is the base or
total of the distribution—which equals 100 percent. Data
are not published for any cell with fewer than 500 per­
sons or less than 0.5 percent.
Using the sampling error tables
T h e sam p lin g e r r o r ta b les (tab les B-2 th r o u g h B-l 7)
can be used directly to develop 90-percent confidence
intervals for sample estimates. They indicate the order
of magnitude of the sampling error rather than the pre­
cise amount of the possible error in an estimate. (A
sampling error equals 1.645 times one standard error.)
Table B-2 shows that an estimate of 50,000 un­
employed persons (total or white) in Alabama will have
an absolute sampling error of 8,000, and a relative sam­
pling error of 16 percent, while an estimate of 100,000
unemployed persons in Alabama has an absolute sam­
pling error of 12,000 and a relative sampling error of
12 percent.
The statement that unemployment in Alabama is be­
tween 42,000 and 58,000 in the first instance, and be­
tween 88,000 and 112,000 in the second, is made with
90-percent confidence. If repeated samples were drawn
from the same population and a confidence interval




115

constructed around each sample estimate, in 9 out of
10 cases the true value based on a complete census of
the population would be contained within these error
ranges. Hence we can be 90-percent confident that the
interval constructed does, in fact, contain the true value.
To calculate a 68-percent confidence interval (2
chances out of 3), multiply the sampling error shown
by 0.6. To convert the sampling error to 95-percent
confidence (19 chances out of 20), multiply the sam­
pling error by 1.19. For the example given above, the
sampling error at 90-percent confidence was 8,000. At
68-percent confidence, the error would be about 4,800
(8,000 X 0.6 = 4,800). At 95-percent confidence, the
error would be about 9,500 (8,000 X 1.19 = 9,520).
To compute the error of a difference from the tables,
an additional step is required. If, for instance, one wishes
to know whether a change in the unemployment rate
from 1979 to 1980 in a particular area is statistically
significant, or whether the difference in the unemploy­
ment rate between two areas or population groups is
statistically meaningful, the significance of the differ­
ence needs to be computed.
To test for the significance of a difference, the follow­
ing formula should be used:

-J i
where:

T

E j = (E ]) + (E2) - C
E 1 = the sampling error of one group or year
E 2 - the sampling error of another group or year
C = the covariance (or relationship) term
between El and E2
Ed - the sampling error of the difference

The Ej and the E2 must be found in the appropriate
Geographic Profile for each year, since the size of the
samples and, consequently, sampling errors may differ
from year to year. Estimates for the “C” term for areas in
this report are not available. (If the relationship between
the two groups or years is small, the “C” term may be
ignored. If, however, there is a strong positive relation­
ship between the two groups, then the error computed
without the “C” term will be overstated.) An example
will show how this test is applied. Suppose one wished
to know whether a hypothetical change in the CPS un­
employment rate in Alaska from 10 percent to 8 per­
cent between 1979 and 1980 was significant. Assume that
the labor force was about 100,000 in both years. Table
B-8 in the 1979 Geographic Profile gives the error for a
10.0 percent unemployment rate as S.l 1, and table B-6
in this year’s Geographic Profile gives the error for an
8.0 percent unemployment rate as 1.07. Using the formu­
la described above, the following would result.
El = 1.11
(E1 )2 + (E2)2 = 2.377
V 2~377 = 1.54

E2 = 1.07

Assuming a negligible “C” term, the error of the dif­
ference is about 1.5. Since the actual change (2.0 percent)
exceeds the error of the difference, it can be stated, with
90-percent confidence, that the difference in rates is
attributable to factors other than sampling error alone.
To derive a sampling error for a given estimate, it may
be necessary to use interpolation or extrapolation. For
example, table B-2 contains no sampling error for an
estimate of 150,000 unemployed persons in Alabama.
The following formula shows how to interpolate for an
estimate of 150,000 in Alabama:

where:

Es = [[(S - G) (F - G)] x (X - Y)] + Y
F = published size immediately above the
size desired (200.000)
G = published size immediately below the
size desired (100.000)
S = size desired (150.000)
X = error of the F (16,000)
Y - error of G (12,000)
Es = error of S (14,000)

If the sample estimate lies outside the boundaries of




the error tables, extrapolation can be used to approxi­
mate the sampling error. The formula for extrapolation
is the same as that for interpolation; however, the “F”
term is the highest value in the table and the “G” term
becomes the next highest value.

