Technical information: Employment: (202) 691-6559 http://www.bls.gov/790home.htm Unemployment: 691-6392 http://www.bls.gov/lauhome.htm Media contact: 691-5902 USDL 01-185 For release: 10:00 A.M. EDT Tuesday, June 19, 2001 REGIONAL AND STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT: MAY 2001 Regional and state unemployment rates were generally stable in May. All four regions reported little or no change from April, and 44 states and the District of Columbia recorded shifts of 0.3 percentage point or less, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. The national jobless rate was little changed at 4.4 percent. Nonfarm employment increased in 27 states and the District of Columbia. Regional Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted) In May, the Midwest and Northeast had the lowest regional unemployment rates, 4.1 percent each, while the South followed closely with a rate of 4.2 percent. The West continued to have the highest rate, 4.7 percent. Over the year, the Midwest's jobless rate rose by 0.4 percentage point, while rates in the other three regions had little or no change. (See table 1.) Among the nine geographic divisions, New England continued to report the lowest unemployment rate, 3.2 percent in May, followed by the West North Central division, 3.5 percent. The Pacific division recorded the highest jobless rate, 5.0 percent, while the West South Central division reported the next highest rate, 4.5 percent. Over the month, the largest unemployment rate change was a 0.3 percentage point decrease in the East South Central division. Over the year, the East North Central division posted the largest increase in jobless rates, 0.5 percentage point, followed by a 0.4 point rate increase in the South Atlantic division. The Mountain, New England, and West North Central divisions each had over-theyear increases of 0.3 percentage point. State Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted) In May, unemployment rates in 30 states were below the U.S. average, while rates in 18 states and the District of Columbia were above it. Connecticut and North Dakota reported the lowest unemployment rates, 2.3 percent each. Seven other states registered rates below 3.0 percent in May. Connecticut has had the lowest or tied for the lowest unemployment rate in 10 of the last 11 months. New Mexico recorded the highest jobless rate, 5.8 percent, followed by Alaska, Louisiana, and Oregon at 5.6 percent each. (See table 3 and chart 1.) Unemployment rates were higher in May than in April in 26 states and the District of Columbia, lower in 17 states, and unchanged in 7 states. The largest jobless rate declines occurred in Alabama, -0.6 percentage point, and Hawaii and Nevada, -0.5 point each, and all increases were 0.4 point or less. Over the year, unemployment rates were up in 27 states, down in 18 states and the District of Columbia, and unchanged in 5 states. North Carolina recorded the largest rate increase from last May (1.6 percentage points), followed by Michigan (1.5 points) and New Mexico (1.1 points). Nine additional states had over-the-year increases of at least 0.5 point. - 2 Alaska posted the largest rate decline from a year ago (-1.2 percentage points), followed by Mississippi (-1.0 point). Two other states and the District of Columbia had over-the-year declines of more than one-half percentage point. Nonfarm Payroll Employment (Seasonally Adjusted) Total nonfarm payroll employment rose in 27 states and the District of Columbia and decreased in 23 states from April to May. The largest employment gains were reported in Florida (24,600), Texas (21,200), and North Carolina (9,400). Idaho experienced the largest percentage increase over the month (0.7 percent), followed by South Dakota (0.6 percent) and Alaska and Nebraska (0.4 percent each). The largest over-the-month employment decreases occurred in Michigan (-20,800), Ohio (-15,700), Illinois (-11,100), and Pennsylvania (-9,700). The largest percentage declines were recorded in Wyoming (-0.6 percent), followed by Hawaii, Michigan, North Dakota, and West Virginia (-0.4 percent each). (See table 5.) Employment increased in 41 states and the District of Columbia over the year, with 6 states reporting gains of 2.0 percent or greater. The largest employment increases were in California (342,000), Florida (217,500), and Texas (210,800). Nevada had the biggest percentage increase in employment (4.6 percent), followed by Florida (3.1 percent) and Colorado (2.8 percent). The states with the largest percentage decreases in employment were West Virginia (-1.3 percent), Mississippi (-1.1 percent), and Alabama and Oregon (-0.7 percent each). (See chart 2.) Over the year, employment increased in most industry divisions. Gains in services continued to be widespread, with all 50 states and the District of Columbia reporting increases. Manufacturing remained the weakest industry division, with 44 states posting over-the-year employment losses. Government was the only other industry division with widespread employment losses among the states, with 34 states and the District of Columbia reporting declines. ______________________________ The Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment release for May is scheduled to be issued on June 27. The Regional and State Employment and Unemployment release for June is scheduled to be issued on July 20. 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 sub-state 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://stats.bls.gov/lauhome.htm). Employment data from the CES program are available at (http://stats.bls.gov/790home.htm). Information in this release will be made available to sensory impaired individuals upon request.
