EST Friday, January 18, 2002 REGIONAL AND STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT: DECEMBER 2001 Most regional and state unemployment rates either rose or were little changed in December, and virtually all were higher than a year earlier, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. The national jobless rate edged up to 5.8 percent in December. Nonfarm employment decreased in 35 states and the District of Columbia. Regional Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted) The West continued to report the highest unemployment rate--6.0 percent in December, the highest for any region since January 1997. The Midwest registered the lowest rate, 4.9 percent. The South had the largest overthe-month increase (+0.3 percentage point), and no region had a rate decline. All four regions posted rate increases over the year, ranging from 1.2 percentage points in the Northeast to 1.6 points each in the South and West. (See table 1.) Among the nine geographic divisions, the Pacific division continued to record the highest unemployment rate, 6.3 percent, in December. The West North Central division again reported the lowest rate, 3.9 percent, slightly below the 4.0 percent rate registered in New England. The East South Central, Middle Atlantic, Mountain, and South Atlantic divisions recorded the largest over-the-month rate increases (+0.3 percentage point each). Over the year, the Mountain division experienced the sharpest increase in its jobless rate (+1.8 percentage points). The next largest increases were reported in the South Atlantic and West South Central divisions (+1.7 points each). Only the West North Central division, where the rate rose by 0.9 percentage point, recorded an over-the-year increase of less than a full percentage point. State Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted) In December, Oregon and Washington again reported the highest unemployment rates, 7.5 percent and 7.1 percent, respectively. Six additional states and the District of Columbia recorded rates of 6.0 percent or higher. Among these nine areas, four were in the West and four were in the South. Four of the five states with the lowest jobless rates in December were located in the Midwest. The states with the lowest unemployment rates were again North Dakota, 2.8 percent, and South Dakota, 3.2 percent. (See table 3 and chart 1.) Unemployment rates increased over the month in 34 states, decreased in 8 states and the District of Columbia, and were unchanged in 8 states. Utah recorded the largest over-the-month rate increase (+0.8 percentage point), followed by Mississippi (+0.6 point). The largest over-the-month decline in jobless rates was reported in the District of Columbia (-0.7 percentage point), the only area to have a decrease greater than half a percentage point. - 2 Over the year, jobless rates were up in 46 states, down in 3 states and the District of Columbia, and unchanged in 1 state. Oregon recorded the largest rate increase from last December (+3.3 percentage points). The state's increasing unemployment resulted from job losses across several industries, including construction, manufacturing, trade, and services. Colorado and North Carolina posted the next largest unemployment rate increases (+2.7 and +2.4 points, respectively). Eight additional states experienced over-the-year rate increases of at least 2.0 percentage points, and 22 more had increases of at least a full percentage point. The only state that had an over-the-year rate decline greater than half a percentage point was West Virginia, which continued to post the largest decrease from a year earlier (-0.9 percentage point). Nonfarm Payroll Employment (Seasonally Adjusted) Total nonfarm employment decreased in 35 states and the District of Columbia, increased in 12 states, and was unchanged in 3 states in December. The largest over-the-month employment decreases occurred in Georgia (-12,400), Michigan (-11,600), New York (-10,700), and Washington (-10,300). The largest percentage declines were posted in Mississippi (-0.5 percent), Nebraska and Washington (-0.4 percent each), and Arizona, Georgia, and South Dakota (-0.3 percent each). The largest employment gain was recorded in Nevada (+4,000), followed by Wisconsin (+3,100) and Texas (+2,400). Nevada also had the largest over-the-month percentage increase in employment (+0.4 percent), followed by Alaska, Hawaii, and Kansas (+0.2 percent each). (See table 5.) Over the year, employment decreased in 36 states, with 3 states reporting declines of 2.0 percent or greater. Oregon recorded the biggest percentage decrease in employment (-2.3 percent), followed by Georgia (-2.2 percent) and Mississippi (-2.0 percent). The largest employment decreases were in New York (-94,400), Georgia (-88,400), and Michigan (-64,300). The largest percentage increases in employment occurred in Alaska and Florida (+1.9 percent each), Wyoming (+1.8 percent), and New Mexico and Oklahoma (+1.1 percent each). (See chart 2.) Employment growth over the year in the major industry divisions was mixed, with half of the industry divisions posting employment increases and half reporting