mated undercount, are not generally available for geographic
areas below the State level. The CPS metropolitan area
and city estimates may differ from the official estimates
produced by the individual States through the LAUS program. CPS estimates are provided herein because they are
the only current source of information on demographic and
economic characteristics for these areas. Official 1998 annual average LAUS estimates for metropolitan areas appeared
in the May 1999 issue of Employment and Earnings. Official LAUS estimates for metropolitan areas and cities were
published in the report, Supplement to Unemployment in
States and Local Areas, 1998 and on the BLS website. Geographic definitions for metropolitan areas in this publication
reflect those issued by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) on June 30, 1993. (See appendix C.)
Some rates and ratios in this pubication were calculated
on rounded data, but all unemployment rates were calculated
on unrounded data.
This bulletin was prepared in the Office of Employment
and Unemployment Statistics by the Division of Local Area
Unemployment Statistics in collaboration with Division of
Data Development and Publications. Editorial assistance was
provided by the Data Users and Publication Services Group.
Information in this bulletin is available to sensory impaired
individuals upon request. Voice phone: 202-606-7828; Federal Relay Service: 1-800-877-8339. This material is in the
public domain and, with appropriate credit, may be reproduced without permission.

nnual data on the labor force, employment, and unemployment in States and sub-State areas are available from
two major sources—the Current Population Survey (CPS) and
the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program.
The CPS is a sample survey of about 50,000 households conducted by the Bureau of the Census for the Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS). The LAUS program is a Federal-State cooperative endeavor, in which State employment security agencies prepare estimates using concepts, definitions, and estimation procedures prescribed by BLS.
This bulletin presents 1998 annual averages from the CPS
for census regions and divisions, the 50 States and the District of Columbia, 50 large metropolitan areas, and 17 central
cities. Data are provided on the employed and unemployed
by selected demographic and economic characteristics.
Tables 1-11 present 1998 annual average labor force estimates for census regions and divisions. Similar information
for all States and the District of Columbia appears in tables
12-22. All these data incorporate updated 1990 census-based
population controls, adjusted for the estimated undercount.
The LAUS program uses the total CPS estimates for States
and the District of Columbia as the official annual average
labor force statistics.
Tables 23-27 display 1998 annual average rates, ratios,
and percent distributions from the CPS for 50 large metropolitan areas and 17 central cities. Levels for the various
labor force categories are not presented because independent
1990 census-based population controls, adjusted for the esti-

Geographic Profile of Employment
and Unemployment, 1998

T

he Current Population Survey (CPS) is the regular
monthly survey of about 50,000 households from which
the national unemployment rate is derived. (See appendix A
for concepts and definitions used in the CPS and appendix B
for a description of the estimation procedure.)
Determination of which annual average estimates of the
labor force by demographic characteristics (age, sex, race,
and Hispanic origin) and economic characteristics of the
employed and unemployed are published in this bulletin is
explained in appendix B. Table B-1 lists the minimum bases
required for publication for various geographic areas.
Estimates for census regions and divisions are shown in
section I; data for States are shown in section II, and limited
data for metropolitan areas and cities are shown in section
III. Estimates of levels are not provided in section III be-

cause population controls needed to make estimates of levels
comparable to those in the other sections of this publication
are not available.
Because the 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 calculated,
in the form of 90-percent confidence intervals, and displayed
for the unemployment rates in the first table of sections I, 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 sections I and II. Separate error tables are not provided for each population group (i.e., total, white, black, or
Hispanic). Instead, one table is used for all population groups
for a given labor force characteristic, because differences in
sampling errors are usually minimal.

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 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 Error ranges cannot be properly computed when the number of sample
cases is very small and/or the unemployment rate is low.

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 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. Sub-national data on marital status are not available.
Data in tables 1-22 incorporate updated 1990 census-based population
controls.

