grams, result from the Federal-State Cooperative Pro­
gram. BLS is responsible for establishing the estimating
procedures; the State employment security agencies are
responsible for developing the estimates. For all States,
the District of Columbia, the Los Angeles Standard
Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA), and New York
City, the official annual average estimates are obtained
directly from the CPS. For the remaining metropolitan
areas and cities, the official annual average estimates
are derived using a standardized procedure. Data from
the CPS for metropolitan areas and cities in this bulle­
tin are not the official BLS estimates and are provided
because they are the only current source of information
on demographic and economic characteristics.
Data for two metropolitan areas, New York and Minneapolis-St. Paul, relate to the Labor Market Area
(LMA) rather than the Standard Metropolitan Statisti­
cal Area (SMSA) definition. For further information
on geographic areas, see appendix C.
This bulletin was prepared in the Division of Data
Development and Users’ Services in collaboration with
the Division of Local Area Unemployment Statistics.
Material in this publication is in the public domain
and, with appropriate credit, may be reproduced with­
out permission.

Data on labor force, employment, and unemployment
in State and sub-State areas are available from two ma­
jor sources—the Current Population Survey (CPS) and
the Federal-State Cooperative Program. This bulletin
presents data from the CPS for regions, States, and se­
lected large metropolitan areas and central cities. It
provides 1983 annual averages for the employed and
the unemployed by selected demographic and economic
characteristics based on population counts projected
from the 1980 decennial census.
Data for earlier years based on the 1970 decennial
census were published in the following reports: Geo­
graphic Profile of Employment and Unemployment, 1979
(Report 619) and 1980 (Bulletin 2111). Data for 1980
and 1981 based on the 1980 decennial census were pub­
lished in Geographic Profile o f Employment and Un­
employment, 1981 (Bulletin 2156). Bulletin 2156 also
provided instructions for revising earlier data to reflect
the 1980 decennial census population counts. Data for
1982 were published in Geographic Profile o f Employ­
ment and Unemployment, 1982 (Bulletin 2170).
The official Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) esti­
mates for States, metropolitan areas, and central cities,
which are the basis for determining the eligibility of an
area for benefits under Federal economic assistance pro­

Geographic Profile
of Employment and
Unemployment, 1983

The Current Population Survey (CPS) is the regular
monthly survey of about 60,000 households from which
the national unemployment rate is derived. (See appen­
dix A for definitions and concepts in the CPS, and ap­
pendix B for a description of estimation procedures.)
Annual average estimates of the labor force by demo­
graphic characteristics (age, sex, and race) and the eco­
nomic characteristics of the employed and unemployed
are published in this bulletin only if they meet the BLS
standard of reliability for publication. (See appendix B
for an explanation of the BLS standard for publication

of CPS data.) Estimates for the regions and divisions
are shown in section I; States are shown in section II;
and metropolitan areas and cities are in section III.
Since these estimates are based on a survey rather
than on a complete census of the population, they are
subject to sampling error. Consequently, error ranges
have been provided, at a 90-percent confidence inter­
val, for the unemployment rates in the first table of sec­
tions I, II, and III. In addition, appendix B provides
tables from which the sampling error ranges can be ob­
tained for the data in other tables in these sections.

1 Error ranges are calculated at the 90-percent confidence interval,
which means that if repeated samples were drawn from the same popula­
tion 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 Because of separate processing and weighting procedures, totals for
the United States differ from the results obtained by aggregating the totals
for regions and States.
3 “Other marital status” includes divorced, widowed, separated, and mar­

ried with spouse absent.
NOTE: Data for demographic groups are not shown when they do not
meet BLS publication standards of reliability for the particular area based on
the sample in that area. See appendix B. Items may not add to totals or
compute to displayed percentages because of rounding. Detail for the
above race and Hispanic-origin groups will not add to totals because data
for the "other races” group are not presented and Hispanics are included in
both the white and black population groups.

1 Employed persons with a job but not at work are distributed proportionately
among the full- and part-time employed categories.
2 Data are not shown when the labor force base does not meet BLS publica­
tion standards of reliability for the particular area, based on the sample in that
area. See appendix B.

NOTE: Items may not add to totals or compute to displayed rates because of
rounding. Detail for the above race and Hispanic-ongin groups will not add to to­
tals because data for the “other races" group are not presented and Hispanics
are included in both the white and black population groups.

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

ages because of rounding. Detail for the above race and Hispanic-origin groups will
not add to totals because data for the “ other races” group are not presented and
Hispanics are included in both the white and black population groups.

publication standards of reliability for the particular area based on the sample in that
area. See appendix B. Items may not add to totals or compute to displayed percent­
ages because of rounding. Detail for the above race and Hispanic-origin groups will
not add to totals because data for the “ other races” group are not presented and Hispanics are included in both the white and black population groups.

