REGIONAL AND STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT – SEPTEMBER 2010 Regional and state unemployment rates were little changed in September. Twenty-three states and the District of Columbia recorded unemployment rate decreases, 11 states registered rate increases, and 16 states had no rate change, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Twenty-nine states and the District of Columbia posted unemployment rate decreases from a year earlier, 16 states reported increases, and 5 states had no change. The national jobless rate was unchanged in September at 9.6 percent and also little different from a year earlier (9.8 percent). In September, nonfarm payroll employment decreased in 34 states and increased in 16 states and the District of Columbia. The largest over-the-month employment decreases were in California (-63,500), New York (-37,600), Massachusetts (-20,900), and New Jersey (-20,200). The largest over-the-month percentage decreases in employment occurred in Utah (-0.8 percent), and Maine and Massachusetts (-0.7 percent each). The largest over-the-month increases in employment occurred in the District of Columbia (+16,500), North Carolina (+10,100), Illinois (+8,600), Pennsylvania (+7,200), and New Mexico (+7,100). The largest over-the-month percentage increases in employment were in the District of Columbia (+2.3 percent), New Mexico (+0.9 percent), and New Hampshire (+0.8 percent). Over the year, nonfarm payroll employment increased in 32 states and the District of Columbia and decreased in 18 states. The largest over-the-year percentage increases in employment were reported in the District of Columbia (+3.3 percent), followed by New Hampshire (+2.8 percent) and Oklahoma (+1.7 percent). The largest over-the-year percentage decrease in employment occurred in Nevada (-1.8 percent), followed by Maine, New Jersey, and Rhode Island (-1.1 percent each), and Colorado (-1.0 percent). Regional Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted) The West reported the highest regional unemployment rate in September, 10.9 percent, while the North-east recorded the lowest rate, 8.6 percent. The Northeast experienced the only statistically significant over-the-month unemployment rate change (-0.2 percentage point). The Midwest was the only region to register a significant rate change from a year earlier (-0.7 percentage point). (See table 1.) Among the nine geographic divisions, the Pacific continued to report the highest jobless rate, 11.6 percent in September. The West North Central registered the lowest rate, 7.1 percent, followed by the West South Central, at 7.9 percent. The only division with a statistically significant over-the-month unemployment rate change was New England (-0.2 percentage point). Over the year, two divisions

posted measurable rate decreases―the East South Central (-1.2 percentage points) and the East North Central (-0.8 point). The Mountain division experienced the only statistically significant unemployment rate increase from a year earlier (+0.6 percentage point). State Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted) In September, Nevada’s unemployment rate held at 14.4 percent, again the highest among the states. The states with the next highest rates were Michigan, 13.0 percent, and California, 12.4 percent. North Dakota continued to register the lowest jobless rate, 3.7 percent, followed by South Dakota and Nebraska, at 4.4 and 4.6 percent, respectively. In total, 26 states posted jobless rates significantly lower than the U.S. figure of 9.6 percent, 7 states recorded measurably higher rates, and 17 states and the District of Columbia had rates that were not appreciably different from that of the nation. (See tables A and 3 and chart 1.) In September, five states experienced statistically significant unemployment rate decreases from August: Massachusetts (-0.4 percentage point); Maine (-0.3 point); and New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Texas (-0.2 point each). Maryland and Florida posted the only measurable over-the-month rate increases (+0.2 and +0.1 percentage point, respectively). The remaining 43 states and the District of Columbia registered jobless rates that were not measurably different from those of a month earlier, though some had changes that were at least as large numerically as the significant changes. Nine states and the District of Columbia reported statistically significant over-the-year jobless rate decreases in September, the largest of which were in Alabama (-1.8 percentage points) and Michigan and Tennessee (-1.4 points each). Montana and Florida recorded the only significant rate increases from September 2009 (+0.9 and +0.7 percentage point, respectively). The remaining 39 states registered unemployment rates that were not appreciably different from those of a year earlier. (See table B.) Nonfarm Payroll Employment (Seasonally Adjusted) Between August and September, 16 states and the District of Columbia recorded statistically significant changes in employment. The largest over-the-month statistically significant job gain occurred in the District of Columbia (+16,500). The largest over-the-month statistically significant job losses occurred in California (-63,500) and New York (-37,600). (See tables C and 5.) Over the year, seven states and the District of Columbia reported statistically significant employment increases, while one state experienced a statistically significant decline in employment. The largest statistically significant over-the-year employment increases were posted in Texas (+152,800), North Carolina (+49,300), and Indiana (+39,200). The only statistically significant job loss occurred in New Jersey (-42,300). (See table D.) ____________ The Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment news release for September is scheduled to be released on Wednesday, November 3, 2010, at 10:00 a.m. (EDT). The Regional and State Employment and Unemployment news release for October is scheduled to be released on Tuesday, November 23, 2010, at 10:00 a.m. (EST).