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 because of

rounding. Detail for race and Hispanic-origin groups will not add to totals
because data for the "other races" group are not presented and Hispanics are

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 because of

rounding. Detail for race and Hispanic-origin groups will not add to totals
because data for the "other races" group are not presented and Hispanics are

Wyoming

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 Less than 500 persons.
3 Error ranges cannot be properly computed when the number of sample cases
is very small and/or the unemployment rate is low.

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 because of rounding.
Detail for 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. Data in tables 1-22 incorporate updated 1990
census-based population controls.

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.

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 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.

Section lll. Estimates for Metropolitan
Areas and Cities

Labor force, employment, and unemployment levels from the
CPS for metropolitan areas and cities usually shown in tables
23-27 are not provided because updated population controls are
not available. As a consequence, only rates, ratios, and percent
distributions are published and the usual table formats and sequence have been altered. Unemployment rates shown in table
23 may differ from the estimates produced through the LAUS
program.

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.

Concepts and Definitions
for Data Derived from the
Current Population Survey

T

ables 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, labor
force participation rates, and unemployment rates. Population estimates are revised by the Bureau of the Census each
year, and the revised estimates are incorporated into the CPS
labor force levels. This adjustment affects the estimates of
labor force, employment, and unemployment but does not
affect percentages such as unemployment rates, participation
rates, or employment-population ratios. Thus, levels contained in this publication may not be comparable to levels
published in earlier (or subsequent) Geographic Profiles.
The concepts and definitions underlying labor force data
in use as of January 1994 are as follows:

as unemployed had been looking for work. For persons on
layoff, duration of unemployment represents the number of
full weeks they had been on layoff.
Reason for unemployment. Unemployment is also categorized according to the status of individuals at the time they
began to look for work. The reasons for unemployment are
divided into five major groups: (1) Job losers, comprised of
(a) persons on temporary layoff, who have been given a date
to return to work or who expect to return within 6 months
(persons on layoff need not be looking for work to qualify as
unemployed), and (b) permanent job losers, whose employment ended involuntarily and who began looking for work;
(2) Job leavers, persons who quit or otherwise terminated
their employment voluntarily and immediately began looking for work; (3) Persons who completed temporary jobs (included along with job losers in this publication), who began
looking for work after the jobs ended; (4) Reentrants, persons who previously worked but were out of the labor force
prior to beginning their job search; and (5) New entrants,
persons who never worked.

Civilian noninstitutional population. Included are persons
16 years of age and older residing in the 50 States and the
District of Columbia who are not inmates of institutions (e.g.,
penal and mental facilities, homes for the aged) and who are
not on active duty in the Armed Forces.
Employed persons. All persons who, during the reference
week, (a) did any work at all (at least 1 hour) as paid employees, worked in their own business or profession or on their
own farm, or worked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers in
an enterprise operated by a member of the family, and (b)
were not working but had jobs or businesses from which they
were temporarily absent because of vacation, illness, bad
weather, child-care problems, maternity or paternity leave,
labor-management dispute, job training, or other family or
personal reasons, whether or not they were paid for the time
off or were seeking other jobs.

Labor force. This group comprises all persons classified as
employed or unemployed in accordance with the criteria described above.
Unemployment rate. The unemployment rate represents the
number unemployed as a percent of the labor force.
Participation rate. This represents the proportion of the population that is in the labor force.
Employment-population ratio. This represents the proportion of the population that is employed.

Unemployed persons. All persons who had no employment
during the reference week, were available for work, except
for temporary illness, and had made specific efforts to find
employment some time during the 4 week period ending with
the reference week. Persons who were waiting to be recalled
to a job from which they had been laid off need not have been
looking for work to be classified as unemployed.

Occupation and industry. This information for the employed
applies to the job held in the reference week. Persons with
two or more jobs are classified in the job at which they worked
the greatest number of hours. The unemployed are classified
according to their last job. The occupational and industrial
classification of CPS data is based on the coding systems used
in the 1990 census.

