STATE AND METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT:
DECEMBER 1995

Unemployment rates were lower in December 1995 than a month earlier in
23 states and the District of Columbia, higher in 18 states, and unchanged
in 9 states, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor
reported today. The national unemployment rate was unchanged at 5.6
percent in December. Nonfarm payroll employment increased in 42 states over
the month.
State Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted)
California had the largest unemployment rate decrease from November to
December (1.1 percentage points), reversing the previous month's jump.
Washington State's rate fell 0.8 percentage point to 5.8 percent. West
Virginia and Ohio recorded the next largest declines (both 0.7 percentage
point). New Jersey had the largest increase over the month (1.2 percentage
points), followed by North Carolina (0.9 percentage point), as both states
registered their highest rates in nearly 2 years. Jobless rates in
Illinois and Alaska rose 0.7 and 0.6 percentage points, respectively. No
other state had an over-the-month change of more than one-half percentage
point in either direction.

Compared with a year earlier, unemployment rates were lower in 32
states in December. Eight states recorded over-the-year decreases of a
percentage point or more, and eight additional states experienced declines
of more than one-half point. The largest over-the-year decreases were in
Arizona and Maine (both 1.8 points), Kansas (1.5 points), and Louisiana (1.4
points). In Arizona and Kansas, the December jobless rates equaled their
16-year lows. North Carolina experienced the largest rate increase over
the year (1.7 percentage points), followed by New Jersey and Tennessee
(both 1.1 points) and Illinois (1.0 point). Ten additional states and the
District of Columbia recorded increases.

- 2 In December, Nebraska once again had the lowest unemployment rate (2.6
percent), followed by Utah (2.8 percent) and North Dakota and South Dakota
(both 2.9 percent). Thirteen other states had rates below 4.5 percent. At
8.6 percent, the District of Columbia recorded the highest unemployment
rate, followed by Alaska (7.9 percent), California (7.7 percent), and West
Virginia (7.6 percent). Overall, 34 states had jobless rates below the
U.S. average, while 15 states and the District of Columbia had higher
rates. (See table 1 and chart 1.)
Nonfarm Payroll Employment (Seasonally Adjusted)
Forty-two states recorded gains in total nonfarm employment in
December. The service-producing sector remained on an upward trend, with
43 states reporting employment gains over the month.
Industries contributing to employment growth in the service-producing
sector included services and trade. Thirty-nine states recorded over-themonth gains in services, and 33 states reported over-the-month increases in
trade in December.
In the goods-producing sector, 34 states had over-the-month gains in
construction, while 26 states had employment gains in manufacturing. In
mining, 21 states reported small employment gains.
Over the year, 44 states experienced employment growth. Most states
in the Mountain division continued to report strong over-the-year increases
in nonfarm employment. The New England and Middle Atlantic states, as well
as parts of the South Atlantic division, had the slowest growth. (See
chart 2.)
Nearly every state had over-the-year increases in trade and services.

More than two-thirds of the states had over-the-year gains in construction
and in transportation and public utilities.
Texas led the nation in over-the-year job gains with 297,000, followed
by Florida (196,000) and California (178,000). The District of Columbia
had the largest job losses over the year (-17,000), followed by Hawaii
(-10,000), and Pennsylvania (-8,000).

- 3 NOTE: Monthly payroll employment data are provided on a seasonally
adjusted basis for all states and the District of Columbia, permitting both
current and over-the-year comparisons of the data. The state data are
intended for individual state analyses only. Because the state data are
not designed for national aggregation, a summation could present a
misleading picture of national trends. (See Technical Note.)
Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
Of the 271 areas for which December data are available, 121 had
unemployment rates below 4.5 percent, while 19 had rates higher than 7.5
percent. The lowest rates were in Madison, Wis. (1.5 percent), and Sioux
Falls, S.D. (2.1 percent). McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, Tex., once again
recorded the highest jobless rate (20.1 percent), followed by Laredo, Tex.
(14.1 percent). Pine Bluff, Ark., experienced the largest over-the-year
decrease in its unemployment rate (2.1 percentage points), followed by
Wichita, Kan. (1.9 points). Twenty-five other areas registered decreases
of 1.0 percentage point or more. Laredo, Tex., had the largest over-theyear increase (5.2 percentage points), followed by another border area, El
Paso, Tex. (2.1 points). Twenty-seven other areas recorded increases of
1.0 percentage point or more. (See table 5.)
___________________________________________________________________________

The State and Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment release
for January 1996 is scheduled to be issued on Thursday, March 7, 1996.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
Effective with the release of data for January 1996, BLS is
|
| discontinuing publication of monthly state and area estimates derived
|
| directly from the Current Population Survey (CPS). Because of budget
|
| reductions, the CPS sample is no longer of sufficient size to provide data |
| for all of the 11 large states (contained in tables 1, 2, and 5), as well |
| as the Los Angeles-Long Beach metropolitan area and New York City
|

| (contained in table 5). Instead, estimates for these states and areas are |
| to be based on the method currently used for each of the other states and |
| the District of Columbia.
|
|
Also effective with January estimates, all nonfarm payroll employment |
| estimates for states and areas will be adjusted to March 1995 benchmark
|
| levels, and 5 years of seasonally adjusted data (table 3) will be revised. |
