Internet address: http://stats.bls.gov/newsrels.htm Technical information: USDL 00-370 Employment (202) 691-6559 Unemployment 691-6392 For release: 10:00 A.M. EST Media contact: 691-5902 Friday, December 22, 2000 REGIONAL AND STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT: NOVEMBER 2000 Regional and state unemployment rates generally were stable in November. All four regions posted virtually no change over the month, and 38 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 essentially unchanged at 4.0 percent. Nonfarm employment increased in 42 states and the District of Columbia in November. Regional Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted) In November, the Midwest again recorded the lowest regional unemployment rate, 3.5 percent, while the West continued to report the highest rate, 4.5 percent. Over the year, jobless rates were little changed in three regions and down by 0.4 percentage point in the Northeast. (See table 1.) November marked the third straight month and the fifth time this year that New England had the lowest unemployment rate of the nine geographic divisions, a distinction the West North Central had held throughout the entire 1990s. New England's jobless rate in November was 2.4 percent, well below the West North Central's 3.0 percent. The Pacific division continued to have the highest rate, 4.7 percent, closely followed by the East South Central at 4.5 percent. Over the month, the unemployment rate in the East South Central division edged up by 0.3 percentage point, while rates in the other divisions showed little change. Relative to a year ago, New England experienced the largest rate decrease, -0.8 percentage point, reaching a new series low for the second straight month. The West North Central division recorded the largest over-the-year increase, 0.3 percentage point. State Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted) November was the first month that any state recorded a jobless rate under 2.0 percent; Connecticut reported the lowest jobless rate, 1.7 percent, closely followed by New Hampshire at 1.8 percent. (Virtually all regional and state series begin in 1978.) Five additional states had rates of 2.5 percent or less: Virginia (2.1 percent), South Dakota (2.3 percent), and Indiana, Iowa, and Maine (2.5 percent each). In November, seven states registered the lowest rates in their series--Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Maine, New Hampshire, Oregon, and Virginia. The highest unemployment rates were in Alaska and Louisiana, both 6.0 percent, and Mississippi and West Virginia, both 5.9 percent. Overall, unemployment rates in 31 states were below the U.S. average, while rates in 18 states and the District of Columbia were above it. (See table 3 and chart 1.) - 2 Unemployment rates were lower over the month in 17 states and the District of Columbia, higher in 24 states, and unchanged in 9 states. Oregon recorded the largest over-the-month decrease, -1.2 percentage points, followed by Maine, -1.0 point. New Hampshire, Georgia, and Missouri also reported declines of 0.5 percentage point or more. Louisiana had the largest over-the-month rate increase, 0.7 percentage point, followed by Mississippi, 0.6 point, and Arkansas, Illinois, and North Dakota, 0.5 point each. Over the year, unemployment rates were down in 26 states and the District of Columbia, up in 17 states, and unchanged in 7 states. South Carolina posted the largest rate decline from a year ago, -1.7 percentage points, followed by Hawaii, -1.4 points. Three additional states had decreases of at least one percentage point, and seven other states registered declines of one-half point or more. Louisiana reported the largest rate increase over the year, 1.5 percentage points, followed by four states with rate increases ranging between 0.5 and 0.9 point. Nonfarm Payroll Employment (Seasonally Adjusted) Total nonfarm employment rose in 42 states and the District of Columbia, decreased in 7 states, and was unchanged in 1 state. The largest employment increases occurred in California (29,200), Texas (27,300), and Florida (18,300). Maine reported the greatest percentage increase over the month (0.9 percent), followed by Idaho (0.8 percent) and South Carolina and Wyoming (0.7 percent each). The largest employment declines were in Arizona (-6,100), North Carolina (-3,000), and Alabama (-2,600). The largest percentage declines were recorded in Alaska (-0.6 percent) and Arizona (-0.3 percent). (See table 5.) Employment increased in 47 states and the District of Columbia over the year, with 19 states reporting gains of 2.0 percent or greater. The largest employment increases were in California (443,300), Florida (261,000), and Texas (251,200). The biggest percentage increases occurred in Nevada (4.5 percent), followed by Florida and Arizona (3.7 percent each) and Idaho (3.5 percent). The three states that reported over-the-year decreases in employment were Nebraska (-1.0 percent), Mississippi (-0.9 percent), and North Dakota (-0.2 percent). (See chart 2.) Over the year, employment continued to grow in most industry divisions. Gains in services continued to be the most widespread, with 48 states and the District of Columbia posting increases. Manufacturing continued to be the weakest industry division, with 35 states reporting over-the-year employment losses. ______________________________ The Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment release for November 2000 is scheduled to be issued on Jan. 3, 2001. The Regional and State Employment and Unemployment release for December 2000 is scheduled to be issued on Jan. 19, 2001. Release dates for Regional and State Employment and Unemployment for the balance of 2001 are as follows: March 1 March 27 April 20 Technical Note May 18 June 19 July 20 Aug. 17 Sept. 21 Oct. 23 Nov. 20 Dec. 21 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 $40.00 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.