Duration of unemployment. This represents the length of time
(through the current reference week) that persons classified

137

Hours of work. These statistics relate to the actual number of
hours worked during the reference week. For example, persons who normally work 40 hours a week but were off on the
Columbus Day holiday would be reported as working 32
hours, even though they were paid for the holiday. For persons working in more than one job, the figures relate to the
number of hours worked in all jobs during the week; all the
hours are credited to the major job.

therefore classified in the zero-hours-worked category, “with
a job but not at work.” These are persons who were absent
from their jobs for the entire week for such reasons as bad
weather, child-care problems, maternity or paternity leave,
vacation, illness, or involvement in a labor dispute. In order
to differentiate a person’s normal schedule from their activity
during the reference week, persons are also classified according to their usual full- or part-time status. In this context,
full-time workers are those who usually worked 35 hours or
more (at all jobs combined). This group will include some
individuals who worked less than 35 hours in the reference
week for either economic or noneconomic reasons and those
who are temporarily absent from work. Similarly, part-time
workers are those who usually work less than 35 hours per
week (at all jobs), regardless of the number of hours worked
in the reference week. This may include some individuals
who actually worked more than 34 hours in the reference week,
as well as those who are temporarily absent from work.

At work part time for economic reasons. Sometimes referred
to as involuntary part time, this category refers to individuals
who gave an economic reason for working 1 to 34 hours during the reference week. Economic reasons include slack work
or unfavorable business conditions, inability to find full-time
work, and seasonal declines in demand. Those who usually
work part time must also indicate that they want and are available to work full time to be classified as on part time for economic reasons.
At work part time for noneconomic reasons. This group includes those persons who usually work part time and were at
work 1 to 34 hours during the reference week for a noneconomic reason. Noneconomic reasons include, for example:
Illness or other medical limitations, child-care problems or
other family or personal obligations, school or training, retirement or Social Security limits on earnings, and being in a
job where full-time work is less than 35 hours. The group
also includes those who gave an economic reason for usually
working 1 to 34 hours but said they do not want to work full
time or were unavailable for such work.

White, black, and other. These are terms used to describe the
race of persons. Included in the “other” group are American
Indians, Alaskan Natives, and Asians and Pacific Islanders.
Because of the relatively small sample size in most areas,
data for “other” races are not published. In the enumeration
process, race is determined by the household respondent.
Hispanic origin. This refers to persons who identified themselves in the survey enumeration process as Mexican, Puerto
Rican, Cuban, Central or South American, or of other Hispanic origin or descent. Persons of Hispanic origin may be
of any race; thus, they are included in both the white and
black population groups.

Usual full- or part-time status. Data on persons “at work”
exclude persons who were temporarily absent from a job and

Sampling and Estimation
Procedures and Sampling

T

he 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. The
survey is conducted each month by the Bureau of the Census
for BLS, and provides comprehensive data on the labor force,
employed, and unemployed, including such characteristics as
age, sex, race, Hispanic origin, occupation, and industry. The
survey also provides data on the characteristics of those not
in the labor force.
Each month, trained interviewers collect information from
a scientifically-selected sample (about 50,000 occupied housing units), designed to represent the civilian noninstitutional
population. Selected respondents are interviewed to obtain
information about the employment status of each household
member 16 years of age and over. The “reference week” is
the calendar week (Sunday through Saturday) which includes
the 12th of the month. Actual field interviewing is conducted
during the following week, which is known as the “survey”
week.

Within each of the selected PSUs, the number of households to be enumerated each month is determined in two steps.
First, a sample of census enumeration districts (EDs) is selected using the population size probability selection procedure. EDs are administrative units and contain, on average,
about 300 households. Second, clusters of approximately four
addresses (contiguous wherever possible) are selected to be
enumerated within each designated ED.
Part of the sample is changed, or rotated, each month.
A given rotation group is in the sample for 4 consecutive
months, leaves the sample during the following 8 months,
and then returns for another 4 consecutive months. A primary reason for rotating the sample is to minimize the lack of
cooperation which may result from interviewing a constant
panel indefinitely. The rotation 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 in the CPS, all of the results for a given month become available simultaneously and
are based on returns from the entire sample of respondents.
The estimation procedure involves weighting the data from
each sample person by the inverse of the probability of the
person being in the sample. This gives a rough measure of
the number of actual persons that each sample person represents. Through a series of estimation steps (outlined below),
the selection probabilities are adjusted for noninterviews and
survey undercoverage; data from previous months are incorporated into the estimates through the composite estimation
procedure.