Derivation of sampling errors

These State and area sampling errors are developed
using a generalized procedure and are not based on the
sample data for each individual area. As with all sam­
pling error tables produced for CPS State and area data,
a number of approximations were required in order
to derive sampling errors that would be applicable to
a wide variety of items. As a result, these sampling er­
rors provide an indication of the order of magnitude of
a sampling error rather than a precise sampling error
for any specific item.
The sampling error tables are derived from standard
error equations and special parameters developed by
the Bureau of the Census. These may be obtained from
the Bureau of Labor Statistics on request.

Appendix C. Geographic
Boundary Definitions for 30
Large Metropolitan Areas

This appendix lists the boundary definitions of 30
large metropolitan areas using the two methods by
which the areas are defined for statistical pur­
poses—Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas
(SMSA’s) and Labor Market Areas (LMA’s).
The Department of Labor has used LMA’s for a
number of years for various administrative and pro­
gram purposes. Designed to measure conditions of the
labor force within reasonable commuting distance of a
large central city (or cities), the boundaries for almost
all LMA’s are the same as those for SMSA’s as defined
by the Office of Federal Statistical Policy and Stand­
ards. SMSA boundaries are defined using a set of
uniform criteria, while LMA’s are defined jointly by the
State Employment Security Agencies and the Depart­
ment of Labor. Since many LMA’s were established
before they were designated as an SMSA, there are a
few areas where boundary differences reflect this initial
classification discrepancy.
An SMSA is defined as a county containing at least
one city with 50,000 inhabitants or more, or several,
economically and socially related contiguous counties
with at least one city of 25,000 inhabitants or more. In
the New England States, where SMSA’s are comprised
of cities and towns, the minimum population size is
75,000.




144

The boundaries of SMSA’s are occasionally revised.
The tables that follow compare the boundaries of 30
large SMSA’s in 1970 and 1973 (the current SMSA
boundaries) with the current LMA boundaries. With the
exception of Minneapolis-St. Paul and New York,
estimates in section III refer to SMSA’s, while those in
section IV refer to LMA’s.
Since 1973, the New York SMSA has consisted of the
five counties included in New York City, and Rockland,
Westchester, and Putnam Counties in New York State,
plus Bergen County, New Jersey. Before 1973, the New
York SMSA did not include Putnam or Bergen County.
On the other hand, the New York Labor Market (LMA)
has, for many years, included Putnam County, but ex­
cluded Bergen County. Bergen County had a labor force
of 484,000 in 1980, equal to approximately 12 percent of
the New York SMSA. However, Putnam County has a
labor force comprising less than 1 percent of the total.
Thus the current New York LMA is consistent with the
1970 SMSA definition. Data based on the SMSA defini­
tion are available upon request.
Estimates for the Minneapolis-St. Paul LMA as
published in this year’s report are not significantly dif­
ferent from those for the SMSA. Consequently, earlier
data based on the SMSA definition may be used in a
time series with the current LMA data.

Appendix D„ Pro c e d u re s fo r
Estimating Em p lo ym e nt and
Unemployment U nd er the
Federal-State Cooperatiw®
Program

using special surveys, national historical relationships,
and census data.

Estimating methods

Employment and unemployment estimates for the 10
largest States (California, New York, Texas, Illinois,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Florida, New Jersey, and
Massachusetts) and two areas (New York City and the
Los Angeles-Long Beach
) are taken directly from
the Current Population Survey ( ) . For a description
of
concepts, see the
periodical Employment and
Earnings, Explanatory Note A, “Household Data.”
Estimates for the remaining 40 States and the District
of Columbia are prepared by State employment security
agencies under standardized procedures developed by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics. The estimates are prepared in
several stages, as explained below.
Labor force and unemployment estimates for States,
Labor Market Areas (
’ ) , and other areas covered
under Federal assistance programs are developed by
State employment security agencies under a Federal-State
cooperative program. The local unemployment estimates
which are derived from standardized procedures devel­
oped by
are the basis for determining eligibility of an
area for benefits under Federal programs such as the
Comprehensive Employment and Training Act and the
Public Works and Economic Development Act.

