STATE AND METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT:

FEBRUARY 1995

Unemployment rates in February 1995 were lower than a month earlier in
28 states and the District of Columbia, higher in 16 states, and unchanged
in 6 states, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor
reported today. The national unemployment rate was 5.4 percent, the same
as last December, after rising to 5.7 percent in January. Nonfarm payroll
employment rose in 41 states over the month.
State Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted)
Two states--Florida and New Jersey--had unemployment rate declines of
more than 1.0 percentage point in February. In addition, California's
jobless rate decreased 0.9 percentage point, while the Mississippi and
Arizona rates were down 0.8 point. In the case of Florida, February marked
the third consecutive monthly decline in joblessness, while, in California
and New Jersey, the current drops reversed increases in the previous month.
The Arizona and Mississippi declines followed similar drops in January.
North Carolina had the largest over-the-month increase, 0.8 percentage
point, followed closely by Montana's 0.7 point rise.
Compared with February a year earlier, 45 states and the District of
Columbia experienced unemployment rate decreases. Maine and Michigan had
the largest declines, more than 2.0 percentage points; 25 states

experienced declines ranging from 1.0 to 1.9 points. Arkansas's rate was
unchanged over the year, and, in the four states with higher rates--Idaho,
Montana, Pennsylvania, and Utah, the rates were up only marginally (less
than half a percentage point).
Nebraska, with a February rate of 2.2 percent, continued to have the
lowest incidence of unemployment in the nation, followed by South Dakota
and Colorado, at 2.9 and 3.1 percent, respectively. A total of 18 states
had unemployment rates below 4.5 percent; a year earlier, only six states
reported rates that low. West Virginia had the highest rate (8.2 percent),
followed by the District of Columbia (7.7 percent) and Alaska and
California (both 7.3 percent). (See table 1 and chart 1.)
Nonfarm Payroll Employment (Seasonally Adjusted)
Forty-one states recorded gains in total nonfarm employment in
February. Arizona had the largest over-the-month increase in total nonfarm
employment (0.8 percent), followed by California and Missouri (both 0.7
percent). Of the nine states (plus the District of Columbia) that
experienced over-the-month job losses, Idaho had the largest decrease (-2.0
percent), while the others were all small (-0.3 percent or less).
- 2 Over-the-month employment growth continued in the goods-producing
sector, where 30 states reported gains in manufacturing, while only 14
states reported gains in construction. Thirty-seven states had over-themonth increases in transportation and public utilities. Moderate
employment growth continued in wholesale and retail trade and finance,
insurance, and real estate, where about one-half of the states reported
over-the-month employment gains. The services industry resumed its usual
strong growth, with 45 states reporting over-the-month increases. Of the
states experiencing February employment declines, most were attributable to
reductions in construction and nondurable goods. (See table 3.)
States in the Pacific division--led by California--had the strongest
over-the-month total nonfarm employment growth, while the New England and
Middle Atlantic divisions had the slowest growth. The Central divisions
had modest over-the-month growth.
Over the past year, job gains ranged from a robust 6.8 percent in
Nevada to only 0.1 percent in Hawaii. States in the Mountain division had
very strong growth in nonfarm jobs over this period, while the New England,
Middle Atlantic, and Pacific divisions had comparatively small gains. The
District of Columbia experienced no employment growth. (See chart 2.)

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 Areas (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
Of the 271 areas for which February data are available, 92 had
unemployment rates below 4.5 percent, while 31 had rates of 7.8 percent and
above. Madison, Wis., continued to have the lowest rate (2.2 percent),
followed closely by Lincoln, Neb. (2.3 percent), Iowa City, Iowa (2.4
percent), and Omaha, Neb. (2.5 percent). Salinas, Calif., had the highest
unemployment rate (16.8 percent), with Modesto, Calif. (16.6 percent), and
McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, Tex. (16.5 percent), close behind. McAllenEdinburg-Mission, Tex., also experienced the largest over-the-year change
(down 6.1 percentage points), and six other areas were down 3.0 to 3.5
points. Williamsport, Pa., had the largest unemployment rate increase--1.1
percentage points. No other area had a rate increase of more than 0.5
point. (See table 5.)
