Unemployment rates by state and selected metropolitan areas, not seasonally adjusted-Continued Technical information: USDL 96-202 Employment (202) 606-6559 Unemployment 606-6392 Media contact: 606-5902 For release: 10:00 A.M. EDT Wednesday, May 29, 1996 STATE AND METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT: APRIL 1996 Unemployment rates were little changed in most states in April, as 44 states recorded changes of 0.3 percentage point or less, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. The national unemployment rate was 5.4 percent in April, down from 5.6 percent in March. Nonfarm payroll employment increased in 21 states over the month. State Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted) Only two states experienced unemployment rate increases of 0.5 percentage point or more. South Carolina's rate climbed 0.6 point to 5.5 percent, and Montana's rate rose 0.5 point to 5.7 percent. Also, only two states showed jobless rate decreases of 0.5 percentage point or more between March and April. The rate in Alaska dropped 0.7 percentage point to 7.2 percent, while Ohio's rate dipped 0.6 point to 4.5 percent. Over the year, 28 states and the District of Columbia recorded unemployment rate declines, while 12 states showed increases. Rhode Island had the largest drop in its unemployment rate by far, as its rate fell 1.7 percentage points to 5.1 percent. Louisiana (at 6.3 percent) and Michigan (at 4.6 percent) had the next largest declines, 0.9 percentage point each. Rates in 11 additional states and the District of Columbia decreased by 0.5 percentage point or more. Oregon registered the largest rise over the year (0.7 percentage point), followed by South Carolina and New Mexico (both 0.6 point) and Delaware (0.5 point). In April, Nebraska recorded the lowest unemployment rate, 2.9 percent. Utah had the second lowest rate, 3.1 percent, followed by North Dakota and South Dakota, both at 3.2 percent. Six other states registered rates of less than 4.0 percent. At 8.4 percent, the District of Columbia again had the highest jobless rate, followed by West Virginia (7.7 percent), California (7.5 percent), and Alaska (7.2 percent). For the seventh straight month, only these four areas had rates as high as 7.0 percent. Overall, 34 states posted unemployment rates below that of the U.S., while 15 states and the District of Columbia had higher rates. Nonfarm Payroll Employment (Seasonally Adjusted) Nonfarm payroll employment rose in 21 states in April. Delaware reported the largest percentage increase (1.5 percent), followed by Idaho (1.0 percent), Utah (0.7 percent), and Nevada (0.6 percent). Delaware's gain - 2 - was largely due to the return of workers in transportation equipment manufacturing who were idle in March. Tennessee reported the largest percentage decline (-0.9 percent), followed by Alaska (-0.8 percent). A significant portion of Tennessee's loss was attributable to the layoff of temporary poll workers who were hired for the March presidential primary in that state. Over the year, nonfarm employment increased in 49 states, with only Hawaii and the District of Columbia experiencing losses. California continued to lead the country in over-the-year job growth (274,700), followed by Texas (244,400) and Florida (186,200). Employment growth has been relatively modest east of the Mississippi River, with only 4 out of 26 states reporting increases of greater than 2 percent. This is in contrast to the western part of the country, in which two-thirds of the 24 states reported employment increases exceeding 2 percent. (See chart 2.) NOTE: Monthly payroll employment data are provided on a seasonally adjusted basis for all states and the District of Columbia, permitting both current and over-the-year comparisons of the data. The state data are intended for individual state analyses only. Because the state data are not designed for national aggregation, a summation could present a misleading picture of national trends. (See Technical Note.) Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted) Of the 272 areas for which April data are available, 95 had unemployment rates below 4.0 percent, while 30 had rates of 7.0 percent or higher. The lowest rates were in Madison, Wis. (1.8 percent), Charlottesville, Va. (1.9 percent), Sioux Falls, S.D. (2.0 percent), and Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, N.C. (2.1 percent). At 18.4 percent, McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, Tex., continued to have the highest unemployment rate, followed by two areas in California--Modesto (16.1 percent) and Fresno (14.7 percent). Over the year, Bloomington, Ind., experienced the largest drop in its jobless rate (2.7 percentage points), followed by San Jose, Calif. (1.8 points), and Lake Charles, La. (1.7 points). Rates in 29 other areas declined by 1.0 percentage point or more. Dubuque, Iowa, had the largest over-the-year increase, as its rate climbed 2.6 points, followed by El Paso, Tex., up 2.5 percentage points. Five other areas posted rate increases of 1.0 percentage point or more.
