stores. Building Material and Garden Supply Stores account for a little more than 10 percent of the workers in retail trade with more than 5,500 workers.

Nonstore Retailers have had the largest percentage of growth in establishments over the last 15 years in the Retail Trade sector.

Opportunities will continue to emerge in the Retail Trade sector as technology advances. How we shop may change over time; however, everyone will continue to shop as we simply need things. Retail Trade is projected to continue growing according to the 2014-2024 industry projections (long-term) in South Dakota. Everyone will continue to shop out of necessity. Some may shop to pass the time. Some like to shop as hobby. Shopping is here to stay.

South Dakota Unemployment Rates by CountyNot seasonally adjustedJanuary 2017

Notes about labor force data

The unemployment rate represents the number of unemployed as a percent of the labor force. People are classified as unemployed if they do not have jobs, have actively looked for work in the prior four weeks and are currently available for work. People who were not working and were waiting to be recalled to jobs from which they were temporarily laid off are also included as unemployed.

Labor force estimates for South Dakota are produced by the Labor Market Information Center in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The concepts and definitions underlying the labor force data come from the Current Population Survey (CPS), the household survey which is the official measure of the labor force for the nation. The statewide estimate of the number of nonfarm jobs is a component of the model used to produce the labor force estimates. Other data used in this model include the number of continued unemployment insurance claims and survey data from the Current Population Survey (CPS) which is specific to the state.

Although state specific data is used in the production of the labor force estimates for South Dakota, the state monthly model estimates are controlled in "real time" to sum to national monthly labor force estimates from the CPS. Therefore, variation in the estimates of the employed and unemployed are somewhat controlled by what is happening nationally.