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 “ Other marital status” includes divorced, widowed, separated, and married with
spouse absent.

NOTE: Items may not add to totals or compute to displayed rates because of
rounding. Detail for the above race and Hispanic-origin groups will not add to totals
because data for the "other races” group are not presented and Hispanics are in­

Hispanic origin

1 Refers to persons who worked 35 hours or more during the survey week.
2 Less than 500 persons or less than 0.05 percent.
NOTE: Data for demographic groups are not shown when they do not meet BLS
publication standards of reliability for the particular area based on the sample in that

area. See appendix B. Items may not add to totals or compute to displayed percent­
ages because of rounding. Detail for the above race and Hispanic-origin groups will
not add to totals because data for the “ other races” group are not presented and Hispanics are included in both the white and black population groups.

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 er­
ror ranges.

spouse absent.

differences are discussed in appendix C, “ Geographic Boundary Definitions” .
NOTE: Data for demographic groups are not shown when they do not meet BLS
publication standards of reliability for the particular area based on the sample in that
area. See appendix B. Items may not add to totals or compute to displayed per­
centages because of rounding. Detail for the above race and Hispanic-origin
groups will not add to totals because data for the “ other races” group are not pre­
sented and Hispanics are included in both the white and black population groups.

NOTE: Data for demographic groups are not shown when they do not meet BLS
publication standards of reliability for the particular area based on the sample in that
area. See appendix B. Items may not add to totals or compute to displayed percent­
ages because of rounding. Detail for the above race and Hispanic-origin groups will
not add to totals because data for the “ other races” group are not presented and Hispanics are included in both the white and black population groups.

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

Tables showing labor force status include provisional
estimates of the civilian noninstitutional population 16
years and over as well as data on the civilian labor force,
unemployment rates, and labor force participation
rates. Population estimates are revised by the Bureau of
the Census each year, and the revised estimates are in­
corporated into the c p s labor force levels. This adjust­
ment affects the estimates of labor force, employment,
and unemployment but does not affect percentages such
as unemployment rates, participation rates, or
employment-population ratios.
The civilian labor force comprises all civilians
classified as employed or unemployed in accordance
with the criteria described below.
The employed 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 unpaid
workers in an enterprise operated by a family member.
Persons temporarily absent from a job because of ill­
ness, bad weather, a strike, or for personal reasons are
also counted as employed whether they were paid by
their employer or were seeking other jobs.
The unemployed 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 have been continuous­
ly 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 period 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.
Duration of unemployment measures the length of a
spell of unemployment currently in progress. Hence it
should not be confused with a completed spell of
unemployment.

Reasons fo r unemployment are divided into four ma­
jor groups:
(1) Job losers—persons whose employment ended in­
voluntarily and 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 en­
trants—persons who never worked at a full-time job
lasting 2 weeks or longer.
The unemployment rate fo r all civilian workers
represents the number unemployed as a percent of the
civilian labor force.
The civilian labor force participation rate is the ratio
of the civilian labor force to the civilian noninstitutional
population.
The civilian employment-population ratio is the
percentage of all employed civilians in the civilian
noninstitutional population.
Hours o f 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
reported as working 32 hours even though they were
paid for the joliday. For persons working in more
than one job, the figures relate to the number
of hours worked in all jobs during the survey week with
all hours credited to the major job.
The distribution of employment by hours worked
relates to persons “ at work” during the survey week.
At-work data differ from data on total employment
because the latter include persons in the zero-hoursworked category, “ with a job but not at work.” Includ­
ed 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.
Persons who worked 35 hours or more in the survey
week are designated as working fu ll time; corre­
spondingly, persons who worked between 1 and 34

118

hours are designated as working part time. Part-time
workers are classified by their usual status at their pre­
sent job (either full- or part-time) and by their reason
for working part time during the survey week (economic
or other reasons). “ Economic reasons” include: Slack
work, material shortages, repairs to plant or equipment,
start or termination of job during the week, and inabili­
ty to find full-time work. Other reasons include: Labor
dispute, bad weather, own illness, vacation, demands of
home, housework, school, no desire for full-time work,
and full-time worker only during the peak season. Per­
sons on full-time schedules include, in addition to those
working 35 hours or more, those who worked from 1 to
34 hours for noneconomic reasons and usually work full
time.
The full-time labor force consists of persons working
on full-time schedules, persons involuntarily working
part time (part time for economic reasons), and
unemployed persons seeking full-time jobs. The parttime labor force consists of persons working part time
voluntarily and unemployed persons seeking part-time
work. Persons with a job but not at work during the
survey week are classified according to whether they
usually work full or part time.
Occupational and industry 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.
Beginning with 1983 data, all occupational and industry
data presented in this bulletin are coded according to the
classification systems used in the 1980 census, rather

