Footnotes
(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.
Note: Data for demographic groups are not shown when the labor force base does not meet the BLS publication standard of reliability for the area in question, as determined by the sample size. (See
appendix B.) Detailed items may not sum to totals because of rounding. Estimates for the race groups shown in the table (White, Black or African American, and Asian) do not sum to totals because data are
not presented for all races. In addition, people whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by race. Data incorporate updated
2010 census-based population controls.

U.S. BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS

Footnotes
(1) Employed people are classified as full- or part-time workers based on their usual weekly hours at all jobs regardless of the number of hours they are at work during the reference week. People absent from
work also are classified according to their usual status.
(2) Includes some people at work 35 hours or more classified by their reason for usually working part time.
(3) Fewer than 500 people.
Note: Detailed items may not sum to totals because of rounding. Estimates for the race groups shown in the table (White, Black or African American, and Asian) do not sum to totals because data are not
presented for all races. In addition, people whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by race. Data incorporate updated 2010
census-based population controls.

because data for other race groups are not shown. In addition, people whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by race.

Note: Detailed items may not sum to totals because of rounding. Estimates for the race groups shown in the table (White, Black or African American, and Asian) do not sum to totals because data are not
presented for all races. In addition, people whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by race. Data incorporate updated 2010
census-based population controls.

Note: Detailed items may not sum to totals because of rounding. Estimates for the race groups shown in the table (White, Black or African American, and Asian) do not sum to totals because data are not
presented for all races. In addition, people whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by race. Data incorporate updated 2010
census-based population controls.

Note: Data for demographic groups are not shown when the labor force base does not meet the BLS publication standard of reliability for the area in question, as determined by the sample size. (See
appendix B.) Detailed items may not sum to totals because of rounding. Estimates for the race groups shown in the table (White, Black or African American, and Asian) do not sum to totals because data are
not presented for all races. In addition, people whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by race. Data incorporate updated
2010 census-based population controls.

2010 census-based population controls.

Footnotes
(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) Fewer than 500 people.
(3) Error ranges cannot be properly computed when the number of sample cases is very small or the unemployment rate is too low.
Note: Data for demographic groups are not shown when the labor force base does not meet the BLS publication standard of reliability for the area in question, as determined by the sample size. (See
appendix B.) Detailed items may not sum to totals because of rounding. Estimates for the race groups shown in the table (White, Black or African American, and Asian) do not sum to totals because data are
not presented for all races. In addition, people whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by race. Data incorporate updated
2010 census-based population controls.

(4) Data are not shown when the labor force base does not meet the BLS publication standard of reliability for the particular area, as determined by the sample size. (See appendix B.)
Note: Detailed items may not sum to totals because of rounding. Estimates for the race groups shown in the table (White, Black or African American, and Asian) do not sum to totals because data are not
presented for all races. In addition, people whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by race. Data incorporate updated 2010
census-based population controls.

(1) Less than 0.05 percent.
(2) Data are not shown when the labor force base does not meet the BLS publication standard of reliability for the particular area, as determined by the sample size. (See appendix B.)
Note: Estimates for the race groups shown in the table (White, Black or African American, and Asian) do not sum to totals because data for other race groups are not shown. In addition, people whose ethnicity
is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by race.

(2) Data are not shown when the labor force base does not meet the BLS publication standard of reliability for the particular area, as determined by the sample size. (See appendix B.)
Note: Estimates for the race groups shown in the table (White, Black or African American, and Asian) do not sum to totals because data for other race groups are not shown. In addition, people whose ethnicity
is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by race.

Note: Detailed items may not sum to totals because of rounding. Estimates for the race groups shown in the table (White, Black or African American, and Asian) do not sum to totals because data are not
presented for all races. In addition, people whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by race. Data incorporate updated 2010
census-based population controls.

(1) Fewer than 500 people.
(2) Data are not shown when the labor force base does not meet the BLS publication standard of reliability for the particular area, as determined by the sample size. (See appendix B.)
Note: Detailed items may not sum to totals because of rounding. Estimates for the race groups shown in the table (White, Black or African American, and Asian) do not sum to totals because data are not
presented for all races. In addition, people whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by race. Data incorporate updated 2010
census-based population controls.

(1) Includes seasonal work, job started or ended, own illness, childcare problems, other family or personal obligations, labor dispute, in school or training, civic or military duty, and all other reasons.
(2) Includes seasonal work, health and medical limitations, full-time workweek less than 35 hours, and all other reasons.
(3) Fewer than 500 people.
(4) Data are not shown when the labor force base does not meet the BLS publication standard of reliability for the particular area, as determined by the sample size. (See appendix B.)
Note: Detailed items may not sum to totals because of rounding. Estimates for the race groups shown in the table (White, Black or African American, and Asian) do not sum to totals because data are not
presented for all races. In addition, people whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by race. Data incorporate updated 2010
census-based population controls.

