EDT Media contact: 691-5902 Friday, July 20, 2001 REGIONAL AND STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT: JUNE 2001 Regional and state unemployment rates were generally stable in June. All four regions recorded little or no change from May, and 45 states reported 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 4.5 percent in June. Nonfarm employment increased in 27 states and the District of Columbia in June. Regional Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted) In June, the Midwest, Northeast, and South each registered an unemployment rate of 4.2 percent, while the West reported a rate of 4.9 percent. Over the year, the largest increases in jobless rates occurred in the Midwest, 0.5 percentage point, and Northeast, 0.3 point. (See table 1.) Among the nine geographic divisions, New England continued to report the lowest unemployment rate, 3.2 percent in June, with the West North Central division registering the next lowest rate, 3.5 percent. The Pacific division posted the highest jobless rate, 5.2 percent. Unemployment rates in all nine divisions showed little or no change from May. Over the year, the East North Central division registered the largest increase in its jobless rate, 0.6 percentage point. The next largest rate increases were in New England, 0.4 percentage point, and the Mountain and South Atlantic divisions, 0.3 point each. State Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted) In June, unemployment rates in 32 states were below the U.S. average, while rates in 15 states and the District of Columbia were above it. Connecticut and South Dakota reported the lowest unemployment rates, 2.5 percent each. Despite increases in many state rates since the beginning of the year, no state recorded a jobless rate as high as 6.0 percent. Washington had the highest rate, 5.9 percent, followed by Alaska, 5.8 percent, and New Mexico, 5.7 percent. The District of Columbia's rate was 5.6 percent. Four of the eight states with unemployment rates over 5.0 percent were located in the Pacific division, while four of the seven states with rates below 3.0 percent were in the West North Central division. (See table 3 and chart 1.) Unemployment rates were higher over the month in 26 states and the District of Columbia, lower in 17 states, and unchanged in 7 states. No state had a rate increase larger than 0.4 percentage point, although the District of Columbia reported an increase of 0.7 point. The largest over- the-month declines in jobless rates were in Mississippi, -0.7 percentage point, and Montana, -0.5 point. These two states also registered the lowest unemployment rates in their series in June. (Virtually all region and state series begin in 1978.) Over the year, unemployment rates were up in 29 states and the District of Columbia, down in 17 states, and unchanged in 4 states. Michigan recorded the largest rate increase from last June (1.4 percentage points), followed by New Mexico and North Carolina (1.2 points each). Ten additional states had over-the-year increases of at least 0.5 percentage point. Mississippi posted the largest rate decline from a year ago (-1.8 percentage points), followed by Alaska (-1.0 point). The only other states with over-the-year declines of at least one-half percentage point were Delaware (-0.9 point) and Montana (-0.7 point). - 2 - Nonfarm Payroll Employment (Seasonally Adjusted) Total nonfarm payroll employment rose in 27 states and the District of Columbia, decreased in 22 states, and was unchanged in one state in June. The largest employment gains were reported in Texas (29,100), Florida (13,500), and South Carolina (11,900). The District of Columbia, Hawaii, Mississippi, Nevada, and South Carolina had the largest over-the-month percentage gains (0.6 percent each). The largest over-the-month employment decreases occurred in North Carolina (-11,600), Indiana (-8,700), Alabama (-7,500), and Michigan (-6,100). The largest percentage decline was recorded in Alabama (-0.4 percent), followed by Delaware, Indiana, Louisiana, Nebraska, North Carolina, and Oregon (-0.3 percent each). (See table 5.) Employment increased in 43 states and the District of Columbia over the year, with 9 states reporting gains of 2.0 percent or greater. The largest employment increases were in California (310,300), Florida (228,800), and Texas (221,400). Nevada had the biggest percentage increase in employment (5.0 percent), followed by Florida (3.2 percent) and Wyoming (2.8 percent). The states with the largest percentage decreases in employment were Indiana (-0.9 percent), Oregon (-0.8 percent), and Mississippi (-0.5 percent). (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. Construction also showed widespread employment gains, with increases in 42 states and the District of Columbia. Manufacturing remained the weakest industry division, with 44 states posting over-the-year employment losses. ____________________________ The Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment release for June is scheduled to be issued on August 1. The Regional and State Employment and Unemployment release for July is scheduled to be issued on August 17. - 3 - -------------------------------------------------------------------- | Expansion of the Current Population Survey | | (Household Survey) Sample | | | | Beginning in September 2000, the Census Bureau expanded the | | monthly sample for the Current Population Survey (CPS) to meet | | the requirements of the State Children's Health Insurance Program | | (SCHIP) legislation. This legislation requires that the Census | | Bureau improve state estimates of the number of children who live | | in low-income families and lack health insurance. These estimates | | are obtained from the Annual Demographic Supplement to the CPS. | | The expansion of the monthly CPS sample was one part of the Census | | Bureau's plan for strengthening the SCHIP estimates. The monthly | | CPS sample was increased in 31 states and the District of Columbia,| | and the total number of households eligible for the survey rose | | from about 50,000 nationally to about 60,000. The additional | | households were introduced into the survey over a 3-month period | | beginning in September 2000. | | | | In the September 2000 Employment Situation news release | | (USDL 00-284), the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) stated that it | | would not use the additional sample to produce the official labor | | force estimates prior to the release of July 2001 data in August. | | This delay would allow for sufficient time to evaluate the dif- | | ferences, if any, between estimates obtained from the current and | | the expanded household sample. BLS evaluated the monthly data | | and found no significant differences in either the national CPS | | estimates or the state model-based estimates. Thus, for both | | national and sub-national estimation, BLS is proceeding with | | implementation of the expanded sample with July estimates. | | | | As part of the implementation of the expanded sample with July | | estimates, revised state LAUS estimates for June also will reflect | | the expanded sample data. This will allow for the analysis of | | over-the-month changes on a consistent basis. Sub-state estimates,| | which are controlled to state totals, will be affected, also | | effective with the August issuance of July preliminary and June | | revised data. The state and area LAUS estimates for January | | through May will not be revised at that time. Rather, the January-| | May expanded sample will be incorporated into the LAUS estimates | | as part of the annual LAUS end-of-year benchmarking of 2001 data. | | | | The August 2001 issue of Employment and Earnings will contain an | | article discussing this sample expansion in more detail. | -------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 labor- management 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 Angeles- Long 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.