Sampling procedures
The 1998 sample encompasses 754 sample areas, with coverage in every State and the District of Columbia. It is based
to a large extent on information about the distribution of the
population as reported in the 1990 decennial census. (A redesigned 1990 census-based sample was phased in during
the April 1994 through July 1995 period.) These areas were
selected by dividing the entire area of the United States into
2,007 primary sampling units (PSUs). With some minor exceptions, a PSU consists of a county or number of contiguous
counties. Most metropolitan areas constitute separate PSUs.
To improve the efficiency of the sample, the 2,007 PSUs
are grouped into strata within each State. Then, one PSU is
selected from each stratum, with the probability of selection
proportionate to the relative population size of the PSU. PSUs
in strata by themselves are called “self-representing” and are
generally the most populous in each State. Other strata are
formed by combining PSUs that are similar in such characteristics as population growth, proportion of blacks and Hispanics, occupation/industry, and age/sex distribution. PSUs
selected from these strata are “non-self-representing,” since
each one chosen represents the entire stratum.

1. Noninterview adjustment. The weights for all interviewed
households are adjusted to the extent needed to account for
occupied sample households for which no information was
obtained because of absence, impassable roads, refusals, or
unavailability of the respondents for other reasons. This
noninterview adjustment is made separately for clusters of
similar sample areas that are usually, but not necessarily, contained within a State. Similarity of sample areas is based on
metropolitan area status and size. Within each cluster, there
is a further breakdown by residence. The proportion of sample

139

households not interviewed varies from 6 to 7 percent, depending upon a number of factors, including weather and
vacations.

tion Survey, are added to the population projections. Prior to
January 1994, the projections were based on earlier censuses,
and there was no correction for census undercount.

2. Ratio estimates. The distribution of the population selected for the sample may differ somewhat, by chance, from
that of the population as a whole in such characteristics as:
age, race, sex, and State of residence. Because these characteristics are closely correlated with labor force participation
and other principal measurements made from the sample, the
survey estimates can be substantially improved when weighted
appropriately by the known distribution of these population
characteristics. This is accomplished through two stages of
ratio adjustment, as follows:

3. Composite estimation procedure. The last step in the preparation of most CPS estimates makes use of a composite estimation procedure. The composite estimate consists of a
weighted average of two factors: (1) the second-stage ratio
estimate based on the entire sample from the current month
and (2) the composite estimate for the previous month, plus
an estimate of the month-to-month change based on the six
rotation groups common to both months. In addition, a bias
adjustment term is added to the weighted average to account
for relative bias associated with month-in-sample estimates.
The compositing procedure results in a reduction in sampling
error beyond that which is achieved after the two stages of
ratio adjustment.

a. First-stage ratio estimation. The purpose of the firststage ratio adjustment is to reduce the contribution to variance that results from selecting a sample of PSUs rather than
drawing sample households from every PSU in the Nation.
This adjustment is made to the CPS weights in two race cells:
Black and nonblack; it is applied only to PSUs that are nonself-representing and for those States that have a substantial
number of black households. The procedure corrects for differences that existed in each State cell at the time of the 1990
census between the race distribution of the population in
sample PSUs and the race distribution of all non-self-representing PSUs.