than the 1970 census systems used through 1982. While
this conversion had little effect on industry-related data,
the new occupational categories are so radically dif­
ferent that their implementation represents a break in
historical data series. Additional information on the
1980 census occupational and industrial classification
systems appears in “ Revisions in the Current Popula­
tion Survey Beginning in January 1983” in the February
1983 issue of Employment and Earnings.
Race and Hispanic origin. Beginning with 1981 an­
nual averages, Geographic Profile presents racial data
for white and black workers. Before 1981, racial data
were published for white and “ black and other”
workers. The “ other” category consists primarily of
American Indians, Alaskan Natives, and Asians and
Pacific Islanders. Hhpanic origin refers to persons who
identified themselves in the enumeration process as
Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South
American, or of other Hispanic origin or descent,
regardless of race. Estimates of sampling errors in this
report for the Hispanic population are based upon those
for the “ black and other” population. However, since
the Hispanic population is smaller, the computed
sampling errors may tend to be underestimates of the
true sampling error. 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
Population Survey ( bls Report 463) and the Ex­
planatory Notes of the b l s monthly publication

Appendix B.
Sampling and Estimation
Procedures and Sampling
Error Tables

The estimates presented in this bulletin are based on
annual averages of monthly data obtained from the
CPS—a sample survey of the civilian noninstitutional
population.1 The survey is conducted each month by
the Bureau of the Census for BLS, and provides com­
prehensive data on the labor force, the employed, and
the unemployed, including such characteristics as age,
sex, race, marital status, occupation, and industry. The
survey also provides data on the characteristics of those
not in the labor force. The information is collected by
trained interviewers from a scientifically selected sam­
ple designed to represent the civilian noninstitutional
population. Each month, over 60,000 occupied housing
units are eligible for interview. Respondents are ques­
tioned 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 includes the 12th of the month. This is known
as the survey week. Actual field interviewing is con­
ducted during the week which includes the 19th of the
month.
Inmates of institutions, members of the Armed Forces,
and persons under 14 years of age are not covered in
the regular monthly enumerations; data on members of
the Armed Forces and persons under 16 are excluded
from the population and labor force statistics shown in
this bulletin.
Sampling procedures

The current sample encompasses 629 sample areas
comprising over 1,000 counties and cities, with cover­
age in every State and the District of Columbia, and is
based to a large extent on information about the distri­
bution of the population as reported in the 1970 decen­
nial census. These areas were selected by dividing the
entire area of the United States into 1,931 primary sam­
pling units (PSU’s). With some minor exceptions, a PSU
consists of a county or number of contiguous counties.
'F o r a technical description of the CPS sampling and estimation
procedures and variance estimation procedures, see Technical Paper
40, The Current Population Survey, Design and Methodology (Bureau
of the Census, January 1978).

Each of the SMSA’s defined as of the 1970 census con­
stitutes a separate PSU.
To improve the efficiency of the sample, the 1,931
PSU’s were grouped into strata. Then, either 1 or 2
PSU’s were selected from each stratum, with the proba­
bility of selection proportionate to the population size
(PPS) in the PSU. PSU’s in strata by themselves are
self-representing (SR), and generally are the most popu­
lated PSU’s in each State. Other strata were formed by
combining PSU’s which were similar in such charac­
teristics as population density and growth, proportion
of nonwhites, principal industry, and number of farms.
PSU’s selected from these strata are non-self-represent­
ing (NSR), since each one chosen represents 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 using PPS. ED’s are adminis­
trative units and contain, on the average, about 300
households. Second, clusters of approximately four ad­
dresses 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
cooperation problems 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 one month to the next and one-half
to be identical with the same month a year earlier.
Estimating methods

Under the estimating methods used, all of the results
for a given month become available simultaneously and
are based on returns from the entire panel of respond­
ents. The 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.

2.

Noninterview adjustment. The weights for all inter­
viewed households are inflated to account for occupied
sample households for which no information was ob­
tained because o f impassable roads, refusals, unavailabil­
ity of the respondent, or other reasons. The proportion
o f sample households not interviewed generally varies
from 4 to 5 percent.

3.