(2) Includes labor disputes, bad weather, in school or training, civic or military duty, and all other reasons.
(3) Fewer than 500 people.
(4) Data are not shown when the labor force base does not meet the BLS publication standard of reliability for the particular area, as determined by the sample size. (See appendix B.)
Note: Detailed items may not sum to totals because of rounding. Estimates for the race groups shown in the table (White, Black or African American, and Asian) do not sum to totals because data are not
presented for all races. In addition, people whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by race. Data incorporate updated 2010
census-based population controls.

Note: Data for demographic groups are not shown when the labor force base does not meet the BLS publication standard of reliability for the area in question, as determined by the sample size. (See
appendix B.) Detailed items may not sum to totals because of rounding. Estimates for the race groups shown in the table (White, Black or African American, and Asian) do not sum to totals because data are
not presented for all races. In addition, people whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by race. Data incorporate updated
2010 census-based population controls.

Note: Data for demographic groups are not shown when the labor force base does not meet the BLS publication standard of reliability for the area in question, as determined by the sample size. (See
appendix B.) Detailed items may not sum to totals because of rounding. Estimates for the race groups shown in the table (White, Black or African American, and Asian) do not sum to totals because data are
not presented for all races. In addition, people whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by race. Data incorporate updated
2010 census-based population controls.

Appendixes
Appendix A: Concepts and definitions for data derived from the Current Population Survey
Tables showing the labor force status include estimates of the civilian noninstitutional population 16 years and older, as well as data on
the civilian labor force, labor force participation rates, employment, and unemployment rates. Population estimates are revised by the
U.S. Census Bureau each year, and the revised estimates are incorporated into the Current Population Survey (CPS) labor force levels.
This adjustment affects the estimates of labor force, employment, and unemployment levels, but it generally does not affect
percentages, such as unemployment rates, labor force participation rates, or employment-population ratios. Thus, levels contained in

282

U.S. BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS

this publication may not be comparable with levels published prior to or after 2017 in Geographic Profile of Employment and
Unemployment.
The concepts and definitions underlying the labor force data in this bulletin are as follows:

Civilian noninstitutional population. This category comprises all people 16 years of age and older residing in the 50 States and the
District of Columbia who are not inmates of institutions (for example, penal and mental facilities and homes for the aged) and who are
not on active duty in the Armed Forces.
Employed. These are all people who, during the reference week, (a) worked for least 1 hour as paid employees 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, or (b) were not working but had jobs or businesses from which they were temporarily absent because of a labor-management
dispute, job training, vacation, illness, bad weather, childcare problems, maternity or paternity leave, or other family or personal
reasons, whether or not they were paid for the time off or were seeking other jobs.
Unemployed. Those in this category are all people who had no employment during the reference week, were available for work—
except for temporary illness—and made specific efforts to find employment sometime during the 4-week period ending with the
reference week. People 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.
Duration of unemployment. This categorization represents the length of time (through the current reference week) that people
classified as unemployed had been looking for work. For people who were laid off, the duration of unemployment represents the
number of full weeks they had been on layoff.
Reason for unemployment. Unemployment is categorized according to the status of individuals at the time they began to look for
work. People are divided into five major groups on the basis of their reason for unemployment: (1) job losers, comprising (a) people
on temporary layoff, who have been given a date to return to work or who expect to return within 6 months (people 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, who quit or otherwise terminated their employment voluntarily and immediately began looking
for work; (3) people who completed temporary jobs (included along with job losers in this publication), who began looking for work
after their temporary jobs ended; (4) reentrants, who previously worked but were out of the labor force prior to beginning their job
search; and (5) new entrants, who have never worked.

283

U.S. BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS

Labor force. This group comprises all people classified as employed or unemployed in accordance with the criteria described in the
previous paragraph.
Unemployment rate. The unemployment rate represents the number of unemployed people as a percentage of the labor force.
Participation rate. This measure represents the proportion of the civilian noninstitutional population that is in the labor force.
Employment–population ratio. This measure represents the proportion of the civilian noninstitutional population that is employed.
Married, spouse present; and family. "Married, spouse present," applies to husband and wife if both were living in the same
household, even if one is temporarily absent on business, on vacation, on a visit, in a hospital, etc. A family is defined as a group of
two or more people residing together who are related by birth, marriage, or adoption; all such people are considered as members of
one family. Families are classified either as married-couple families or as families maintained by women or men without spouses. A
family maintained by a woman or a man is defined as a family in which the householder is either single, widowed, divorced, or married
with the spouse absent.
Occupation and industry. This information regarding the employed applies to the job held in the reference week. People with two or
more jobs are classified as being in the job at which they worked the greatest number of hours. The unemployed are classified
according to their last job. The occupation and industry classification of CPS data is based on the coding systems used in Census 2000.
Class of worker. The class-of-worker breakdown assigns workers to the following categories: private and government wage and salary
workers, self-employed workers, and unpaid family workers. Wage and salary workers receive wages, salary, commissions, tips, or pay
in kind from a private employer or from a government unit. Self-employed people are those who work for profit or fees in their own
business, profession, trade, or farm. Only the unincorporated self-employed are included in the self-employed category in the class-ofworker typology. Self-employed people who respond that their businesses are incorporated are included among wage and salary
workers because, technically, they are paid employees of a corporation. Unpaid family workers are people working without pay for 15
hours a week or more on a farm or in a business operated by a member of the household to whom they are related by birth or
marriage.
Hours of work. These statistics relate to the actual number of hours worked during the reference week. For example, people 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