Reliability of the estimates
The estimates in this bulletin are based upon a sample of the
population rather than a complete count. Therefore, 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 provided later in this appendix indicate 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 the data.

b. Second-stage ratio estimation. This procedure substantially reduces the variability of estimates and corrects, to
some extent, for CPS undercoverage. The CPS sample
weights are adjusted to ensure that sample-based estimates
of population match independent population controls. Three
sets of controls are used:

Sampling variability. The standard error is primarily a measure of sampling variability, that is, the variation that occurs
by chance because a sample rather than the entire population
is surveyed. The sample estimate and its standard error enable one to construct confidence intervals, that is, ranges that
would include the average result of all possible samples with
a known probability. For example, if all possible samples
were selected, each of these samples were surveyed under
essentially the same conditions using the same sample design, and an estimate and its estimated standard error were
calculated from each sample, then the following would occur:
1. Approximately 68 percent of the intervals
from one standard error below the estimate
to one standard error above the estimate
would include the average result of all possible samples.
2. Approximately 90 percent of the intervals
from 1.6 standard errors below the estimate
to 1.6 standard errors above the estimate
would include the average result of all possible samples.
3. Approximately 95 percent of the intervals
from two standard errors below the esti-

1) 51 State controls of the civilian noninstitutional
population 16 years of age and older,
2) National civilian noninstitutional population
controls for 14 Hispanic and 5 non-Hispanic
age-sex categories, and
3) National civilian noninstitutional population
controls for 66 white, 42 black, and 10 “other”
age-sex categories.
The independent population controls are prepared by projecting forward the resident population as enumerated on April
1, 1990. The projections are derived by updating demographic
census data with information from a variety of other data
sources that account for births, deaths, and net migration.
Subtracting estimated numbers of resident Armed Forces personnel and institutionalized persons reduces the resident population to the civilian noninstitutional population. Estimates
of net census undercount, determined from the Post Enumera-

of the sampling error rather than the precise amount of the
possible error in an estimate. Illustrations on the use of these
tables are provided below. In all cases, the computations
present the estimated levels in thousands of persons.

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 subgroup constituting a small proportion of a population will tend to have a larger error relative to its size than an estimate for a larger subgroup.

Sampling error of an estimated number. Table B-5 shows
that an estimate of 50,000 unemployed persons in Maryland
will have an absolute sampling error of 10,000, or a relative
sampling error of 20 percent (10,000/50,000). In comparison, an estimate of 100,000 unemployed persons in Maryland has an absolute sampling error of 14,000, yielding a relative sampling error of 14 percent (14,000/100,000). A statement that unemployment in Maryland is between 40,000 and
60,000 in the first instance, and between 86,000 and 114,000
in the second, can be made with approximately 90-percent
confidence.
This can be interpreted as follows: If one were to draw all
possible samples and make an estimate from each sample
(using the same methods and techniques) and construct an
interval around each estimate (using the sampling errors shown
in the tables), then 90 percent of these intervals would contain the average value of all possible samples.
To convert a sampling error from 90-percent confidence,
as displayed in the tables, to 68-percent confidence (one standard error), multiply the sampling error shown in the tables
by 0.63. To convert the sampling error from 90- to 95-percent confidence (approximately two standard errors) multiply the sampling error by 1.23. For the example given above,
the sampling error at 90-percent confidence was 10,000. At
68-percent confidence, the error would be about 6,300 (10,000
x 0.63). At 95-percent confidence, the error would be about
12,300 (10,000 x 1.23).

Reliability standards
The CPS sample design takes into consideration both national
and State reliability. For the State data, a minimum reliability standard is set: An expected maximum coefficient of variation (CV) on the level of total unemployment of 8 percent
annually. This is calculated based on a 6-percent unemployment rate. Because each State’s design must meet the reliability standard, the CPS sampling rate differs by State. (The
sampling rate is the proportion of all households that are selected for the sample.) Generally, the smaller the State population, the higher the sampling rate. The average State sampling rates range roughly from 1 in every 200 households to 1
in every 2,500 households in each stratum within the State.
Publication standards for State and area CPS data
To achieve comparability of the data for regions, divisions,
States, metropolitan areas, and cities for publication purposes,
a unique requirement for minimum labor force, employment,
or unemployment was developed for each area. This requirement is based on the known differences in sampling rates
among these areas. Before estimates are published for a specific category (e.g., Hispanic unemployment in a particular
State), a predetermined “critical cell” must meet a 50-percent CV requirement. As a result of this requirement, minimum bases for publication have been developed for each area.
Table B-1 lists the minimum necessary base for publication
of data in each of the regions, divisions, States, the District of
Columbia, 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-1. In tables
showing the labor force status of the population, the critical
cell is the size of the labor force of the particular population
group. In all other tables, the determining factor or critical
cell is the size of the base of the distribution, for example, the
size of total employment or unemployment for that area or
population subgroup. Data are not published for any cell with
a level of fewer than 500 persons or less than 0.05 percent of
the total for a given characteristic.

Sampling error of a difference. 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 one year to the next in a particular
area for a particular population group is statistically significant, or whether the difference in the unemployment rate between two areas or population groups is statistically meaningful, the significance of the difference needs to be computed. (Differences between estimates for 2 consecutive years
may be influenced to some extent by the redesign of the CPS
concepts, questionnaire, and collection procedures, such as
that which occurred in 1994.)
As noted above, differences can take two general forms:
(1) differences between population groups and/or geographic
areas; or (2) differences for the same population group and
geographic area over time. Either type of difference can be
calculated using the following formula, and noting the limiting covariance assumption discussed below.

Using the sampling error tables
Tables B-2 through B-5 provide sampling errors for use in
constructing 90-percent confidence intervals (approximately
1.6 standard errors) for major labor force characteristics. They
are approximations and thus indicate the order of magnitude

SEd = (( SE12 + SE22 ) - 2C x ( SE1 x SE2 ))1/2
where:

term of zero can be assured. Thus, the error of the difference
is approximately 29,000. Since the actual difference (50,000)
is greater than the error of the difference, it can be stated,
with 90-percent confidence, that the difference in the unemployment level is attributable to factors other than sampling
variability alone.

The SE1 and SE2 can be found in the appropriate table of
Geographic Profile for each year if the comparison is between different years, because the size of the samples and,
consequently, sampling errors may differ from year to year.
Values for the covariance or “C” term (for employment and
unemployment) for differences between consecutive years are
as follows. For labor force or employment levels, C = 0.58;
for unemployment levels or rates, C = 0.37. It is important to
note that these “C” terms are usable only for calculating the
sampling error of a difference for over-the-year change for
the same geographic area and population group.
Covariance terms for the relationship between different
population groups or geographic areas in this bulletin are not
available. When calculating sampling errors for differences
between two different population groups or geographic areas, a “C” term of zero must be assumed. The effect of this
assumption is: (1) if the relationship between two groups,
areas, or years (differences for nonconsecutive years) is small,
the “C” term can legitimately be ignored and the sampling
errors won’t be adversely affected, or (2) if there is a strong
positive relationship between the two groups, areas, or years
(differences for consecutive years), then the error computed
without a “C” term will be overstated. This could lead one to
erroneously state that a difference or change was not statistically significant when, in fact, it was. When there is a strong
relationship over time for a labor force characteristic such as
employment (i.e., people tend to remain employed from one
year to the next), the importance of using a “C” term when
calculating the sampling error of a difference over time increases greatly.
The following example illustrates how to calculate a sampling error for a difference.
Suppose one wished to know whether a hypothetical difference between the unemployment level of 250,000 for a
particular population group in California and an unemployment level of 200,000 for the same group in New York was
statistically significant at 90-percent confidence. Table B-5
gives the error for an unemployment level of 250,000 in California as approximately 23,000 and the error for an unemployment level of 200,000 in New York as 17,000. Using the
formula described above without the “C” term produces the
following results:

Sampling errors for unemployment rates. Unemployment
rates and error ranges for these rates are provided in tables 1,
12, and 23. This information can be used to derive a sampling error for an unemployment rate if one is needed. The
error range is a 90-percent confidence interval around the
unemployment rate. By subtracting the estimated unemployment rate from the upper bound of the range, the sampling
error for that rate can be obtained. This sampling error can
then be used in the above formula for computing the sampling error of a difference, or for whatever purpose the user
chooses.
Interpolation and extrapolation. Although sampling errors
are listed for selected levels of employment and unemployment in tables B-2 through B-5, users may wish to know the
sampling error for an estimate whose value is not listed. To
derive such a sampling error, it is necessary to use interpolation or extrapolation.
For example, in order to derive the sampling error for the
1998 total unemployment level in Georgia, it is necessary to
use interpolation because table B-5 contains no sampling error for an unemployment level estimate of 169,000. The following formula and accompanying example show how to interpolate for this estimate.
SE =[[( A-G) / (F-G)] x (X-Y)] + Y
where:
SE =the sampling error for the estimated value.
A =the estimated value (169,000).
F =the table value (200,000) immediately above
the estimated value.
G =the table value (100,000) immediately below
the estimated value.
X =the sampling error of F (21,000).
Y =the sampling error of G (15,000).
SE =[[(169 - 100) / (200 - 100)] x (21 - 15)] + 15
SE =( 0.69 x 6 ) + 15

SE1 = 23; SE2 = 17
SE12 + SE22 = 818
SEd = (( SE12 + SE22 ))1/2 = 29

=4.1 + 15
=19.1
=19
If the sample-based estimate were to lie outside the boundaries of the error tables, extrapolation can be used to approxi-

Because each State’s sample is independent, there is no
measurable correlation between the two estimates and a “C”

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.

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 Labor
Statistics. These parameters are available upon request to
the Division of Local Area Unemployment Statistics, Room
4675, 2 Massachusetts Avenue NE, Washington, DC 202120001. Telephone: (202) 606-6406.
Tables B-2 through B-5 can be used for estimates pertaining to any race/ethnic group. As noted, the sampling errors
are based on a generalized regression procedure and are approximate. Generally, the degree of precision in these tables
is slightly greater for whites (and the total of all race/ethnic
groups) than it is for blacks or Hispanics.

Derivation of sampling errors
The State and area sampling errors are developed using a
generalized regression procedure and are not based on sample
data for each individual area, population group, or labor force
characteristic. As with all sampling error tables produced for
CPS State and area data, a number of approximations were
required in order to derive sampling errors that would apply
to a wide variety of items. As a result, these sampling errors
indicate the order of magnitude of a sampling error rather

Appendix C.
Geographic Boundary
Definitions

T

able C-1 of this appendix lists the States composing the
Census regions and divisions for which data are published
in section I. Table C-2 provides the geographic definitions
of the metropolitan areas for which data are published in section III. These data for metropolitan areas reflect the standards and definitions established by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget on June 30, 1993.1
Effective December 22, 1987, the boundary of the St. Louis
metropolitan statistical area was redefined to include the part
of Sullivan City in Crawford County, Missouri. This change
is not reflected in the data for St. Louis shown in this bulletin,
although the addition of entire counties in 1993 is reflected.

adjacent communities that have a high degree of economic
and social integration within that core.
A Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) consists of one or
more counties and meets specified size criteria—either it contains a city of at least 50,000 inhabitants, or it contains an
urbanized area of at least 50,000 inhabitants, and has a total
population of at least 100,000.
A Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area (CMSA) is
a metropolitan area that has a population of at least 1 million
and which has been divided into two or more PMSAs (see
below). The CMSA comprises the same geographic area as
its constituent PMSAs.
A Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area (PMSA) is a subarea within a CMSA. The designation of these sub-areas is
based on specific criteria, including having a population of at
least 100,000 that is at least 60 percent urban, and the support of local opinion. Areas that were designated separate
metropolitan areas as of January 1, 1980, and are now part of
a larger area, are designated as PMSAs unless local opinion
does not support their continued separate designation for statistical purposes.

Metropolitan areas
The general concept of a metropolitan area (MA) is that of a
core area containing a large population nucleus, together with

The standards were published in the Federal Register on March 30,
1990; the definitions and a complete listing of the areas were published on
June 30, 1993 in OMB release 93-17.