Ratio estimates. The distribution o f the population as
estimated by the sample may differ somewhat each month,
by chance, from that of the population as a whole in
such characteristics as age, race, sex, and residence. Since
these characteristics are closely correlated with labor
force participation and other principal measurements
made from the sample, the latter estimates can be sub­
stantially improved when adjusted appropriately to con­
form to the known distribution o f these population char­
acteristics. This is accomplished through two stages of
ratio estimation as follows:
a.

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 enumeration, but do not measure any
systematic biases in data.
In general, the error of a sample estimate varies
inversely with the size of the sample and directly with
the size of the estimate. Hence, an estimate for a sub­
group constituting a small proportion of a population
will tend to have a smaller absolute (and larger rela­
tive) error than an estimate for a subgroup constituting
a large proportion of that same population.

First-stage ratio estimate. As explained above, NSR
PSU’s 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 o f the 1980 census
between the distribution o f the population by race and
residence in the NSR sample areas and the correspond­
ing distribution in the entire geographic area from
which the NSR areas were selected. The procedure is
performed twice, once at the regional level for the 4
Census regions and then for each o f the 46 States which
contain NSR areas. The first-stage adjustment factors
are derived using the NSR PSU’s in the sample, and
hence, are recomputed only when a new PSU is ro­
tated into the sample.

b.

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

Second-stage ratio estimate. This stage is designed to
adjust the inflated first-stage estimates to conform to
the most recent estimate of the entire U.S. population,
and is conducted in two steps. In the first step, the
sample estimates for all age-sex-race groups within
each State and the District o f Columbia are prorated
to a monthly independent estimate of the population
16 years and over for that State. The second step is
applied to a specific age-sex-race group for sample per­
sons across all States and is a weighting o f estimates
from the first step to a nationwide independent esti­
mate o f the civilian noninstitutional population for each
of 68 age-sex-race groups. Beginning with the 1981
annual averages, the race groups used in this step have
been changed from white/nonwhite to black/nonblack.
(See appendix A.)

Reliability standards

Since the CPS is designed to produce both national
and State estimates, the proportion of the total popula­
tion sampled, and hence, the sampling ratios differ
among the States. In general, the smaller the popula­
tion of the State, the larger the sampling proportion.
For example, in Vermont approximately 1 in every 300
households was sampled each month in 1983, whereas
in New York the sample covered about 1 in every 1,600
households. Nevertheless, the size of the sample in New
York is 4 times larger than in Vermont because New
York has a larger percentage of the national population.
Prior to 1976, the sampling ratio for each household
was the same in each State, approximately 1 in 1,500.
Since then, the samples have been augmented in many
of the smaller States to improve the reliability of the
CPS data. This augmentation has affected the sampling
ratios in these States, so now the probability of select­
ing a particular household varies considerably from
State to State.

T h e entire second-stage ratio estim ation procedure is
iterated six tim es, and w hen com pleted, insures that
the adjusted sam ple p o pu latio n estim ates, both fo r the
States and the n atio n al age-sex-race categories, w ill be
v irtu a lly equal to the independent p o pu latio n estim ates
fo r these categories.
T h e m o n th ly independent State controls fo r the
civ ilia n n o n in stitu tio n al po pulation 16 years and over
are based on an arith m etic extrapolation o f the trend
in th eir grow th from the A p ril 1, 1980, census count

121

Differences in the probability of selecting each house­
hold in each State are necessary to obtain total un­
employment levels meeting a minimum level of relia­
bility—a maximum expected annual coefficient of varia­
tion of 10 percent, at one standard error, given a 6 per­
cent unemployment rate. Before CPS labor force data
for a State or area can be used as the official estimates
in the Federal-State cooperative program, the size of
the sample for that area must be large enough to pro­
duce estimates meeting that minimum standard of
reliability.
Publication standards for State and area
CPS data

In order to achieve comparability of the data for re­
gions, divisions, States, SMSA’s, and cities for publica­
tion purposes, a unique requirement for minimum labor
force, employment, and unemployment had to be de­
veloped for each area. This requirement is based on the
known differences in sampling ratios among these areas.
Before estimates are published for a specific category,
a predetermined “critical cell” must contain at least 30
sample cases. In addition, estimates are not published
when they do not meet the comparable minimum pub­
lication standard for national CPS data. As a result of
these two requirements, minimum bases for publication
have been developed for each area. Table B-l lists the
minimum necessary base for publication of data in each
of the regions, divisions, States, the District of Colum­
bia, and the metropolitan areas and cities appearing in
this bulletin.
Estimates are not shown when they do not meet the
minimum base for the State or area listed in table B-l.
In tables showing the labor force status of the popula­
tion, the critical cell is the size of the labor force of the
particular population group. In all other tables, the de­
termining factor or critical cell is the size of the base
of the distribution—i.e., the size of total employment
or unemployment for that area or population subgroup.
Data are not published for any cell with fewer than 500
persons or less than 0.5 percent.
Using the sampling error tables