Preliminary estimate—unemployment

In the current month, the estimate of unemployment is
an aggregate of the estimates for each of three categories:
(1) Persons who were previously employed in industries
covered by State ui laws; (2) those previously employed
in industries not covered by these laws; and (3) those
who were either entering the labor force for the first time
or reentering after a period of separation. This is referred
to below as the ui-based estimate.
An estimate for those previously employed in covered
industries is derived from a count of current unemploy­
ment insurance claimants, plus estimates of claimants
whose benefits have been exhausted, those persons dis­
qualified from receiving benefits for nonmonetary reasons
(because they quit, were discharged for cause, etc., but
would otherwise have been eligible), and persons who
either filed claims late or not at all.
The estimate of those previously employed in indus­
tries not covered by ui is derived by applying to the em­
ployment estimate for each noncovered industry or class
of worker subgroup in the State the ratio of covered un­
employment to covered employment, weighted by factors
reflecting national historical relationships.
For the third category, new entrants and reentrants
into the labor force, a composite estimate is developed
from equations that relate the total entrants into the
labor force to the experienced unemployed and the expe­
rienced labor force. For each month, the estimate of en­
trants into the labor force is a function of: (a) the month
of the year; (b) the level of the experienced unemployed;
(c) the level of the experienced labor force; and (d) the
proportion of the working-age population that is consid­
ered “youth.” The composite estimate of total entrants is
defined as:

Preliminary estimate—employment

The total employment estimate is based primarily on
data from the survey of establishments which produces
an estimate of payroll employment. This place-of-work
estimate must be adjusted to refer to place of residence
as used in the
. Factors for adjusting from place of
work to place of residence have been developed for the
major categories of employment by class of worker and
industry on the basis of employment relationships which
existed at the time of the 1970 Decennial Census. These
factors are applied to the payroll employment estimates
for the current period to obtain adjusted employment
estimates.
Estimates of employment for workers not covered by
the payroll survey, such as agricultural workers and selfemployed and unpaid family workers, are also developed
c p s




U = A(X+E) + BX, where
U = total entrant unemployment
E = total employment
X = total experienced unemployment

employment security agencies using ui-based estimating
procedures are adjusted, or benchmarked, by
to the
annual average
estimates for the 40 States for which
monthly
estimates are not available. This adjustment
is necessary because the State-prepared estimates are not
as reliable as the
annual averages due to differences
in State ui laws, the structural limitations of the ui-based
estimating method, and errors in the ui data.
The benchmarked estimates are produced in three
stages. First, the monthly ui-based estimates are adjusted
by the ratio of the
to the ui-based annual averages.
Second, the difference between the ratio of annual aver­
ages for two consecutive years is wedged into the monthly
estimates in order to minimize the disturbance to the
original series. Finally, the second-stage estimates are
forced into agreement with
annual averages. In the
10 States which use
estimates monthly, no bench­
mark correction is required, as the average of the 12
monthly State
estimates will equal the
annual
averages.
The
estimates in the 10 large States and two large
areas are adjusted each year to incorporate revised inde­
pendent population estimates provided by the Bureau of
the Census. These revised population estimates affect the
levels of employment and unemployment, but do not af­
fect the unemployment rates.
The estimates for
’ in section IV have been ad­
justed to conform to
annual averages estimates for
the States.

A, B = synthetic factors incorporating seasonal variations and
an assumed relationship between the proportion of youths in
the working population and the historical relationship of en­
trants to the experienced unemployed (B factor) or the expe­
rienced labor force (A factor)

Correction factors are then applied at the State level
to the ui-based estimates obtained above for each of the
40 States and District of Columbia. These correction fac­
tors are based on the ratio of the
to the ui-based
estimates for the 6-month period ending in the current
month (e.g., a 6-month moving average).

Sub-State adjustment for additivity

Independent estimates of employment and unemploy­
ment are prepared both for the State (obtained directly
from the
in 10 large States or by the ui-based method
in the remaining States), and labor market areas (
’ )
within the State. The total labor force included in the
’ exhausts the geographic boundaries of the State. A
proportional adjustment is applied to all sub-State
estimates to ensure that the sub-State estimates of em­
ployment and unemployment add to the independent
State totals. In California and New York, which also
have sub-State areas taken directly from the
, the ad­
ditivity adjustment for the remaining areas is applied to
the State total minus the direct
area.
