REGIONAL AND STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT: NOVEMBER 2006
Regional and state unemployment rates were generally little changed in
November. Overall, 28 states and the District of Columbia recorded over-
the-month unemployment rate increases, 10 states registered decreases, and
12 states had no change, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Depart-
ment of Labor reported today. Over the year, jobless rates were down in 37
states, up in 8 states, and unchanged in 5 states and the District of Columbia.
The national unemployment rate was essentially unchanged in November at 4.5
percent, but was 0.5 percentage point lower than a year earlier.
Nonfarm payroll employment increased in 43 states and the District of
Columbia, decreased in 5 states, and was unchanged in 2 states in November.
The largest employment increases were recorded in Florida (+19,500), Texas
(+16,400), California (+15,900), Minnesota (+12,300), Georgia (+9,000), and
Pennsylvania (+8,700). Hawaii recorded the largest over-the-month percentage
increase in employment (+0.7 percent), followed by Idaho (+0.6 percent), the
District of Columbia (+0.5 percent), and Minnesota, Nevada, and North Dakota
(+0.4 percent each). The only employment decreases occurred in Illinois (-500),
North Carolina (-400), Kentucky and Vermont (-300 each), and Arkansas (-200).
Vermont experienced the largest over-the-month percentage decline in employment
(-0.1 percent), while Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, and North Carolina each re-
ported employment losses of less than -0.1 percent. Over the year, nonfarm em-
ployment increased in 49 states and the District of Columbia and decreased in 1
state (Michigan, -27,000 or -0.6 percent). The largest over-the-year percentage
gains in employment were reported in Wyoming (+4.9 percent), Nevada (+4.6 percent),
Arizona and Utah (+4.5 percent each), and Montana (+4.4 percent).
Regional Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted)
In November, the Midwest again registered the highest unemployment rate
among the four regions, 4.8 percent. The South and West recorded the
lowest rates, 4.4 percent each, followed closely by the Northeast, at 4.5
percent. The Northeast was the only region to record a statistically
significant unemployment rate change from October (+0.3 percentage point).
In contrast, all four regions posted significantly lower unemployment rates
than a year earlier: the South (-0.6 percentage point), Midwest and West
(-0.5 point each), and Northeast (-0.3 point). (See table 1.)
- 2 -
Among the nine geographic divisions, those with the highest November
unemployment rates were the East North Central, 5.2 percent, and East South
Central, 5.0 percent. The Mountain division recorded the lowest rate, 3.8
percent, followed by the South Atlantic and West North Central, 4.1 percent
each. No division registered a statistically significant over-the-month
rate change. Eight of the nine divisions reported significant unemployment
rate changes from a year earlier: the West South Central (-1.1 percentage
points), East South Central (-0.7 point), Middle Atlantic, Mountain, and
Pacific (-0.5 point each), East North Central and West North Central (-0.4
point each), and South Atlantic (-0.2 point).
State Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted)
Mississippi reported the highest unemployment rate in November, 7.5
percent, followed by Michigan, 6.9 percent, and South Carolina, 6.6 per-
cent. Hawaii and Utah again recorded the lowest unemployment rates, 2.3
and 2.6 percent, respectively. Ten other states registered jobless rates
below 3.5 percent. Montana posted the lowest jobless rate in its series,
2.8 percent. (All state series begin in 1976.) Seventeen states registered
unemployment rates that were significantly below the U.S. rate in November,
7 states and the District of Columbia recorded measurably higher rates, and
26 states had rates that were statistically little different from that of
the nation. (See tables A and 3.)
Mississippi registered the largest over-the-month unemployment rate in-
crease in November (+0.8 percentage point). Five additional states also
recorded significant rate increases from October: Tennessee (+0.5 per-
centage point), Massachusetts (+0.4 point), Florida and Pennsylvania
(+0.2 point each), and Idaho (+0.1 point). Montana posted the only
statistically significant over-the-month jobless rate decrease (-0.8
percentage point). The remaining 43 states and the District of Columbia
reported November unemployment rates that were not appreciably different
from those of a month earlier, even though some had changes that were at
least as large numerically as those with statistically significant changes.
Louisiana and Mississippi recorded the largest over-the-year jobless
rate decreases from November 2005 (-7.6 and -2.1 percentage points, re-
spectively). These were the states most affected by Hurricane Katrina.
The states with the next largest decreases from a year earlier were Utah
(-1.4 percentage points) and Illinois, Iowa, and Montana (-1.1 points each).
Twenty-three additional states had smaller, but also statistically signi-
ficant, rate decreases. Three states reported significant unemployment
rate increases from a year earlier--Arkansas (+0.4 percentage point) and
Nevada and Vermont (+0.3 point each). Eighteen states and the District of
Columbia recorded jobless rates that were not appreciably different from
those of November 2005. (See table B.)