The sampling error tables (tables B-2 through B-25)
can be used directly to develop 90-percent confidence
intervals for sample estimates. (A sampling error equals
1.645 times one standard error.) They indicate the or­
der of magnitude of the sampling error rather than the
precise amount of the possible error in an estimate.
Table B-10 shows that an estimate of 50,000 un­
employed persons (total or white) in Alabama will have
an absolute sampling error of 9,000, and a relative sam­
pling error of 18 percent, while an estimate of 100,000
unemployed persons in Alabama has an absolute sam­
pling error of 13,000 and a relative sampling error of
13 percent.

The statement that unemployment in Alabama is be­
tween 41,000 and 59,000 in the first instance, and be­
tween 87,000 and 113,000 in the second, is made with
90-percent confidence. If repeated samples were drawn
from the same population and a confidence interval
(based on the sample estimate plus and minus the sam­
pling error) were constructed for each sample estimate,
the true value based on a complete census of the popu­
lation would be contained within 90 percent of these
intervals. 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 (two
chances out of three), 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 9,000. At
68-percent confidence, the error would be about 5,400
(9,000 X 0.6 = 5,400). At 95-percent confidence, the
error would be about 10,700 (9,000 X 1.19 = 10,710).
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 1982 to 1983 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 fol­
lowing formula should be used:
Ed= \ Z e ,2 + e 22 - c
where: Ej = the sampling error of one group or year
E, = The sampling error of another group or
year
C = the covariance (or relationship) term be­
tween Ej and E^
Ed = the sampling error of the difference
The E! 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 be­
tween the two groups or years is small, the “C” term
may be ignored. If, however, there is a strong positive
relationship between the two groups, then the error
computed without the “C” term will be overstated.)
An example will show how this significance test is ap­
plied. Suppose one wished to know whether a hypo­
thetical change in the CPS unemployment rate in Alaska
from 10.0 percent in 1979 to 8.0 percent in 1983 is sig­
nificant. Assume that the labor force was about 100,000
in both years. Table B-8 in the 1979 Geographic Profile
122

G = published size immediately below the size
desired (100,000)
S =size desired (150,000)
X = error of the F (18,000)
Y = error of G (13,000)
Es = error of S (15,500)

gives the error for a 10.0-percent unemployment rate as
1.11, and table B-14 in this year’s Geographic Profile
gives the error for an 8.0-percent unemployment rate as
1.40. Using the formula described above, the following
would result:
E, = 1.11

E2 = 1.40

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.

E,2 + E22 = 3.1921
\J z .\9 2 \

= 1.79

Assuming a negligible “C” term, the error of the dif­
ference is about 1.8. Since the actual change (2.0 per­
cent) 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-10 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:

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 pa­
rameters developed by the Bureau of the Census. These
may be obtained from BLS on request.

Es = [[(S - G) / (F - G)] x (X - Y)1 + Y
F = published size immediately above the size
desired (200,000)

Appendix C. Geographic
Boundary Definitions

East South Central
Kentucky
Tennessee
Alabama
Mississippi

This appendix lists the States composing the Census
divisions and regions. It also provides the geographic
definitions of Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas
(SMSA’s) and Labor Market Areas (LMA’s).
The Census regions and divisions and the States they
comprise are:

West South Central
Arkansas
Louisiana
Oklahoma
Texas

Northeast
New England
Maine
New Hampshire
Vermont
Massachusetts
Rhode Island
Connecticut

West

Montana
Wyoming
Colorado

Kansas
Minnesota
North Dakota
South Dakota

The Department of Labor has used LMA’s for a
number of years for various administrative and pro­
grammatic purposes. The boundaries for almost all
LMA’s are the same as those for SMSA’s, as established
by the Office of Management and Budget. SMSA
boundaries are defined using a specific set of criteria
developed for that purpose. LMA’s are determined by
the State employment security agencies, using rules es­
tablished by the Department 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.
In general, an SMSA is defined as a county contain­
ing 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

South
South Atlantic
Delaware
Maryland
District of Columbia
Virginia
West Virginia
North Carolina
South Carolina
Georgia
Florida
152

composed of cities and towns, the minimum population
size is 75,000.
The boundaries of SMSA’s are occasionally revised.
The table that follows compares 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.
