Technical information: Employment: (202)691-6559 USDL 02-401 http://www.bls.gov/sae/ Unemployment: 691-6392 http://www.bls.gov/lau/ For release: 10:00 A.M. EDT Media contact: 691-5902 Tuesday, July 23, 2002 REGIONAL AND STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT: JUNE 2002 Most regional and state unemployment rates were stable from May to June and remained higher than a year earlier. All 4 regions reported little or no change from May, and 43 states recorded 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, 5.9 percent, was essentially unchanged in June. Nonfarm employment increased in 25 states in June. Regional Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted) In June, the Midwest, Northeast, and South regions each recorded unemployment rates of 5.3 percent, while the West continued to experience the highest rate, 6.1 percent. All four regions posted rate increases from last June, ranging from 0.6 percentage point in the South to 1.0 point in the Northeast and West. (See table 1.) Among the nine geographic divisions, New England and the West North Central continued to register the lowest unemployment rates, 4.3 percent each in June. At least one of these two divisions has recorded the lowest divisional rate every month since 1982. The Pacific again had the highest jobless rate, 6.4 percent. The West South Central division posted an over- the-month rate decline of -0.4 percentage point, while the remaining divisions reported little or no change. Over the year, the Middle Atlantic and Mountain divisions registered the largest jobless rate increases (+1.1 percentage points each), closely followed by the East North Central and Pacific divisions (+1.0 point each). State Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted) Among the 50 states, South Dakota continued to record the lowest unemployment rate, 2.9 percent, followed by North Dakota, 3.2 percent. Oregon and Washington, with the highest state jobless rates for the past 10 months, posted rates of 7.2 and 6.8 percent, respectively. Alaska and North Carolina closely followed at 6.7 percent each. (See table 3 and chart 1.) Over the month, unemployment rates decreased in 26 states and the District of Columbia, increased in 16 states, and were unchanged in 8 states. Rhode Island recorded the largest rate decline (-0.6 percentage point). The largest over-the-month increases occurred in Alaska (+0.7 percentage point) and Missouri (+0.6 point). No other state reported a rate change greater than 0.4 percentage point in either direction. Compared with last June, jobless rates were higher in 42 states, lower in 4 states and the District of Columbia, and unchanged in 4 states. Colorado and New Mexico posted the largest over-the-year rate increases (+1.6 percentage points each). Fourteen other states experienced increases of 1.0 percentage point or more. Rhode Island recorded the largest rate decline (-0.8 percentage point), followed by the District of Columbia (-0.5 point). - 2 - Nonfarm Payroll Employment (Seasonally Adjusted) Total nonfarm employment increased in 25 states and decreased in 25 states and the District of Columbia in June. The largest employment increases occurred in North Carolina (+21,900), Pennsylvania (+17,700), and Arizona (+10,200). Montana had the largest over-the-month percentage increase (+0.9 percent), followed by Hawaii and North Carolina (+0.6 percent each) and Arizona (+0.5 percent). The largest employment declines were posted in Florida (-46,100), Michigan (-13,600), Ohio (-12,200), and Tennessee (-10,800). The District of Columbia, Florida, and Wyoming reported the largest over-the-month percentage decreases in employment (-0.6 percent each). Six other states had over-the-month declines of 0.4 percent. (See table 5.) Over the year, employment decreased in 34 states. The largest employment decreases were in New York (-110,100), Georgia (-78,000), Illinois (-77,100), and Texas (-73,900). Colorado, Georgia, Missouri, and Washington reported the largest over-the-year percentage declines in employment (-2.0 percent each). The biggest over-the-year gains in employment occurred in North Carolina (+19,300), Kansas (+14,000), Kentucky (+12,900), and Oklahoma (+11,500). The largest percentage increases were reported in Alaska, Montana, South Dakota, and Wyoming (+1.1 percent each). (See chart 2.) Over the year, most major industry divisions experienced employment declines. Manufacturing remained the weakest industry division, with 49 states and the District of Columbia posting over-the-year employment decreases. Transportation and public utilities employment weakened, with 45 states and the District of Columbia experiencing over-the-year declines. In contrast to these losses, 39 states reported employment gains in govern- ment, and 35 states and the District of Columbia reported over-the-year employment gains in services. _____________________________ The Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment release for June is scheduled to be issued on July 31. The Regional and State Employment and Unemployment release for July is scheduled to be issued on August 20. - 3 - --------------------------------------------------------------------- | Upcoming Changes to State and Metropolitan Area | | Nonfarm Payroll Series in March 2003 | | | | NAICS conversion. The nonfarm payroll series for states and | | metropolitan areas, produced from the Current Employment Statistics | | (CES) program and presented for states in tables 5 and 6 of this | | news release, will be converted from the 1987 Standard Industrial | | Classification (SIC) basis to the 2002 North American Industry | | Classification System (NAICS) basis with the release in March 2003 | | of January 2003 estimates. The NAICS conversion involves major | | definitional changes to many of the currently published SIC-based | | series. After the conversion to NAICS, SIC-based series will no | | longer be produced or published. Historical time series will be | | reconstructed as part of the NAICS conversion process. At the | | state and metropolitan area level, the NAICS-based reconstruction | | effort will cover only the all employee series, which will have a | | NAICS-based history extending back to January 1990, except for | | total nonfarm employment series, which will retain their current | | beginning dates. There will be no reconstruction of average weekly | | hours, average hourly earnings, or other data types; these series | | will begin in January 2001 on a NAICS basis. | | | | Completion of the CES sample redesign. March 2003 also will | | mark the completion of the CES sample redesign phase-in at the | | state and metropolitan area level. The redesign converts the CES | | from a quota-based sample to a probability-based sample. In March | | 2003, at the state and metropolitan area level, the transportation | | and public utilities; finance, insurance, and real estate; retail | | trade; and services industries will be converted to the new sample. | | All other private sector industries have already been converted. | | The final stage of sample redesign phase-in may result in level | | shifts for average weekly hours, average hourly earnings, and | | production worker employment series. New levels for these series | | are being computed from NAICS/probability sample-based averages. | | | | Small domain models. With the full implementation of the CES | | sample redesign at the state and metropolitan area level in March | | 2003, some redistribution of sample from smaller to larger | | metropolitan areas will be needed in order to maximize the | | reliability of the statewide total nonfarm estimates. In order | | to sustain the viability of the employment series for smaller | | domains, primarily detailed industry series within the smallest | | metropolitan areas, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has | | developed a small domain model, based on weighted least squares | | regression methodology. The inputs for the model are available | | sample, time series history, and additional information from the | | full state sample. In March 2003, the model will be implemented | | as the official estimator for the approximately 10 percent of CES | | published series which have insufficient sample for direct sample- | | based estimates. | | | | Further information on upcoming changes to CES data series is | | available through the BLS public database at the state and area | | homepage at http://www.bls.gov/sae/ or by calling 202-691-6559. | --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 substate 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://www.bls.gov/lau/). Employment data from the CES program are available at (http://www.bls.gov/sae/). Information in this release will be made available to sensory impaired individuals upon request.