284

U.S. BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS

were paid for the holiday. For people 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.

At work part time for economic reasons. Sometimes called "involuntary part time," this category refers to individuals who give an
economic reason for working 1 to 34 hours during the reference week. Economic reasons include unfavorable business conditions,
inability to find full-time work, and seasonal declines in demand. Those who usually work part time must indicate that they want and
are available to work full time in order to be classified as at work part time for economic reasons.
At work part time for noneconomic reasons. This group includes those people who usually work part time and were at work 1 to 34
hours during the reference week for a noneconomic reason. Some examples of noneconomic reasons are the following: illness or other
medical limitations, childcare problems or other family or personal obligations, school or training, retirement or Social Security limits on
earnings, and being in a job in which full-time work is less than 35 hours. The group also includes those who give an economic reason
for usually working 1 to 34 hours but say they do not want to work full time or are unavailable for such work.
Usual full- or part-time status. Data on people "at work" exclude people who were temporarily absent from a job and are therefore
classified into the zero-hours-worked category, "with a job but not at work." These are people who were absent from their jobs for the
entire reference week for such reasons as bad weather, childcare problems, maternity or paternity leave, vacation, illness, or
involvement in a labor dispute. In order to differentiate a person's normal schedule from his or her activity during the reference week,
people also are classified according to their usual full- or part-time status. In this context, full-time workers are those who usually work
35 or more hours (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 group may include some individuals who actually worked at least 35 hours in the reference week, as well as those who were
temporarily absent from work.
White, Black or African American, Asian, and "other." These are terms used to describe the race of people. Included in the "other"
group are people classified as American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN), as Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander (NHPI), as
some other race (SOR), and within two or more race categories. Because of the relatively small sample size in most areas, data for
"other" races are not published at this time. In the enumeration process, race is determined by the household respondent.

285

U.S. BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS

Hispanic or Latino ethnicity. This category refers to people who identified themselves as Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or
South American, or of other Hispanic or Latino ethnicity or descent. People of Hispanic or Latino ethnicity may be of any race; thus,
they are included in the White, Black or African American, and Asian population groups.

Appendix B: Reliability of subnational estimates derived from the Current Population Survey
The estimates published in Geographic Profile of Employment and Unemployment (GP) 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 questionnaire and procedures that are used in the Current Population Survey (CPS). There are
two types of errors in an estimate based on a sample survey: sampling error and nonsampling error. Tables B-2 through B-5 indicate
the magnitude of the sampling error.

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: 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 by use of 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 1 standard error below the estimate to 1 standard error above the estimate
would include the average result of all possible samples.
2. Approximately 90 percent of the intervals from 1.645 standard errors below the estimate to 1.645 standard errors above the
estimate would include the average result of all possible samples.
3. Approximately 95 percent of the intervals from 2 standard errors below the estimate to 2 standard errors above the estimate
would include the average result of all possible samples.
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 will an
estimate for a larger subgroup.

286

U.S. BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS

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 CV is calculated
with the assumption of a 6-percent unemployment rate. Because each state's sample 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 is the sampling rate.
Publication standards for state CPS data

To achieve comparability of the data for regions, divisions, and states, for publication purposes, a unique requirement for minimum
levels for the labor force and for employment and 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 (such as 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, and states.
Estimates are not shown when they do not meet the minimum base for area listed in table B-1. In tables showing the labor force
status of the population—that is, the number of employed and unemployed—publishability is determined by whether the labor force
level exceeds the minimum base for unemployment in table B-1. If the labor force level is less than the unemployment minimum base,
all data—labor force, employment, unemployment, and unemployment rate—are suppressed. In all other tables, the determining
factor is whether the size of the base of the distribution exceeds the minimum base for employment or unemployment separately,
depending on whether the table presents a distribution of employment or unemployment for the area or population subgroup. For
example, in the table showing unemployed people by reason for unemployment, the entire line of data will be suppressed if the total
unemployment is less than the minimum base for unemployment. If a subgroup appears in the table (such as a given gender or race),
data for the subgroup also will be suppressed if the total for the reason in question does not meet the minimum base. Data are not
published for any cell with a level of less than 500 people or less than 0.05 percent of the total for a given characteristic.
Using the sampling error tables

Tables B-2 through B-5 provide sampling errors for use in constructing 90-percent confidence intervals (approximately 1.645 standard
errors) for major labor force characteristics. The sampling errors provided are approximations and thus indicate the order of

287

U.S. BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS

magnitude 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 next. In all cases, the computations present the estimated levels in thousands of people.