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 to 4). Also presented are nonfarm payroll employment estimates by state and major industry sector from the Current Employment Statistics (CES) pro-gram (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 LAUS program measures employment and unemployment on a place-of-residence basis. The universe for each is the civilian noninstitutional population 16 years of age and over. 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 were not employed during the reference week (based on the definition above), 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. The labor force is the sum of employed and unemployed persons. The unemployment rate is the number of unemployed as a percent of the labor force.

Method of es timation. Estimates for 48 of the 50

states, the District of Columbia, the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale metropolitan division, New York City, and the balances of California and New York State are produced using estimating equations based on regression techniques. This method, which underwent substantial enhancement at the beginning of 2005, utilizes data from several sources, including the CPS, the CES, and state unemployment insurance (UI) programs. Estimates for the state of California are derived by summing the estimates for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale metropolitan division and the balance of California. Similarly, estimates for New York State are derived by summing the estimates for New York City and the balance of New York State. Estimates for all nine census divisions and the five additional substate areas contained in this release (the Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor and Detroit-Warren-Livonia metropolitan areas and the Chicago-Joliet-Naperville, Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall, and Seattle-Bellevue-Everett metropolitan divisions) and their respective

balances of state are based on a similar regression approach that does not incorporate CES or UI data. Estimates for census regions are obtained by summing the model-based estimates for the component divisions and then calculating the unemployment rate. Each month, census division esti-mates are controlled to national totals; state estimates are then controlled to their respective division totals. Substate and balance-of-state estimates for the five areas noted above are controlled to their respective state totals. Estimates for Puerto Rico are derived from a monthly household survey similar to the CPS. A detailed description of the estimation procedures is available from BLS upon request.

Annual revisions. Labor force and unemployment data

for prior years reflect adjustments made at the end of each year. The adjusted estimates reflect updated population data from the U.S. Census Bureau, any revisions in the other data sources, and model reestimation. In most years, historical data for the most recent five years (both seasonally adjusted and not seasonally adjusted) are revised near the beginning of each calendar year, prior to or coincident with the release of January estimates.

Seasonal ad justment. The LAUS program introduced

smoothed-seasonally-adjusted (SSA) estimates in January 2010. These are seasonally-adjusted data that have incur-porated a long-run trend smoothing procedure, resulting in estimates that are less volatile than those previously pro-duced. The estimates are smoothed using a Henderson Trend Filter (H13). The H13 uses a filtering procedure, based on moving averages, to remove the irregular fluctuations from the seasonally-adjusted series, leaving the trend. The same process is used on both historical and current year estimates.

Seasonally-adjusted labor force estimates from January 1976 through December 2009 were replaced with the SSA estimates for all four census regions, nine census divisions, all States, the District of Columbia, New York City, the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale metropolitan division, and the respective balances of New York and California. Seasonally-adjusted estimates for the Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor and Detroit-Warren-Livonia metropolitan areas and the Chicago-Joliet-Naperville, Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall, and Seattle-Bellevue-Everett metropolitan divisions and the respective balances of Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Florida, and Washington were also replaced from January 1983 through December 2009. For more information about the smoothing technique and the reasons behind the change, see the BLS Web site at www.bls.gov/lau/lassaqa.htm.

Area de finitions. 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 1, 2009. A detailed list of the geographic definitions is available on the Internet at www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm.

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 2007 version of the North American Industry Classification System.

Method of e stimation. 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. Small-domain models are used as the official estimators for the approximately 39 percent of CES published series which have insufficient sample for direct sample-based estimates.

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 ad justment. 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 adjusted super-sector series. In other states, the seasonally adjusted payroll 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 o n a ggregating st ate d ata. 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 surveys, administrative 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. Unemployment rates are computed from unrounded data and thus may differ slightly from rates computed using the rounded data displayed in the tables.

Use of error measures. In 2005, the LAUS program

introduced several improvements to its methodology. Among these were 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 significance. The remainder of the analysis in the release takes statistical significance into consideration.

Labor force and unempl oyment estim ates. Model-

based error measures for both seasonally adjusted and not seasonally adjusted data and for over-the-month changes are available online at 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 current year 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 just over 0.2 percentage point. The average amount of the current over-the-year change in a state unemployment rate to be considered statistically significant is between 0.8 and 0.9 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 Employment and Earnings Online at www.bls.gov/opub/ee/home.htm.

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 online at www.bls.gov/sae/790stderr.htm. BLS uses a 90-percent confidence level in determining whether changes in CES employment levels are statistically significant. Information on recent benchmark revisions for states is available on the Internet at 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 Online.

Estimates of labor force and unemployment from the LAUS program, as well as nonfarm employment from the CES program, for over 300 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 Internet at www.bls.gov/lau/. Employment data from the CES program are available on the Internet at www.bls.gov/sae/.