declines. Gains in government were widespread, with 42 states experiencing increases. Services; finance, insurance, and real estate; and construction also showed widespread employment gains, with increases in 35, 33, and 32 states, respectively. Manufacturing remained the weakest industry division, with 49 states and the District of Columbia posting over-the-year employment losses and 1 state recording a gain. ______________________________ The Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment release for December 2001 is scheduled to be issued on January 30. The Regional and State Employment and Unemployment release for January 2002 is scheduled to be issued on March 6. - 3 -------------------------------------------------------------------| NOTE: In the Regional and State Employment and Unemployment | |news release for January 2002, labor force estimates for regions, | |divisions, states, the District of Columbia, the Los Angeles-Long | |Beach metropolitan area, and New York City will be revised to in| |corporate updated population controls, revised seasonal adjustment | |factors, reestimation of models, and benchmarking to Current Popu- | |lation Survey annual averages. Not-seasonally-adjusted data back | |to 1999 and seasonally-adjusted data back to 1997 are subject to | |revision.

In addition, the revised nonfarm payroll employment data will| |reflect the introduction of probability-based sample estimates for | |the mining, construction, and manufacturing industries. | -------------------------------------------------------------------Technical Note This release presents labor force and unemployment data for census regions and divisions, states, the Los Angeles-Long Beach metropolitan area, and New York City from the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program (tables 1-4). Also presented are nonfarm payroll employment estimates by state and major industry from the Current Employment Statistics (CES) program (tables 5 and 6). The LAUS and CES programs are both Federal-State cooperative endeavors. Labor force and unemployment--from the LAUS program Definitions. The labor force and unemployment data are based on the same concepts and definitions as those used for the official national estimates obtained from the Current Population Survey (CPS), a sample survey of households that is conducted for the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) by the U.S. Census Bureau. The labor force includes both the employed and the unemployed. Employed persons are those who did any work at all for pay or profit in the survey reference week (the week including the 12th of the month) or worked 15 hours or more without pay in a family business or farm, plus those not working who have a job from which they were temporarily absent, whether or not paid, for such reasons as labormanagement dispute, illness, or vacation. Unemployed persons are those who did not work at all (in the reference week), have actively looked for a job (sometime in the 4-week period ending with the survey reference week), and are currently available for work; persons on layoff expecting recall need not be looking for work to be counted as unemployed. Method of estimation. Effective January 1996, estimates for all states, the District of Columbia, the Los Angeles-Long Beach metropolitan area, and New York City are produced using estimating equations based on regression techniques. This method utilizes data from several sources, including the CPS, the CES, and state unemployment insurance (UI) data. A detailed description of the estimation procedures is available from BLS upon request. Effective January 1998, estimates for census regions and divisions are obtained by summing the model-based estimates for the component states and then calculating the unemployment rate. Annual revisions. Labor force and unemployment data shown for the prior year reflect adjustments made at the end of each year, usually with January estimates. The adjusted estimates reflect updated population data from the U.S. Census Bureau and any revisions in the other data sources. In addition, data for all states, the District of Columbia, and the two large substate areas noted are adjusted annually to equal the CPS annual averages, usually effective with January estimates. The regional and state data will not sum to national totals obtained from the CPS, since the monthly state estimates are not based directly on the CPS. Seasonal adjustment. Seasonal adjustment of state (and Los AngelesLong Beach and New York City) labor force levels are computed by aggregating independently seasonally adjusted employment and unemployment levels. Unemployment rates are then computed from these independently adjusted levels. Region and division levels are calculated as the sum of the levels of the component states. Revisions of historical data for the most recent 5 years are usually made at the beginning of each calendar year, usually coincident with January estimates. Employment--from the CES program Definitions. Employment data refer to persons on establishment payrolls who receive pay for any part of the pay period which includes