Nonfarm Payroll Employment (Seasonally Adjusted)
Between October and November, three states and the District of Columbia
reported statistically significant changes in employment, all of which were
increases. The gains were in Minnesota (+12,300), Hawaii (+4,400), Idaho
(+4,000), and the District of Columbia (+3,800). (See tables C and 5.)
Over the year, 33 states and the District of Columbia posted statistically
significant increases in employment. The largest employment gains occurred in
Florida (+211,400), Texas (+204,300), California (+156,600), and Arizona (+115,600).
Five states and the District of Columbia recorded statistically significant gains in
employment that were less than 15,000: Wyoming (+12,900), the District of Columbia
(+10,300), South Dakota (+9,600), West Virginia (+8,300), North Dakota (+6,700), and
Alaska (+6,000). (See table D.)

| Hurricane Katrina |
| |
| For November, BLS and its state partners continued to make |
| modifications to the usual estimation procedures for the LAUS |
| program to reflect the impact of Hurricane Katrina on the labor |
| force statistics in affected areas. These modifications included: |
| (1) allowing the state labor force estimates for Louisiana to re- |
| flect the effects of Katrina by overriding the built-in feature |
| of the methodology that smoothes over large shifts in a key input-- |
| nonfarm wage and salary employment; (2) modifying the state popula- |
| tion controls to account for displacement due to Katrina; (3) devel- |
| oping labor force estimates for the New Orleans-Metairie-Kenner met- |
| ropolitan area using an alternative to the model-based method; and |
| (4) not publishing labor force estimates for the parishes within the |
| New Orleans-Metairie-Kenner metropolitan area or cities within those |
| parishes where the quality of input data was severely compromised by |
| the hurricane. |

Technical Note
This release presents labor force and unemployment data for census
regions and divisions, states, and selected substate areas 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 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 had a job from which they were temporarily absent,
whether or not paid, for such reasons as labor-management dispute, illness,
or vacation. Unemployed persons are those who did not work at all (in the
reference week), had actively looked for a job (sometime in the 4-week
period ending with the reference week), and were currently available for work;
persons on layoff expecting recall need not be looking for work to be counted
as unemployed.
Method of estimation. Estimates for all census divisions, states, the
District of Columbia, the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale metropolitan
division, and New York City are produced using estimating equations based
on regression techniques. This method, which underwent substantial enhance-
ment at the beginning of 2005, utilizes data from several sources, including
the CPS, the CES, and state unemployment insurance (UI) data. Estimates for
the six other areas contained in this release use a different regression
approach. A detailed description of the estimation procedures is available
from BLS upon request. Estimates for census regions are obtained by summing
the model-based estimates for the component divisions 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 implemented
with January estimates. The adjusted estimates reflect updated population
data from the U.S. Census Bureau, any revisions in the other data sources,
and model reestimation.
Seasonal adjustment. Seasonal adjustment of census division, state, and
substate area model employment and unemployment levels is performed within
the modeling procedure. The model estimation is based on the classical ap-
proach to seasonal adjustment, in which the series is decomposed into trend,
seasonal, irregular, and survey error. This directly yields seasonally ad-
justed estimates for employment and unemployment levels with reliability
measures. Labor force levels and unemployment rates are calculated from
these two estimates. Additionally, measures for the State of California are
derived by summing the seasonally adjusted estimates for the Los Angeles-Long
Beach-Glendale metropolitan division and the balance of California, and the
estimates for the State of New York are the sum of the estimates for New York
City and the balance of New York. Labor force estimates for census regions
are calculated as the sum of the levels of the component divisions, and the
unemployment rate is then calculated. In most years, historical data for the
most recent 5 years are revised near the beginning of each calendar year,
usually coincident with the release of January estimates.
Area definitions. The substate area data published in this release reflect
the standards and definitions established by the U.S. Office of Management and
Budget on December 5, 2005. A detailed list of the geographic definitions is
available on the Web at http://www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm and also is published
annually in the May issue of Employment and Earnings.