Sampling error of an estimated number. Table B-5 shows that an estimate of 50,000 unemployed people in Iowa will have an absolute
sampling error of 10,000, for a relative sampling error of 20 percent (10,000/50,000). In comparison, an estimate of 100,000
unemployed people in Iowa has an absolute sampling error of 15,000, yielding a relative sampling error of 15 percent
(15,000/100,000). A statement that unemployment for a particular group is between 40,000 and 60,000 in the first instance, and
between 85,000 and 115,000 in the second, can be made with approximately 90-percent confidence.
The latter statement can be interpreted as follows: if one were to draw all possible samples, make an estimate from each sample
(using the same methods and techniques), and construct an interval around each estimate (with the sampling errors shown in the
tables), then 90 percent of the 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 (1 standard error),
multiply the sampling error shown in the tables by 0.63. To convert the sampling error from 90-percent to 95-percent confidence
(approximately 2 standard errors), multiply the sampling error by 1.23. For the example given, the sampling error at 90-percent
confidence is 10,000. At 68-percent confidence, the error would be about 6,300 (10,000 × 0.63). At 95-percent confidence, the error
would be about 12,300 (10,000 × 1.23).

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 a redesign of the CPS concepts, questionnaire, and collection procedures, such as the one
that occurred in 1994.)
As noted before, differences can take two general forms: (1) differences between population groups and/or geographic areas, and (2)
differences for the same population group and geographic area over time. Either type of difference can be calculated with the
following formula, noting the limiting covariance assumption discussed later:

288

U.S. BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS

SEd = [( SE12 + SE22 ) - 2C × ( SE1 × SE2 )]1/2.
In this equation:
SEd = the sampling error of the difference,
SE1 = the sampling error of one group or year,
SE2 = the sampling error of another group or year, and
C = the covariance (or relationship) term.
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. In
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 that (1) if the relationship between two groups, areas, or years (differences for
nonconsecutive years) is small, then the C term can legitimately be ignored and the sampling errors will not be adversely affected, and
(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. An overstatement could lead one to 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 characteristic such as employment
(people tend to remain employed from one year to the next), the importance of using a C term to calculate the sampling error of a
difference over time increases greatly.
The next example illustrates how to calculate the sampling error of a difference. Suppose one wished to know whether a hypothetical
difference between an 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 27,000 and the error for an unemployment level of 200,000 in New York
as 25,000. Using the formula described previously without the C term produces the following results (levels in thousands):

289

U.S. BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS

SE1 = 27; SE2 = 25;
SE12 + SE22 = 1,354;
SEd = ( SE12 + SE22 )1/2 = 37.
Because each state's sample is independent, there is no measurable correlation between the two estimates, and a C term of zero can
be assumed. Thus, the error of the difference is approximately 37,000. Because 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.

Sampling errors for unemployment rates. Unemployment rates and error ranges for these rates are provided in tables 1 and 14. 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 (or subtracting the lower bound of the range from the estimated unemployment rate), the sampling error for the rate can be
obtained. This sampling error can then be used in the formula given previously for computing the sampling error of a difference, or for
any other 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 2017 total unemployment level for women in Pennsylvania, it is necessary to
use interpolation because table B-5 contains no sampling error for an unemployment-level estimate of 133,000. The following formula
and accompanying example show how to interpolate for this estimate:
SE = {[(A-G) / (F-G)] × (X-Y)} + Y.
In this equation,
SE = the sampling error for the estimated value,
A = the estimated value (133,000),
F = the table value (200,000) immediately above the estimated value,
G = the table value (100,000) immediately below the estimated value,

290

U.S. BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS

X = the sampling error of F (24,000), and
Y = the sampling error of G (17,000).
Thus (levels in thousands),
SE

( 0.33 × 7 ) + 17
2.31 + 17
19

If the sample-based estimate lies outside the boundaries of the error tables, extrapolation can be used to approximate the sampling
error. The formula for extrapolation is the same as that for interpolation; however, the F term becomes the highest value in the table
and the G term becomes the next-highest value.

291

Derivation of sampling errors

The state and area sampling errors are developed with 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 subnational data, a
number of approximations are required in order to derive sampling errors that apply to a wide variety of items. As a result, these
sampling errors indicate the order of magnitude of the error rather than a precise 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 from the Division of Local Area Unemployment Statistics.