the 12th of the month, except for federal government employment, which represents the number of persons who occupied positions on the last day of the month. Persons are counted at their place of work rather than at their place of residence; those appearing on more than one payroll are counted on each payroll. Industries are classified on the basis of their principal product or activity in accordance with the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification Manual. Method of estimation. The employment data are estimated using a "link relative" technique in which a ratio (link relative) of current-month employment to that of the previous month is computed from a sample of establishments reporting for both months. The estimates of employment for the current month are obtained by multiplying the estimates for the previous month by these ratios. Annual revisions. Employment estimates are adjusted annually to a complete count of jobs, called benchmarks, derived principally from tax reports which are submitted by employers who are covered under state unemployment insurance (UI) laws. The benchmark information is used to adjust the monthly estimates between the new benchmark and the preceding one and also to establish the level of employment for the new benchmark month. Thus, the benchmarking process establishes the level of employment, and the sample is used to measure the month-to-month changes in the level for the subsequent months. Seasonal adjustment. Seasonally adjusted payroll employment totals for states are computed by aggregating independently adjusted series for major industry divisions. Revisions of historical data for the most recent 5 years are made once a year, coincident with annual benchmark adjustments. Caution on aggregating state data. State estimation procedures are designed to produce accurate data for each individual state. BLS independently develops a national employment series; state estimates are not forced to sum to national totals. Because each state series is subject to larger sampling and nonsampling errors than the national series, summing them cumulates individual state level errors and can cause significant distortions at an aggregate level. Due to these statistical limitations, BLS does not compile a "sum-of-states" employment series, and cautions users that such a series is subject to a relatively large and volatile error structure. Reliability of the estimates The estimates presented in this release are based on sample survey and administrative data and thus are subject to sampling and other types of errors. Sampling error is a measure of sampling variability--that is, variation that occurs by chance because a sample rather than the entire population is surveyed. Survey data also are subject to nonsampling errors, such as those which can be introduced into the data collection and processing operations. Estimates not directly derived from sample surveys are subject to additional errors resulting from the special estimation processes used. The sums of individual items may not always equal the totals shown in the same tables because of rounding. With respect to the LAUS program, unemployment rates are computed, in most instances, from unrounded data rather than from data that may be displayed in the tables; differences, however, are generally insignificant. Labor force and unemployment estimates. Measures of sampling error, in the form of standard errors for state annual average estimates derived from the CPS, are available in the annual BLS bulletin, Geographic Profile of Employment and Unemployment. Measures of nonsampling error for CPS data are not available, but additional information on the subject is provided in the BLS monthly periodical, Employment and Earnings. Employment estimates. Measures of sampling error are not available for state CES data, but the relatively large size of the samples maintained by the state agencies and the annual adjustment of employment estimates to more recent benchmark levels assure a high degree of accuracy. Information on recent benchmark revisions for states is available upon request. Additional information More complete information on the technical procedures used to develop these estimates and additional data appear in Employment and Earnings, which is available by subscription for $50.00 a year from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402 (telephone 202-512-1800), and from the BLS Handbook of Methods, Bulletin 2490, August 1997. Estimates of labor force and unemployment for over 330 metropolitan areas are available in the news release, Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment. Estimates of labor force, employment, and unemployment for all states, metropolitan areas, labor market areas, counties, cities with a population of 25,000 or more, and other areas used in the administration of various federal economic assistance programs are available from the BLS Internet at (http://www.bls.gov/lau/). Employment data from the CES program are available at (http://www.bls.gov/sae/). Information in this release will be made available to sensory impaired individuals upon request.