Employment--from the CES program
Definitions. Employment data refer to persons on establishment payrolls
who receive pay for any part of the pay period that includes the 12th 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
activity in accordance with the 2002 version of the North American Industry
Classification System.
Method of estimation. The employment data are estimated using a "link
relative" technique in which a ratio (link relative) of current-month em-
ployment to that of the previous month is computed from a sample of estab-
lishments 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 that 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. Payroll employment data are seasonally adjusted at
the statewide supersector level. In some states, the seasonally adjusted
payroll employment total is computed by aggregating the independently ad-
justed supersector series. In other states, the seasonally adjusted pay-
roll employment total is independently adjusted. 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 inde-
pendently 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 dis-
tortions 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, ad-
ministrative data, and modeling 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 specific 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, unem-
ployment rates are computed from unrounded data rather than from data that
may be displayed in the tables; differences, however, are generally insig-
nificant.
- 9 -
Use of error measures. In 2005, the Local Area Unemployment Statistics
(LAUS) program introduced several improvements to its methodology. Among
these was the development of model-based error measures for the monthly
estimates and the estimates of over-the-month changes. The introductory
section of this release preserves the long-time practice of highlighting
the direction of the movements in regional and state unemployment rates
and state nonfarm payroll employment regardless of their statistical sig-
nificance. The remainder of the analysis in the release takes the statis-
tical significance of monthly and annual changes into consideration.
Labor force and unemployment estimates. Model-based error measures for
both seasonally adjusted and not seasonally adjusted data, and for over-the-
month change, are available on the BLS Web site at http://www.bls.gov/lau/
lastderr.htm. BLS uses a 90-percent confidence level in determining whether
changes in LAUS unemployment rates are statistically significant. The average
magnitude of the over-the-month change in a state unemployment rate that is
required in order to be statistically significant at the 90-percent confidence
level is between 0.3 and 0.4 percentage point. More details can be found on
the Web site. Measures of nonsampling error are not available, but additional
information on the subject is provided in the BLS monthly periodical, Employ-
ment and Earnings.
Employment estimates. Measures of sampling error for state CES data at the
total nonfarm and supersector level and for metropolitan area CES data at the
total nonfarm level are available on the BLS Web site at http://www.bls.gov/
sae/790stderr.htm. BLS uses a 90-percent confidence level in determining
whether changes in CES employment levels are statistically significant. In-
formation on recent benchmark revisions for states is available on the BLS
Web site at http://www.bls.gov/sae/.
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 from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Gov-
ernment Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402 (telephone 202-512-1800), and

Estimates of labor force and unemployment, as well as nonfarm employment
from the CES program, for over 370 metropolitan areas and metropolitan New
England City and Town Areas (NECTAs) 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 on the BLS Web site at http://www.bls.
gov/lau/. Employment data from the CES program are available at http:
